Who would have the idea of ​​washing china in the dishwasher? Of course, few people would guess to shove the expensive family porcelain into the bowels of the “home helper,” but people try to wash modern porcelain products, and they do this very often. The consequences of a machine wash, in some cases deplorable, but often users respond that they wash porcelain products without problems.

Antique porcelain dishes in the dishwasher can not be washed, this is unique.
