Fragile dishes A number of household goods are not suitable for machine washing. This can be due to a variety of reasons. Certain materials cannot withstand intense heat; others can be damaged by the dishwasher detergent. Fragile decoration China with decoration on top of the glaze (the goods have a rough feel) should not be machine washed. Plastic Certain types of plastic cannot withstand the high temperature generated in machine dishwashing. Protect plastic goods Select a program with a low temperature. Crystal/ glass Place the goods so that they do not knock together during the wash. Use the lowest possible wash temperature and the shortest possible program. Do not heat dry! Antique and very fragile items should not be machine washed. Glass which is machine washed at high temperatures can in time develop a grey film which cannot be removed. Wash fine glass at the lowest temperature and with a low dosage of dishwasher detergent.

In such cases the handles can come loose. Wood Wooden items should only be machine washed if they are labeled as dishwasher safe. Aluminum Aluminum can be dulled by machine washing.
