It’s mostly the heat. A dishwasher can wash your dishes at temperatures reaching 70° which your hands could never sustain. As it stands, some materials and decorations – also. But if you instead choose to use a more gentle program that does the job at 40-50 degrees, many utensils will survive inside just fine. Attempt at your own risk. I do that only with things I don’t care about that much.
