what cant i put in dishwasher

[kittypants]

JUST GOT DISHWASHER.WHAT CANT GO IN?PLASTIC BOWLS,SPONS,CUPS?sorry ds playing with caps lock.can i put baby bottles/ds drinking beakers in?

I put in almost everything, except thngs like wooden chopping boards. Baby bottles, etc are all fine to go in.

I put everything in mine. You can read the bottom of stuff and it will say if it can't but most things can.

Stick 'em in and see what happens - that's my approach!

YAY you got a dishwasher - I got one earlier this year and it has made me so happy!

Hooray! I could never go back to not having a dishwasher. Well I could if I had to, but it's be damn depressing.

You can put most things in - the secret is to stack things so nothing's obscured from the jets of water and don't overload it.

Most plastic can go in, except realy thin plastic like you might get on a coke bottle for example. It could come out a bit buckled because it gets so hot inside.

I have found transfers on childrens cups tend to eventually start to disappear too.

the cat

DimpledThighsi moan about washingup, now im having trouble filling it!

lucycat,i thought that was acceptable,no?

children and cats

I have even washed the children's bath toys in mine when they looked a bit gunky.

kittypants

you'd get fur on everything!

but you can put your Crocs in.

true,new trend though fluffy dishes

don't put the children in - only put the cat in if it really smells or is really getting on your nerves.

oh yeah and kittypants I had to go out and buy loads more plates and cutlery as you are not washing up throught he day but small price to pay!

on some 'you are how clean your house is you eat' programme they said to put your dishclothes etc in there as it gets really hot and strealises them.

My BIL does this but he is a bit of a twunt.

i heard you could put your muddy ptatoes in for rinse!

potatoes
if only i could bath children in it my life would be complete!

can children not go in on the top shelf ?

only if you turn them upside down so they don't fill with water

what if the press gets hold of this

"SHOCK HORROR! MOTHERS ON INTERNET ENDORSE WASHING OF CHILDREN IN DISHWASHERS"

the internet should be banned IMO

lol

only if they are really dirty and the washer is going on anyway, wouldn't want to waste water - the environment and all that...

.seriously can saucepans go in?

I'm with DT on this - stick it in, see what happens . Except anything with gold leaf on, proper crystal glasses. I put wooden spoons in, washing up brush, bath toys etc etc.

Don't put good quality sharp knives in, it damages the blades.

but saucepans ok?

pans, yes. my baking trays have gone rusty (but i don't mind)

saucepans fine - but if they have like white sauce or something in then you may end up washingthem by hand after. They also take up a lot of space. Stick it in unless really dirty or you need the space.
