1. High-quality glassware
Items made of high-quality glass are often delicate. Exposure to sudden temperature changes or high dishwasher heat can lead to breakage. Moreover, the dishwasher's detergent may cause these premium glass items to discolor.
2. Plastic and synthetic fiber items
The dishwasher's interior temperature is typically high, ranging from 60 to 85 degrees Celsius, ensuring thorough bacteria elimination. Consequently, placing plastic or synthetic fiber items (with poor heat resistance) in the dishwasher can result in deformation or discoloration, rendering them unusable.
Therefore, before loading any item into the dishwasher, carefully review the product information.
3. Utensils with non-stick coating
Items with non-stick coatings, such as pans and baking dishes, should never be placed in the dishwasher. The strong water pressure, high detergent concentration, and hot water temperature during the dishwasher cycle can lead to peeling and damage to the non-stick layer, affecting the safety of use.
To ensure both your health and the longevity of the product, it's recommended to handwash utensils with non-stick coatings.
4. Wooden items
Tools made of wood, such as wooden chopsticks and cutting boards, are prone to warping, cracking, and damage when exposed to high temperatures. Therefore, these items should never be placed in the dishwasher to ensure their long-lasting usability.
5. Gold-plated or copper-plated items
Avoid using dishwashers for items plated with copper or gold as they are highly susceptible to temperature and detergent influence. Washing utensils like spoons, plates, and knives plated with copper or gold in the dishwasher can lead to oxidation and discoloration, compromising aesthetics and not conducive to health.
6. Utensils made of copper, aluminum, iron
Kitchen utensils crafted from materials like copper, aluminum, or iron such as plates, pots, and pans may undergo oxidation and discoloration when exposed to dishwasher detergent and high temperatures. Additionally, iron items are more prone to rusting.
7. Items with adhesive labels
Items with adhesive labels such as bottles and jars should never be used with a dishwasher. Fragments of labels can potentially clog and damage the dishwasher. Moreover, they may stick to other items, leading to additional cleanup time.
8. Lacquered or intricately designed premium dinnerware
Decorative items with lacquer finishes have poor heat resistance, making them prone to peeling when exposed to high temperatures or sudden temperature changes. Additionally, premium dinnerware adorned with intricate patterns should not be placed in the dishwasher to preserve their original value and beauty.
9. Bottles and small-necked jars
These items should not be placed in the dishwasher as they are challenging to clean thoroughly. The small neck diameter of bottles and jars prevents water spray from reaching deep inside.
10. Root and fruit peeling tools such as knives and shears
Many believe that tools like knives and shears can be cleaned in the dishwasher, but, in reality, they will corrode and lose sharpness with frequent dishwasher use. Additionally, they can scratch and damage other items being washed alongside.
