Dave do you use high efficiency detergent or regular?

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.

It's a shame when great sarcasm goes un noticed

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.

I just leave all my gear in the back of my truck and go that car wash. I ask for the deluxe and the wax. Last time the guy even used the clay bar on my 2 speed, its way faster now. just be sure to tip at least 63.258%
