Last Year when I took them to shimano to get restored the rep guy told me: to run them under hot water for about 5 mins because of how heavily corroded they get due to the salt water and how often the get soaked with salt water on my kayak.

I put my reels in the washing machine using a lot of fabric softener. It makes a lot of noise but the end result is one smooth and shiny reel(s).
Never had a problem with reel functionality and the Shimano service tech once told me my reels were a joy to service! |

I usually take my reels apart and clean/lube them after every trip - it only takes about 15-20 minutes.
It's like I have a new reel every time I go out.

Man you guys are way ahead of me. I never thought about putting them in the washer machine, but i have to find one without a glass/plastic window.

Geez
I have a idea how about sitting down at the bench and enjoying the experience of hand washing all the reel parts in hot soapy water then hand drying then inspecting and lubing and rebuilding each reel, that's all part of the joy of fishing. The dishwasher thing is like shooting a deer with no desire to properly clean and dress the kill.
