Hi All, anyone ever try the dishwasher to clean clad? If you have , can you share your technique ? There's gotta be a way to clean the clad in the D/W.
 
Not a good idea.
There's a reason people wear gloves detecting.
Washing machine, maybe.
Definitely not a dishwasher unless you won't use it on dishes again :lol:

A tumbler from Harbor Freight is the preferred method.
A cheap option is a plastic bottle with aquarium gravel rolling around in your trunk.
 
Not a bad idea, you’d just have to figure a contraption to hold the coins so the cleaning is somewhat even around all the coins. I use to buy cheap used dishwashers and use them in my garage as a parts washer for my car projects. Its amazing to put a set of aluminum heads in a dish washer, set it to pot scrubber mode and watch them come out looking mint. They work awesome as a car parts washers, so they should do “OK” for coins. I think tumbling is still going to be your best bet, but I like the idea.

Broken glass, sharp objects.

Agreed! Sort of like using your oven to powder coat some car parts. Then go bake a pizza:lol:
 
All it would do is wash them. How hard is it to put them in a can with some water and dish liquid and swish them around and rinse ? I wouldnt want all that crud in my dishwasher. Either way you are gonna have to take cleaning to the next level afterwards to finish most of them , with vinegar or a tumbler.
 
i put mine in a small plastic bucket under the washer discharge hose. before i start another load i dump out most of the water and shake them around the bucket. they get clean enough to go through the coin machine at the bank.

Dish washers have heater coils in them that heat the water to "sanitize" as well as clean. None of these bacteria would survive 150+ degree water or the drying cycle if you used one. I sterilize instrumentation for surgery for a living and we use industrial "dish" washers that sanitize much more deadly bacteria than what you have posted. Once those instruments come out the other side, you can safely handle them with bare hands.

Other than having silt in the bottom of your washer after your done, it would be completely safe to wash your dishes in afterwards. I just wouldn't use it to clean coins while I wash dishes, unless you like dirt with your next meal.

Also, the dirt would act as an abrasive and probably wear out your pump.
