It's like dishware being not dishwasher safe

Sometimes they didn't want to pay for the testing and don't want to be liable (Probably cheap product) sometimes they didn't want to spend the extra 0.05¢/item to apply the proper coating/dyes/machine resistant features (Cheap product)

The rest of the time, it's truly because of "specialized" material, like wool.

If you're looking to buy clothing, it's best if you simply didn't buy anything that is "Handwash Only" (Unless it's something like wool).

If everybody checked and avoided buying "Handwash Only" clothing AND dishware, they would disappear off the market rather quickly (With the exception of special materials that truly can't be made machine-safe)

Tbf knives will not stay sharp if you dishwash them. You just have to sharpen them more often if you do. So you’re either lazy not to hand wash them OR lazy not to sharpen them as much. Has nothing to do with how they are manufactured. Knives just don’t stay sharp in machine washing as the heat dulls it.

Wait… people are putting knives in the dishwasher?! The fuck? They’re like the easier thing to clean!

Well yeah, so are plates but I'm not going to hand wash all of those. I can only trust my dishwasher with stuff that is easy to clean.

You either need different dishwasher detergent or a new dishwasher.

The day I have to pre-rise dishes or the dishwasher doesn’t clean dirty dishes is the day I go shopping for a new dishwasher.

I rent and the dishwasher is like 20 years old.
