Can I use this to clean the dishwasher?

Sure---it beats using chlorine-based products! HOWEVER, I would not risk dumping the product into the dishwasher and turning it on. What you CAN DO is to put a tablespoon of the powdered lye into a container and add about a quart of water to it. Then dump that into your dishwasher and let it splash around inside. Or--a better way--would be to put the lye-and-water solution (above) on a rag and wipe down the inside of your dishwasher. I've been using lye in water for several years now instead of harmful chlorine and it has really saved my bacon when family members are coughing and sneezing all over everything. I add it to my dish water (use it with Dawn detergent), and use it to clean surfaces. After all, lye was the basis of Lysol! Your own homemade "Lysol" is cheaper, fragrance free, and works very well.

I would think do but I've never tried it. I have put it in the dishwasher though with no problems.

I would not wash a paper item in a dishwasher, nor put a wet item into a vacuum. You are better off shaking and hitting the filter piece against the top of a dirt bin to eliminate some of the dust and dirt should you wish to obtain maximum usage out of each filter. I am a buyer and "user" of the product, not a seller, distributor or manufacturer-- so please keep that in mind!

No, the manual states to hand wash and not use abrasive cleaners. As another individual said, it is so large that it will take up most of the space in the dishwasher. I prefer to hand wash my more expensive kitchenware to help them last longer, since the dish washer can be quite harsh on them.

I think that it can be cleaned in the dishwasher according to the web site.http://bodum.bodum.com/us/en-us/shop/detail/11057-913BUS/

I have not personally tried that as I don't have a dishwasher. It may create too many suds for that though.

Although there is nothing that confirms or denies the ability to use it in a dishwasher, I would not put it in the dishwasher. Regular dish brush and water will clean it in 5 seconds.

I'm not really sure as I don't have a dishwasher. I don't know why it wouldn't be as the parts are either steel or hard plastic and there don't seem to be any warnings. It's certainly easy enough to clean manually.

nope, nor would it have the necessary rate of flow. fortunately, most dishwasher detergents contain sufficient water softeners and surfactants for hard water. I don't have excessively hard tap water here in the Denver area, but I have no problem using the waste water from my RO system to use for the dishwasher; that is, running the RO system first, then running the dishwasher. The dishwasher uses up whatever waste water has been pushed into the plumbing lines first, and dishes still come out clean and spotless. In short, even if your RO tank did have enough flow and capacity, it would be a waste to wash dishes with RO water.

Although it is not made for that, I am sure you could use it to wash dishes. What makes the cloth so special is it is lined with silver and has tightly woven microfibers. What that basically means, is when you use it to clean up a mess on your counter, floors, etc, the microfiber catches all the "junk" from the surface leaving it clean. After you wash the cloth and ring it out, you hang it to dry. When it is drying, the silver kicks in and kills the bacteria. That way you can use the cloth over and over again without the worry of spreading bacteria across your home.

possibly but the small opening would make the dishwasher cleaning it harder. There are cleaning instructions with the kit. Just rinse it out in the sink with some light soap and water then let it air dry. Or if you're a real pirate you'll never wash it and just keep refilling it with rum...your choice

I wouldn't. It's for cleaning floors, counter tops, and others surfaces like that. Mrs. Meyer's does make a soap for dishes.

Absolutely. Gave it as a gift to my dad and he uses his. I believe it may not be dishwasher safe, though, so a quick hand-wash would be neccesary.

Don't know. I don't have a dishwasher. In my house, I AM the dishwasher. lol Sorry I couldn't help.

I haven't done it, but I think you could. It's solidly made out of stainless steel. The problem I see is that the opening on the top is quite small and I'm not sure how well a dishwasher would clean the inside.
