Things you wash in the dishwasher

[KeepOnKeepingOnKeepingOn]

Recently I've become the proud new owner of a dishwasher.

I'm after suggestions of things you use it for - so far, I've put glass candle lanterns in (there's no wax on them), and my oven racks to rid of the loose bits before I scrub them. Anything else it's good for?

Wouldn't want to be without a dishwasher.

I don't own anything that doesn't go it. Even bought smaller glasses do they fit well.

Have a search on MN for salmon cooked in the dish washer. Oh and flavoured vodka.

I do find though that anything that needs to be scrubbed, it's better to do so before going through a dish washer cycle. Things tend to get baked on once they have been through a cycle.

What's of really like is two dish washers. One dirty to fill, the other clean to use. Genius.

I wash the dog’s bowls and toys in it.

Kitchen bin, I take out the top rack, it fits and comes out beautifully clean

Just because an item has a specific name don't be 'tunneled' into thinking you can only wash' dishes in a dishwasher'.
You can put your crocs into it. They come up very clean. You can put your loo brush and hairbrushes into it. Children's plastic toys clean and sanitise in a dishwasher.
You can poach salmon and chicken if you wrap them up carefully. I am always interested in finding new ways to utilise everyday items such as this. I find my dishwasher indispensable.

I put the drawer from the washing machine where you put the powder and soap into ours

People will be on here frothing shortly about all the pet bowls and toilet brushes.

I stick all sorts in mine.

For the life of me I can't get my drawer out to do this. I have tried pulling but think it may break

@changedmynameforChristmas is there a little bit you press down to unhinge it?

Don't poach salmon in it.
I wash my 👓 specs

Fridge shelves too.

@changedmynameforChristmas ours you have to push down on the bit above the fabric conditioner compartment and then give it a yank. It did take me a while to work out how to get ours out

Lego/playmobil

Brilliant for most things but I did balk at my friend having the dog bowls and the baby bottles in it at the same time, her kids isn't being harmed by it though

My husband has admitted washing engine parts in ours.

I have arrived! Honestly at a push the dogs bowl but why do people do this with the loo brushes??? Is it not really a trick to make gullible people stick their loo brush in the dishwasher

There is no bastard hinge on my washer drawer :)
I put the ironware from my gas cooker in mine - the things you place your pans on etc

I clean the extractor fan filters in mine, and put the plastic dish drainer in regularly to keep it hygienic.

Great suggestions thanks everyone

Dishwashing brush

Yeah defo the loo brush isn't for real 🤮😂😂😂

Loo brush in the dishwasher? That's utterly disgusting.

Dishcloth and brush

When my dishwasher still worked, my ancient tea pot would go in. Decades of tea stains vanished in a quick cycle! Fantastic.

The High chair from IKEA goes in it

They are bloody brilliant for washing Lego and other hard kids toys.
