Is it possible to clean lead crystal and gold/silver rimmed china in the dishwasher?

[GrimmaTheNome]

Its been sitting out getting dusty while kitchen redone, want to clean the whole lot before putting it away - wondering if I dare put it in the dishwasher just this once. Quick cool program obv - maybe without a tablet (as obv no actual food on it)

Any of you done it and got away with it - or regretted it?

Thanks

I wouldnt chance it especially if it is expensive

Its mostly the wedding present stuff which hardly ever gets used.

haven't you got a sink?

I wouldnt risk it, even if you dont use it you dont want it ruined.

A bit of warm soapy water will bring it up clean and not ruin the finish.

haven't you got a sink?
yes, but not much of a draining board... ok, I'd better resign myself to the suds and teatowels

thanks for the advice - I was hoping someone else had successfully risked it as I can't see how damage would occur if done with no tablet just warm water.

I think its the force of the water that would cause damage
