I've read of water inside the handle of cleaning brushes creating a bacterial hazard. Does water leak from it after washing it in the dishwasher?

I clean mine on the top shelf of the dish washer and never had this problem.

I DON'T wash this brush in the dishwasher, and I DO let it air dry completely before putting it away.

I've never put it in a dishwasher. I figure spinning water out of salad, it's pretty safe just to rinse and wipe off.

No because its a knife,you should clean immediately after usage and never put a good blade in a dishwasher.

I rinse mine out thoroughly with the dishrag and a dab of dish soap. I do not dip it in the water or the dishwasher.

There is an icon on the box that indicates that they are dishwasher safe. I have put mine in the dishwasher many times, however, you have to be careful to angle the ends of the handles down below horizontal, otherwise water gathers in the cavity leading to the screw that holds the handles on, and takes awhile to drip out. I once put a pan on the stove whose handle still had water in it (I guess farther in below the screw), and it was literally acting like a teapot - steaming out the handle and whistling softly.

Certainly you could, though I've never tried it. Frequent dishwashing would probably damage it. But spraying the inside using hot water with your hose sprayer and cleaning the surface with your preferred cleaner works just as well. Dish washing would also necessitate reapplying the vaseline to the suction cups, which is the key trick to keeping them stuck to the sink. There is a removable tray for the sponge that is most certainly safe to wash in the dishwasher time and time again.

I haven't tried, but I'd have to say "probably." I get mine wet all over when I rinse it off, and it's never caused any problems. There is no exposed electrical connection on the brush handle.

Unfortunately, we bought ours a year ago (December 2012) and I made sure to carefully keep it from the dishwasher or being soaked for washing. However, I went to the ER the morning after Christmas this year, and two days later after coming home I find that someone helpfully washed the ricer...and got water in the handle. Will probably have to drill some holes for drainage now. If you do get one, do your best to avoid any prolonged immersion or use in a dishwasher. Hope this helps.

Although there is nothing that confirms or denies the ability to use it in a dishwasher, I would not put it in the dishwasher. Regular dish brush and water will clean it in 5 seconds.

I've had no problem with the handle, or with the entire brush. Will order another one I need the next one.

I pretty much exclusively wash both of mine in the dishwasher and have had no problems :)

The string is totally enclosed on the inside. No need to worry about the string coming in contact with the food. I don't wash mine in the dishwasher. My dishwasher has ex tremble hot water. This can cause the blades to tempered and go dull. Also the dishwasher would saturate the string with water and since it is enclosed the water would stay in the housing and eventually create bacteria. It is very simple to just rinse the container and wipe of the top piece with the string with a sponge.

I haven't washed it, yet, but, when I do, I plan to fill the sink or a bowl with sudsy Woolite and swish it around in it, then rinse it. I would guess that soaking it would ruin the wood finish. BTW, I love this brush!!

I wouldn't recommend it. It's a great cup but not super sturdy so I would bet that washing it in the dishwasher will limit its lifespan. I bought a bottle brush and it works great to clean it.

no, I rinse all the time, I haven't put it in dishwasher. I dry after rinsing. I love it!!!There's so much room for lots of my utensils.

Best you can do is rinse it right away after a pitcher is finished and it comes very clean in the dishwasher if you have one. No bottle brush I found can get into the handle, I can't stand the design of it for that reason. I also put a drop of dish soap, few inches of water, cap on and shake hard.

We clean ours with a non abrasive sponge cleaner that holds soap. The scrubbing brushes that hold soap in the handle work fine.
