I am really thinking of doing this.

It need descaling any way, which i would do after but would it break the bin part and will i decontaminate the dishwasher.

Perhaps it really really needs cleaning?

When DS was 3 he "cleaned" out the toilet with my hoover after he'd poo'ed....my hoover really really needed cleaning then! but perhaps not in a dishwasher

I have been known to put glass light shades through the dishwasher, also manky vases. It's a good idea!

I think the plastic could become brittle. It may be better to soak the parts in the sink or bath with a couple of dish washer tabs. I wouldn't be too fussy about scrubbing the nooks and crannies as they will get grubby as soon as you use it.

Gross gross gross
I've never considered washing a Hoover ...
Why would you?

DameDeepRedBetty · 04/02/2014 11:34

It looks like the same sort of plastic as the salad box in the fridge, and that's fine in the dishwasher.

I'll have a bash at washing virtually anything in there!

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 04/02/2014 11:39

I would
In fact I'm sorely tempted
I've put the filters through before

I don't get why people have such a problem with stuff going in the dishwasher. It's washes and sterilises stuff, that means it's clean. I put anything in that I can, animals bowls, oven parts, fridge parts, hairbrushes, toys and occasionally crockery

I agree TheWoman.

Although I read your post as:

"I put anything in that I can, animals, bowls,"

I draw the line at livestock....

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 04/02/2014 11:53

I would be tempted if it weren't cruel

ViviPru · 04/02/2014 11:58

Ha yes, me too

Someone once sent me a photo of a dishwasher full of sextoys.

(No, it really wasn't mine. I've never had a dishwasher.)

MrsCakesPremonition · 04/02/2014 22:35

EBearhug - why did someone send you a photo of sextoys in a dishwasher?

maparole · 04/02/2014 23:32

You would be very U to do what I thought your title said:

to put my lover through the dishwasher

Monty27 · 05/02/2014 02:41

I've put hair brushes in the dishwasher. I did try and get every single hair out of them first

They thought it would amuse me. It certainly made an impression on me, as I haven't managed to forget it.

At least they didn't have dishes and cutlery in there at the same time.
