is it that bad…

[alecstilleyedye]

we had the in-laws around for tea, and afterwards my daughter mentioned that the cats' dish was in the dishwasher. the look on their faces was a picture, and although i should have explained about the cleaning process (even though they have their own dw), i think they thought we were mad.

what's the opinion here?

I wouldn't put a litter tray in there but a dish? No problem.

Can't see the problem myself, the food they eat is supposed to be fit for human consumption anyway so why not wash the dishes with yours!

is it wrong to run the loo brush through the dishwasher then? :?

yes, and yes.

Of course it's ok but I had to think about that. I, illogically, probably wouldn't do it myself though.

Can't see the problem. If you don't think the dishwasher can't make it clean and sterile then your own food dishes aren't any better and you should get a better dishwasher.

Same here, it doesn't make sense, but I would probably only put it in if it was a whole dishwasher full of just cat dishes...

As I haven't got a dishwasher in the first place, I don't need to think about it!

Surely you mean wash it in the bath with you,

you can use it to clean your finger nails and scrub you back too

I would, out of choice, put the pet food dishes though a dishwasher any way as it will make it cleaner then a quick rinse and swish round with a used dish cloth.

I wouldn't wash the pet food dishes with the same dish cloth (or washing up bowl of water) as I would use on my own food dishes though.

But do wash it in the same bowl as the other dishes?

Your daughter is a LUNATIC! You're all going to DIE!

No I don't actually, the pet dishes get washed in the sink without use of a washing up bowl and rinsed with boiling water. The normal washing up goes in the washing up bowl.

No problem, whem growing up my old dear used to wash the dogs and cats food and water bowls in the same washing up water as the normal washing.
