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.

    Usually things marked not for dishwashers can’t hold up to the abrasive nature of the detergent or the heat of the water over a prolonged wash cycle.

    Dishwashers are not magical devices, they basically just spray sandy soap-water for a long time.
