Today I show you what you absolutely must not put in your dishwasher.
Because if you're like me, I'm sure you don't worry too much!
Heavily soiled dishes, fragile porcelain...
Generally, we put everything in it and let the dishwasher manage.
Except that by not following certain instructions, you end up damaging the machine and the dishes themselves.
And I know what I'm talking about, I paid the price!
I put everything in the dishwasher without worrying about anything.
Result:premature wear of my dishes and my appliance.
So if you want to avoid this type of situation, take the right steps.

Do you have grandma's precious tableware at home?
You know, it's the one with the gold or silver edges.
Well, it absolutely should not go in the dishwasher!
Not respecting this basic principle, is the guarantee of seeing the patterns degrade or disappear completely!
So if you don't want a problem with granny, I advise you to wash these dishes by hand.
Crystal is a material like no other.
It is as fragile as it is precious.
It is therefore pampered with delicacy, especially when washed.
Except that putting crystal in the dishwasher tarnishes its shine over time.
So you don't necessarily see it in the first wash, but as the material degrades.
To avoid this phenomenon, again prefer to wash this type of dishes by hand.
In "soft plastic boxes", there are "plastic" and "soft".
Does it put you on the track?
This means that this type of utensil is by definition friable and deformable.
In contact with very hot water, the material can twist or even melt on certain parts!
So be careful, because the dishwasher sends out very hot water during its wash cycle.
It is also better to wash your plastic box yourself.
Steel kitchen knives need maintenance to keep them sharp.
The problem is that putting them in the dishwasher can damage the blade.
By dint of machine cleaning, the cutting edge crumbles and is no longer as sharp as before.
Avoid this type of cleaning.
The non-stick coatings of pots, pans, cake pans are hyper sensitive.
They can quickly lose their non-stick properties if they are not taken care of.
I therefore strongly advise against washing them in the dishwasher, even if they are burnt!
In general, it is much better to clean baby's eating utensils by hand.
This is especially true when it comes to bottle teats.
Remember that plastic does not mix well with hot water in the dishwasher.
And it's even worse with the soft plastic teats!
No really, baby accessories are not dishwasher safe.
It's not a good idea to put your wooden utensils in the dishwasher at all.
I'm talking about wooden spoons, cutting boards, spatulas...
Putting them in the dishwasher damages them, leaves marks and makes them smelly.
It can even create a few splinters and leave an acid taste on the wood; so watch out.
Prefer to wash them this way instead.
The word cast iron makes us think that this material is unassailable.
However, cast iron pans deteriorate very quickly when cleaned in the dishwasher.
The coating may even start to rust.
Either way, cast iron or nonstick skillet, same fight.
We do not put them in the dishwasher!
To keep our drinks warm, the inside of a thermos is equipped with a layer of insulation.
Except that under the pressure of the water that the dishwasher sends, this layer of insulation can peel off.
It is therefore not recommended to wash the thermos in this way.
In any case, of course, look at the instructions if your accessory is resistant to cleaning in the dishwasher.
After a good potato gratin, there is always a significant amount of residue in the dish.
We then put the dish directly in the dishwasher, thinking that everything will go away without any problem.
Bad idea...
Residues go directly into drains and can clog filters!
Before putting on dirty dishes, always remove as much residue as possible.
Some cutlery has what are called hollow handles.
These are for example the handles attached to the frame of a knife.
The problem is that these sleeves are often attached with poor quality glue.
By dint of going through the dishwasher, you can be sure that these sleeves will come off.
So for this kind of utensil, head for the sink.
Very practical when it comes to transporting meals, aluminum trays are small fragile boxes.
They crease for nothing.
So ditch the idea of washing them in the dishwasher right away.
One, they do not hold the shock, two, the material can damage the dishwasher itself!
A lot of plastic utensils are dishwasher safe, it's true.
But here I am talking about soft plastic utensils.
This is, for example, the Maryse type spatulas.
It is imperative wash them by hand if you don't want to have a bad surprise!
Did you know that you should avoid putting ashtrays in the dishwasher?
Why?
Because ash damages the coating of the interior walls of your dishwasher!
And that, you really don't want that to happen to you!
At the price of dishwashers, that would be too bad...
A dishwasher is maintained in the same way as a washing machine or a simple coffee maker.
Indeed, this type of device is constantly attacked and can get dirty very quickly.
Dirt, limestone, natural wear...
It is important to take care of it so that it retains its performance and long life.
For this, nothing better than giving it a little white vinegar treatment from time to time.
It cleans the circuits and cleans the dirt thoroughly.
Also remember to regularly clean the spray arms, filter, tank and door seal.
Finally, for maximum washing efficiency, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not overload the dishwasher.
Give your plates a shot of water before putting them in the dishwasher and space them well.
Same for cutlery.
