Hotpoint Dishwasher Grey Cutlery BasketC00260860

What can you put in a cutlery basket?

The cutlery basket in a dishwasher serves as a designated space for users to organise and safely clean their kitchen tools and small appliances. It holds items like forks, knives, spoons, serving spoons, tongs, ladles, whisks, and spatulas. 

With its compartments or slots, the cutlery basket secures these utensils during the cleaning process, preventing them from moving, clattering, or tangling. 

Why does it get damaged?

Dishwasher heat causes the cutlery basket to deteriorate over time and make it more prone to damage. The basket may become damaged or discoloured if it is exposed to the strong chemicals in dishwasher detergents. 

The construction of the basket may be put under too much stress when it's packed down with too many heavy or bulky goods and has warps, bends, or breakage.
