Why
The pitcher body is made of plastic (often BPA-free) that can warp or degrade in high heat, and the filter contains activated carbon that can be damaged by dishwasher detergents and heat. Manufacturer guidance typically recommends hand washing the pitcher and filter to extend product life.
How do you wash Brita Water Filter Pitcher?
Hand wash the pitcher and lid with mild soap and warm water; rinse the filter under cold water monthly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or place the filter in the dishwasher.
