How To Clean A Snorkel Mask In A Dishwasher

Wondering how you can clean your snorkel mask using a dishwasher?

Yes, you can clean a dirty snorkel mask in a dishwasher as long as you avoid the "Heated-dry" function.

Moving on, in this guide you will learn how to clean your snorkel mask with a dishwasher.


How To Clean A Snorkel Mask With A Dishwasher

Since most snorkel masks are made with silicone material which is heat resistant, they can endure certain heat conditions so they can be dish-washed.

To clean a snorkel mask with a dishwasher, you will need to do this at low temperatures to avoid damaging the plastic parts of the mask.

Also, the mask should be placed on the top rack, and if you want you can wash your dishes together to minimize water wastage.

The dishwasher must be set to "Normal wash" and the "Heated-dry" function should be avoided completely, so try to open the door before that starts.

However, if you are not comfortable using a dishwasher, you can read this guide on how to clean a snorkel mask using a toothbrush and other home items.

And that is how you can clean your snorkel mask using a dishwasher.
