Is Charger Plates dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Charger plates are often not dishwasher safe, but it depends on the material.
Why
Many charger plates are made of materials like metal, glass, or ceramic with decorative coatings (e.g., gold rim, painted designs) that can be damaged by high heat and harsh detergents in dishwashers. Even if labeled dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve appearance.
How to wash it
Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge, then dry immediately with a soft cloth to avoid water spots. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
