However, when using a dishwasher, you need to choose the right type of chopsticks to avoid affecting their quality. Here are the types of chopsticks that you should and should not put in the dishwasher that you need to know.
1. Types of chopsticks suitable for dishwasher
SPS Eco antibacterial chopsticks from Japan

The main advantage that impresses users of SPS Eco chopsticks is their lightweight and comfortable grip. Moreover, picking up food is also extremely easy when not slippery like metal chopsticks.
Stainless steel chopsticks
These are also one of the types of chopsticks suitable for use in the dishwasher. Stainless steel chopsticks are not affected by water and moisture, have high heat resistance so they will not deform or damage when cleaned by the dishwasher.
Stainless steel chopsticks have a luxurious design, are thin and lightweight, not moldy, and durable to use. Moreover, placing chopsticks in the dishwasher is easy without obstructing the rotation and water spraying process for effective cleaning.
Japanese glass fiber chopsticks

2. Types of chopsticks not suitable for dishwasher
As mentioned above, not every type of chopsticks can be used with the dishwasher. Because if the utensils have inappropriate materials, they will quickly deteriorate, moreover, they will affect the operation and lifespan of the dishwasher. Here are the types of chopsticks not suitable for the dishwasher:
Plastic chopsticks
Chopsticks made of ordinary plastic material will have low heat resistance and durability, easy to deform and change color when exposed to hot water during the dishwashing process. Moreover, plastic chopsticks when put into the dishwasher can also cause damage to both the machine and the chopsticks themselves.
Wooden chopsticks
Wooden chopsticks and other wooden utensils such as cutting boards, bowls should not be used for the dishwasher. The reason is that this material has the ability to absorb odors and steam from other dirty utensils during the washing process. Moreover, wooden chopsticks are prone to mold and can spread bacteria to other utensils when washed together in the dishwasher.
In addition, wooden chopsticks can deform and fade when using strong detergents.
Chopsticks with patterns, motifs, gold or copper plating
Types of chopsticks decorated with eye-catching patterns, motifs, or gold or copper plating are prone to peeling, dulling the gold or copper plating when exposed to high temperatures or strong detergents during washing. Therefore, to ensure the durability and beauty of these patterned chopsticks, you absolutely should not use them for the dishwasher.
