I have several stainless steel utensils and appliances, so when I put them through the dishwasher some of them are rusting, I think its because my current dishwashing soap is harsh, what is some great dishwashing soap that will clean my dishes and not be so hard on my stainless steel appliances and utensils?
Sorry to tell you this, but it is the quality of the stainless steel utensils. I had the same problem in the past. It pays to spend a little more when you plan to wash your silverware in the dishwasher. I did and I am very happy with the new silverware. I never changed my detergent, just a better quality silverware.
stainless steel does not work in a dish washer.Warm soapy water and dry straight away, they will last forever.
Jan is correct. You need to have some nickel in the stainless steel to prevent rusting, like 18/10 which has 10% nickel alloy in the steel.
Stainless steel that has screws almost always rusts in the dishwasher. Also semi-complicated stainless steel utensils rust in the dishwasher...things like an egg whisker. This is true no matter what detergent you use. Dishwasher detergent almost always contains bleach. That causes stainless to rust if it has nooks and crannies. The solution? Hand wash them and let them air dry. The only stainless steel I run through the dishwasher is table flatware (knives, spoons, and forks.) You'll get a much longer life out of your utensils if you hand wash them and just let them air dry.
