To be lazy and put pram wheels in the dishwasher?

[BornToShopForcedToWork]

Hi,

Can I put dirty pram wheels (bugaboo chameleon) in the dishwasher?

Op yabvvvvu sharing plates with dog shit, wee covered pram wheels. Why can't you hose them down in the garden

I was going to say why clean pram wheels blah blah but then I remembered my own PFB madness so I shall say old toothbrush and weak milton or those ear-weekers (cotton buds) for scrubbing those hard to reach places?

How can doing anything so pointless and OTT be deemed lazy? Bonkers yes, but not lazy.

Are you sure the dishwasher heat won't wreck them, or the powder etch them?

I cleaned mine in the dish washer as it had to go into a hospital, scrubbed the chassis down with anti bac too.

It also comes into my house so I like to keep it clean.

oh I am loving the use of etch, nemno, superb

You're meant to clean prams???

Maybe I'm missing something here... But arent pram wheels something which are bound to get dirty because you push your pram outdoors? Surely life's too short to be arsing about cleaning them full stop

I used to keep my pram indoors btw but only inside the back door. You don't exactly push a pram around your house..... Or do you?!

Yabu, the only things that should go in the dishwasher are dishes.

Thank you RaisinDEtre, that made me smile (and I really need to at the moment).

I would consider it I suppose, but TBH I think the Bugaboo wheels are so easy to remove and I imagine easy to clean (Not too many nooks and crannies for dirt to hide) I think I'd just do it in the sink with a scrubbing brush or toothbrush. Would take less than 5 mins to do all 4 I reckon!

I'm not overly paranoid about germs but do question the idea of putting pram wheels in the dishwasher. But then I'm rather astonished at anyone seriously bothering to clean pram wheels quite so thoroughly. Or at all in fact.

I can, however, see why you'd not want to bring excess mud and dog shit into the house but pram wheels are designed to go outside and cope with what the outside brings. Not be so clean that you could perform surgery with them.

I put all kinds of stuff in the dishwasher and no one has died from eating off the plates afterwards.
Go for it, they'll come up lovely and clean.
If you are really paranoid about plates, do an empty run after with a bit of bleach in the detergent section.

YABU Yuk!

I remember the last thread like this where a poster put her Wellies with dog poo on in the dishwasher.

In the dishwasher? . I won't even ask why the wheels need to be washed anyway, they're going straight back out on the pavement, aren't they?

My mate puts her toilet seat in the dishwasher.

I dont drink coffee at her house. Or eat.

All I can think of is the loon interesting woman on TV classic 'My Fake Baby' who had spare sets of wheels for her huge monstrous prams so they stayed pristine. And she did all of this for her doll.

i used DH valenting kit to clean my prams.

i also clean the car wheels

Pram wheels are puddle-clean only aren't they?

Surely the dishwasher 'sterilises' with hot water and detergent????? I am racking my brains to think what other items I can stuff in the dishwasher!! I used to let my springer do a pre wash on the plates before putting them in the dishwasher - do miss that now he has shuffled off this mortal coil.

The wheels came out incredibly clean and shiny . I did rinse the dishwasher after and i mention again: there were bo plates etc. in the dishwasher.

Yabu to wash pram wheels... But if you must wash things thatdon't need to be washed YANBU to put them in the dishwasher. If you use a hot wash it is all sterile. In fact there are ways you can sterilise bottles etc in dishwashers (disclaimer I haven't tried)

My DH puts EVERYTHING in the dishwasher, including bicycle bits

yabu to want to cllean them at all.
they are supposed to be dirty.

i can't stop stop laughing just reading these so PLEASE keep posting "what you would put in your dishwasher if you could" if i could stuff my toilet carpet tiles in there now that the kids can get onto the loo on time/aim properly...........
