Must admit ive only ever washed dishes in mine

I never would have thought of these, cheers.

Lol great ideas not sure I would do them but great tips

I don’t have a dishwasher so I can’t use it for any of these. Not sure I would be comfortable washing my dishes, things I eat off and use to eat, after washing a lot of these items tho. Big yucky!

What great tips. I’ve never cleaned anything other than the normal dishes. What a great idea with some of these items.

I’ve washed my dogs bowls in the dishwasher before. They are stainless steel and they come out so much better than me doing them by hand. I’ve also put our hair brushes through

My husband puts his hats – baseball caps and that sort of thing that he wears to work. They don’t come out misshaped or anything and it works great.

I have a dishwasher but in the 7 years I live in this house I never used it once !! But great idea’s. Maybe I should start using it.

I clean the range hood filters and put the vitreous enamel racks from my gas cook top in too – simply cleaned in no time.

I always clean my filters from my rangehood. Cleaner and completely grease free.

What great ideas. I’ve seen my dishwasher in a new light.

We do this a lot especially when the kids are sick

Wow! I would never have thought of putting most of these things in a dish washer. I don’t even HAVE a dishwasher, that might be a good start haha

I have cleaned the vitreous enamel racks on my BBQ as well as all my hubby’s hydroponic garden attachments and plastic catches, etc.

I would not put a lot of these items eg shoes in the dishwasher.

Going to give some of these a try. Never thought so many things could be washed in the humble dishwasher

There is no way on this earth I would put tools in a dishwasher. They should be cleaned with a rag and kerosene or turps unless they have only been used indoors. Depending on the metal they are made of their surface vibrating with the force of the water would damage the interior of your dishwasher. The chemicals in the dishwashing product could damage the surface of the tools too. Over time some tools would lose their accurate measures too. They eventually do anyway. If they don’t fit properly you can damage what you use them for. They are like everything else the quality of manufacture leaves a lot to be desired as it is, they are more expensive than they used to be even taking manufacturing cost increases. You can only put some types of plastics in a dishwasher. The heat and steam damage some. I put some fairly new plastic drinking glasses in mine and they came out scratched. (they weren’t cheap ones). Some toys are made of synthetic rubber. They let off a horrible odour if they are left in a heated area for too long. What chemicals are they releasing? Would you want them in your kitchen let alone your dishwasher?

Definitely some ideas there that I would have never thought of. Thanks for some great tips.

My dishwaher is always to full of either clean or dirty dishes to use for other iems most of wich could be put in with the clotthes in the washing machine. (maybe noth the tools or the filters for vaccum)

So many interesting ideas! I’ve got a very old dishwasher that actually I never use. I think you inspired me, in particular with the toys’ idea!!
