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.

    General purpose silicones like silicone sealants and gaskets tend to have a high-temperature limit of around 200 C to 250 C and also lower temperatures of -50 C to -75 C.

    So your dishwasher isn’t going to warp silicone, but lots of plastics, yeah.
