TK Unexpected Items You Can Clean in the Dishwasher

If you’ve ever lived without a dishwasher, then you know how truly life-changing they can be. But while a great dishwasher is a must-have for any busy household, it turns out we all might be majorly underusing our machines.
According to the team at the dishwasher detergent brand Cascade, dishwashers aren’t just for dishes. In fact, more kitchen and household items can go into your dishwasher than you probably realize.
We recently connected with Mary Colvin, senior scientist for Procter & Gamble, who talked us through some dishwasher life hacks that are sure to change our cleaning game for good. Here's what she says we can add to our next load.
Mary Colvin is a senior scientist for Procter & Gamble with over 30 years of sanitation and cleaning experience.
You may have been warned against washing plastic food containers in the dishwasher—and with good reason. Plenty of these kitchen staples aren’t dishwasher safe.
However, as long as it’s clearly noted on the container, you can absolutely pop them into your next cycle—with one precaution: they need to be loaded onto the top rack of your machine to avoid overheating.
According to Colvin, this area of your dishwasher isn’t subjected to as much heat as the bottom shelf. That area can cause a whole host of problems for your plastic containers, including warping and melting.

The top rack also minimizes exposure to direct water jets, which can lead to water spots and reduce the longevity of the containers, she explains.
If your plastic containers aren’t dishwasher safe, then placement won’t make a difference. Colvin says it’s key to always check labels and instructions before placing anything you’re unsure of into your dishwasher.
