What items should I avoid washing with Dropps Dishwasher Detergents?Updated 19 days ago

Some items aren’t recommended for dishwasher cleaning, no matter the detergent, due to how dishwashers can affect them. While we can’t list everything, here are some common items that are best hand-washed and why:

  • Cast iron cookware: Dishwashers can strip the seasoning and cause rust.

  • Wooden utensils and cutting boards: Prolonged exposure to water and heat can cause wood to crack and warp.

  • Copper and aluminum cookware: These metals can discolor or corrode in a dishwasher’s high heat and detergent environment.

  • Non-stick pans: The dishwasher can damage the non-stick coating, reducing its lifespan.

  • Sharp knives: Dishwasher detergent and the high heat can dull blades.

  • Fine china and delicate glassware: High heat and powerful water jets can chip or crack delicate items.

Always check the care instructions for any item before placing it in the dishwasher. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at [email protected], and we’d be happy to help!
