Why
Most bottle openers are made of stainless steel or zinc alloy, which can withstand dishwasher heat. However, many have painted, coated, or printed designs that may fade or peel in the dishwasher. Additionally, moving parts like hinges may rust or degrade over time with repeated dishwasher exposure.
How do you wash Bottle Opener?
Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately to prevent water spots and rust. If dishwasher is used, place on the top rack and avoid high heat drying.
