Never to Put These 10 Things Inside
I never imagined something as simple as loading my dishwasher could turn into a disaster.
One evening, I started the dishwasher like I had done hundreds of times before. About an hour later, I heard a loud popping sound coming from the kitchen. When I walked in, I was shocked. Tiny pieces of shattered glass were everywhere. The dishwasher door was covered with broken glass, and the entire kitchen floor looked like a disaster zone.
Thankfully, no one was standing nearby—especially my kids. It could have been much worse.
The next morning, I called a local appliance repair technician. After inspecting the dishwasher, he asked me one simple question:
“What exactly did you put inside?”
I told him everything I remembered loading into the machine. He nodded and explained that many everyday kitchen items are not designed to survive the intense heat, strong water pressure, and harsh detergents used inside a dishwasher.
He then handed me a list of common household items that should never be placed in a dishwasher because they can become damaged—or even damage the appliance itself.
Some of the items on the list completely surprised me because I had been washing them that way for years.
