Washing dishes is one of the most tedious household chores.\u00a0Let’s face it, life completely changes with the dishwasher: this essential accomplice in the kitchen makes our daily lives easier by saving us a lot of time.<\/h5>\n
Thanks to the high temperatures, it is much more effective than hand washing in removing grease and bacteria.\u00a0It cleans and shines all our dishes, cutlery and various utensils.<\/h5>\n
However, although it is very efficient, it is nonetheless infallible and can be damaged in the long run if you do not take care of it.\u00a0Unfortunately, as much as we want to avoid it, sometimes it is more useful to wash by hand than in the machine!<\/h5>\n
First of all, it is strongly recommended to rinse the dishes with hot water before installing them in the appliance.\u00a0Because dirt and food residue accumulate in the filter, eventually clogging it and triggering bad odors.<\/h5>\n
Besides, always remember to clean the filter carefully after each wash cycle.\u00a0In order to optimize the operation of the dishwasher, it is also very important to sort objects before cluttering the appliance.\u00a0Because, unfortunately, although we want to avoid it, it is sometimes more useful to wash by hand than in the machine!<\/h5>\n
You may not know it, but certain objects have no place there: to avoid damaging them, it is best to wash them by hand.\u00a0There are therefore, in fact, certain precautions to take to avoid damaging the appliance and to always have clean dishes.<\/h5>\n
To avoid any more unpleasant surprises and preserve the longevity of your appliance, here is a list of all the utensils and types of dishes that should not be put in the dishwasher.<\/h5>\n
1. Wooden spoons and other wooden utensils<\/h5>\n

\n<\/h5>\n
Are you used to putting your wooden utensils in the dishwasher?\u00a0Bad idea.\u00a0You have undoubtedly noticed that they had a worn appearance, that they were deformed or even discolored.<\/h5>\n
No wonder:\u00a0\u00a0hot water and high drying temperatures are not suitable for ladles, spatulas, bowls, rolling pins and other wooden objects.\u00a0In addition, constantly subjected to humidity from the device, this material absorbs bacteria and odors more easily.<\/h5>\n
To prevent the woody structure from deforming or cracking, it is better to wash these utensils by hand: a little dishwashing liquid, hot water and a clean sponge to wipe them.<\/h5>\n
2. Thermoses<\/h5>\n
\"11<\/h5>\n
The insulated Thermos cups that you often use when you go out are very practical.\u00a0However, not all of them are dishwasher safe.\u00a0Water that penetrates damages the material: they can thus lose their heat-maintaining function.<\/h5>\n
Indeed, the insulation layer risks decomposing and no longer being functional.\u00a0However, most modern thermoses have a higher resistance capacity.\u00a0To avoid any risk, it is advisable to always check the description of the packaging.<\/h5>\n
3. Cast iron pan<\/h5>\n
Cast iron pans, woks and other pots do not go hand in hand with the dishwasher!\u00a0Non-stick and ecological, these utensils cannot withstand washing at high temperatures.\u00a0Their non-stick coating is likely to suffer.<\/h5>\n
To ensure good durability of your pan or casserole dish, and to prevent them from rusting or flaking, the ideal would be to clean them with salt or a little elbow grease before rinsing it gently with water. lukewarm.<\/h5>\n
4. Oven dishes with too much burnt food<\/h5>\n

\n<\/h5>\n
Pans and oven trays are almost always covered in burnt food, which can damage your dishwasher.\u00a0To avoid this inconvenience, it is wiser to only wash them by hand with baking soda.\u00a0This natural product is particularly effective in banishing these burn spots thanks to its degreasing and disinfectant properties.<\/h5>\n
5. Porcelain plates<\/h5>\n
The dishwasher is far too powerful for dishes that are too delicate, such as porcelain or crystal.\u00a0If you have porcelain plates that are collectible, very expensive or even have sentimental value to you, we strongly advise you to opt for manual washing.\u00a0Hot water, combined with detergent, can quickly alter the color of your dishes.<\/h5>\n
Not to mention that the spray arm is also likely to chip your precious dishes.\u00a0Likewise, unlike ordinary glass, crystal pieces are extremely vulnerable.\u00a0High temperature and pressure can even shatter your crystal glasses!<\/h5>\n
NB:\u00a0\u00a0as a general rule, we always recommend washing fragile utensils by hand.<\/h5>\n
6. Garlic press and grater<\/h5>\n
\"11<\/h5>\n
Due to its pasty and sticky texture, pieces of garlic can easily get stuck in the holes of the dishwasher.\u00a0It would therefore be more appropriate to clean the garlic press by hand to make it clean and operational for the next use.<\/h5>\n
The same goes for the grater, where everything gets stuck in the holes.\u00a0Once you’ve cleaned them properly, you can of course machine wash them, but the job will have already been done!<\/h5>\n
NB:\u00a0\u00a0As mentioned above, it is always imperative to rinse the dishes before putting them in the appliance.\u00a0This prevents the filter from becoming clogged with food debris.\u00a0Especially since objects may not be washed properly and quickly rust.<\/h5>\n
7. Wooden cutting boards<\/h5>\n

\n<\/h5>\n
Just like other wooden utensils, hot water can damage the surface of your cutting board, dulling it and causing it to lose its shape.\u00a0But the damage doesn’t stop there: the pressure may even scratch the wood to the point that certain small debris damage the rest of the dishes during the wash cycle.<\/h5>\n
8. Thin and sharp knives<\/h5>\n
If you have invested in rather expensive kitchen knives, it would be wiser to wash them by hand, as heat, humidity and even detergent dull the steel blade and alter the sharpness of specialty knives.\u00a0Not to mention, the hard plastic of the dishwasher can easily be damaged by thin, sharp knives.<\/h5>\n
These could also scratch the rest of the dishes.\u00a0Unless you have a special compartment for knives.\u00a0However, even to prevent rust from forming, knives will last longer if you wash them by hand.<\/h5>\n
9. Copper utensils<\/h5>\n
\"11<\/h5>\n
Copper pots, pans and mugs are damaged in the dishwasher:\u00a0\u00a0the fine color of copper fades and becomes dark.\u00a0Hand washing is the best option!<\/h5>\n
NB:\u00a0\u00a0generally, the packaging of utensils mentions whether they are machine washable or not.<\/h5>\n
10. Aluminum utensils<\/h5>\n
Your dishwasher is at great risk:\u00a0\u00a0aluminum objects risk discoloring the dishwasher and clogging its circuits.\u00a0This also applies to disposable items.\u00a0Particularly flexible plastic containers which can themselves deform, melt or stick to the wall of the appliance.\u00a0It is therefore best to wash them by hand.<\/h5>\n
11. Bottles and jars with labels<\/h5>\n
continued on next page
\n<\/h5>\n
If you want to keep your empty jam jar, be sure to remove the label and any sticky residue before putting it in the machine.<\/h5>\n
This is because they come loose in the dishwasher and can get stuck in the filter, which can still cause serious damage and cost you a lot more than a new jar of jam.<\/h5>\n
Good to know<\/h5>\n
So practical on a daily basis, the dishwasher saves you a lot of effort.\u00a0But it’s not a catch-all!\u00a0Filling it to the brim or cluttering it with inappropriate utensils risks ruining its longevity and performance.<\/h5>\n
To prevent food residue from damaging it, encrusted dishes should always be pre-washed in boiling water to remove grease.\u00a0Also, don’t forget to systematically check the manufacturing of certain objects with fragile materials or unsuitable for the device.<\/h5>\n\n
