spülmaschinenfesten

Spülmaschinenfesten is a German adjective that translates to "dishwasher-safe" in English. It indicates that an item can be safely cleaned in a domestic dishwasher without sustaining damage. This designation is commonly found on kitchenware, tableware, and other household items.

When an item is labeled as spülmaschinenfesten, it means it has been tested and determined to withstand the heat, detergents, and mechanical action typically encountered during a dishwasher cycle. This includes resistance to warping, discoloration, cracking, or degradation of its material or finish. Materials such as certain types of plastic, stainless steel, glass, and glazed ceramics are often designed to be spülmaschinenfesten.

The term provides consumers with a clear indication that an item is easy to maintain and can be cleaned conveniently. It eliminates the need for handwashing for such items, saving time and effort. However, it is important to note that even spülmaschinenfesten items can sometimes benefit from occasional handwashing to remove stubborn residues or to maintain their appearance over a longer period, depending on the specific material and manufacturer's recommendations.
