YSK: many water bottles come with silicone gaskets that must be removed and washed to prevent mold and mildew buildup. - eviltoast

Dishwashers won’t clean these gaskets if they’re washed while installed. Oh, and those silicone straws can come out of the dishwasher nasty too.

    I’ve seen a lot of fabrics that say “Dry Clean Only” because the manufacturer was too lazy, but my experience with dishes finds that the labels are generally quite accurate. Putting a non-dishwasher-safe item in usually ruins it.
