Why
Most corkscrews have moving parts, plastic handles, or coatings that can be damaged by high heat and harsh detergents. Dishwasher cycles can cause rust on carbon steel parts and degrade plastic or wooden handles.
How do you wash Corkscrew?
Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. For stainless steel models, check manufacturer instructions; if dishwasher safe, place in the utensil basket on the top rack.
