What can't I put in a dishwasher?

Thank you everyone. Lots of interesting amd useful advice here..

It's difficult to get the bottom drawer in with a cat behind it - I know. I had just emptied it and it was warm, I think it was the warmth that attracted him.

I still shudder when I think of the time when, having loaded the washing machine and switched it on, I turned round and found a sock on the floor. I stopped the wash and opened the door... and out came a very indignant cat. I'd never seen it before and I never saw it again, but I always check before shutting the door!

You will be amazed at what you can put in a dishwasher, as well as the washing up.

I put all I can in my dishwasher including the detachable part of the kitchen hob air filter. When at my daughter’s the pan supports on her gas hob go in as well.

On a previous thread regarding dishwashers, one member said that they put the toilet brush in it! ?

I don't put my stainless steel saucepans in after doing so for a few washes they lost their shine. I also put the filters from the range hood in the other day and a wire rack but neither seemed to be any better for doing so.

I know someone who puts the crocs they wear in the garden in the dishwasher and the bird feeders.

Well, you've certainly all broadened my idea of what a dishwasher does! Spangler that list was great, I'll be putting my tools and hairbrush in there for sure! Along with crocks, my loo brush (maybe), the cat (not).... the list is endless. Thank you everyone!

I was just about to say no toilet brushes as well Phoenix ugh

No chef's knives in the dishwasher its a rule in our house. I have read articles in home magazines where people have more than one dishwasher, one for crockery and one for pans etc, would that I had the space or money.

Non stick pans, DH ruined one! Silver cutlery and bone handled knives.

Golf balls!

Apologies.
Golf balls can go in, or so I understand from a friend.

Aldi tablets for me and not just because they’re the cheapest, they seem to get the tougher stains etc

I’ve put silver and bone handled knives in for the last 30 years and they’ve come to no harm but wouldn’t put the bread board in, in case it warps.

I’ve also cooked a side of salmon (well wrapped in foil) on the top rack and it was perfect ? - I’ve wondered if a small gammon would steam similarly......?

DH is my dishwasher so I fill it with food

Golf balls! Why not!!!
