Can I use a dishwasher to clean non-dishware items like toys or shoes?

It is generally not recommended to clean non-dishware items like toys or shoes in a dishwasher. Dishwashers are specifically designed for cleaning dishes, cookware, and utensils. The high temperatures, water pressure, and detergent used in dishwashers may damage or warp non-dishware items. Additionally, some toys or shoes may contain materials that cannot withstand the heat or moisture of a dishwasher cycle. It is best to check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer or clean non-dishware items using appropriate methods.
