Spülmaschinenfestes

Spülmaschinenfestes is a German adjective meaning "dishwasher-safe". It is used to describe items, typically made of materials like plastic, ceramic, glass, or certain metals, that are designed to withstand the high temperatures, water pressure, and detergents used in a dishwasher without being damaged, warped, discolored, or otherwise compromised.

The designation "spülmaschinenfestes" indicates that an item has been tested or manufactured to endure the rigors of a typical dishwasher cycle. This is a common feature advertised for kitchenware, tableware, cookware, and various household items. Manufacturers often include a symbol or clear indication on the product packaging or the item itself to denote its dishwasher-safe properties, ensuring consumers can properly clean and maintain their purchases.

When an item is not spülmaschinenfestes, it may require handwashing to prevent damage. Materials that are typically not dishwasher-safe include untreated wood, certain delicate plastics, items with adhesive labels or decorations, and some types of metal that can rust or corrode. Understanding this designation helps consumers make informed choices about product care and longevity.
