Items That You Shouldn't Put In Your Dishwasher

10/19/2018

Here´s what you need to understand—the dishwasher has been specifically manufactured and designed to only clean glasses, pots, pans, silverware, and dishes. And, that´s about it! Therefore, you need to be careful with what you put in your dishwasher. Anyway, without beating about the bush any further, here are some of the items that you shouldn't put in your dishwasher.
  • Wooden spoons, bowls, and cutting boards
Well, wooden spoons, bowls, and cutting boards are utensils; but, why can´t you put them in the dishwasher? Well, that´s because dishwasher detergents can play an atrocious role in stripping the natural oils of the aforementioned utensils. When the natural oils are stripped, the wood begins to crack. Wooden utensils and items should only be hand washed with a mild detergent.
  • Don´t put kitchen knives in the dishwasher
Knives are sharp and the edges can nick the protective coating on the baskets and racks, causing rust to form. The harsh detergent of the dishwasher can also dull the knife edges and cause the wooden handles to split.
  • Aluminum pans and cookware
It is in your best interest to avoid putting aluminum cookware and pans in the dishwasher. Doing so can dull and darken the pans and cookware. In addition to that, if the aluminum hasn´t been anodized properly, the harsh detergent can cause corrosion and pitting. It is always better to hand wash aluminum pans and cookware even if they have been labeled as “dishwasher safe.”
