Dishwasher heat and water pressure can make existing damage worse.
Better care
Wash gently by hand using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
Avoid long soaking periods, especially if the piece already has cracks in the glaze.
Other Items That Need Extra Care
A few other materials may also be unsuitable for the dishwasher depending on how they were made.
Aluminum
Uncoated aluminum may discolor or react with strong dishwasher detergents.
Sensitive Plastics
Some plastics can warp under high heat.
Only place them in the dishwasher if they are clearly labeled dishwasher safe.
Hand-Painted Mugs
Decorative designs can gradually fade, especially if they are applied over the glaze.
Electrical Components
Motorized parts, electrical attachments, and items with wiring should never go in the dishwasher unless the manufacturer specifically states that a removable component is dishwasher safe.
