Is Tin Cups dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Tin cups are generally not recommended for the dishwasher.
Why
Tin is a soft metal that can react with dishwasher detergents and high heat, leading to tarnishing, corrosion, or discoloration. Many tin cups also have coatings or decorative finishes that may be damaged.
How to wash it
Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge, then dry immediately to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.
