Why won't my dishwasher clean porage off a wooden spoon?

^^As above ^^
It doesn't matter if I lay it flat, or stand it up in the cutlery basket, I always end up using a bristly brush to clean it properly..

It’s telling you you shouldn’t put wooden items into the dishwasher.

It's such hard work cleaning it off a wooden spoon by hand, I'd be surprised if any dishwasher could manage it.

Porridge flour acts like a glue doesn't it, the action of hot water and detergent alone has little effect on some glue-like foodstuffs especially once they're starting to dry. Soak it in water for a while immediately, and scrub it off, it's the only way unfortunately.
See also egg yolk, that'll stay on your forks in the dishwasher.

Oh and cleaning out peanut butter jars for recycling is a massive pain in the 'arris too. Bloody oily nasty stuff that soap won't shift.

You're supposed to remove food residue before sticking things in the dishwasher.

Have you asked him?

My butler hand washes my stuff before it goes in the dishwasher.

Arrrrggggggghhhh! Dont put wood in a dishwasher. Porridge is best stirred with a spurtle, which is round and doesnt allow the oats to stick to it. Have you so little time in your life you can't run it under the tap?

How is Fenton with his new position.

You could build skyscrapers our of dried on porridge, so why do you think it will come off a spoon 👅

I might just get a spurtle. They look cool 😎

He was complaining that it's hard on the knees, but after a good birching his attitude improved.

From what I've seen of dishwashers they inly properly wash relatively clean items. Burnt on curry pans etc won't be cleaned. However they also ruin any good items such as copper or iron pans, or decent knives

Just use the wooden spoon the other way round.
