I bought this brand locally, and in the dishwasher, all of the markings have washed off. It's totally useless now. Has this happened to anyone else?

The same thing happened to both my mother & sister in Law. All brands of glass measuring cups markings will deteriorate in the dishwasher. I only hand wash mine.

I put mine in the dishwasher all the time and mine has never discolored. I would contact the manufacturer.

I haven't used it yet so I have not washed it in the dishwasher yet. Sorry I couldn't help.

Mine most certainly did NOT make it through the dishwasher. The bowl was basically ruined. The scale still works fine though.

I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. I usually hand wash mine, but have run it through the dishwasher twice and the black is peeling off. I've only had it a couple months, so this is disappointing.

I am sorry to hear this Jacquelyn H. I have only hand washed my "Morning Mug." I didn't want to chance the heat from a Dishwashing unit to damage the mug. I would see about getting a "Refund" for the mug, Especially if it said it was dishwasher safe. I hope things work out for you on this matter.

I had the same problem. I bought this item thinking it's Made in the USA and won't have any problems with it. The thing got rusty after ONE wash. I only use normal dish soap, wipe area where my cloth can reach and then hang it dry on the dish rack. How do you guys take care of yours? Shall I just spray it with WD40? Not worth sending it back since I'm not in the US.

I have only wiped mine clean with warm water and alcohol (as recommended by B Toys at http://www.mybtoys.com/faq/#how-should-i-clean-and-help-preserve-my-b-toys) You might want to contact them about the dishwasher.

I threw away the one cup measure before a year was up because all the markings came off. The others still have theirs. They are put in the dishwasher.

Definitely a sign of it being in a dishwasher I personally experienced the separation after washing it in a dishwasher. They can't take the heat.

I just thoroughly cleaned them with my usual household all purpose cleaner then rinsed off the counter two or three times to make sure I got any and all residue off, then let it thoroughly dry. I don't believe I ever used anything abrasive or sanded first. I am not having any chipping problems. I just followed the directions in the kit. I had mauve/rose colored formica counters that were really "fugly"! Looks a lot better now and I'd never done anything like this before! They came out great and they're hold up great. I'm careful not to cut anything on them or put anything hot on them and I wipe up with my dish cloth when I'm done doing dishes or just plain water.

If you put them in the dishwasher ,it ruins the inside finish. Any way that's what the instructions said. Hope this is helpful.

Hello. I had this cleaned in the dishwasher many times. Eventually, the gray part begins to fall off.

I have not had this problem. Although it says that it is dishwasher safe I hand wash mine just to be on the safe side. Not sure if that helps at all. I would contact the company though.

I have never put mine in the dishwasher but use a paste of Comet cleanser to wash it. It works great! I don't know what you could do to restore it but maybe trying the Comet may help. Good luck!!

We just bought ours and washed it for first time tonight. Before packing her first lunch, we noticed the black smudges, mostly in grooves and near edges though also some on flatter portions of the pieces. After scrubbing and scraping, it mostly is coming off. It looks like something burned or remnants from manufacturing (since ours is brand new). I emailed the company for information; we'll see if they replace.
