I saw an ad of theirs on TV the other night.....for washing machines.....I did a double-take when I heard the name. I knew they made other products, but I'd never seen a TV commercial for them.

I saw one tonight for the drawer type dishwasher. That's what made me do the google search for them.

From the subject line, I thought this was going to be about washing the masks in the dishwasher!

My parents have one of the F&P drawer dishwashers and absolutely hate it--they're looking to replace it now with a regular one.

Well at least you're likely to get a good seal with one of these, unlike the F&P 432 that's in the bottom of my mask drawer.

I, too, thought the post was going to be about washing masks in the dishwasher even though I've seen the F&P ad.
I asked the resp. therapist about this during an initial visit and she acted like she'd never heard the question before. Couldn't tell me what would happen if I tried and insisted that a bucket with soap and water would be fine. I still think the dishwasher would be better and easier.
Has anyone ever put a mask/seal thru the dishwasher before?

Due to the force of the jets in the dishwasher and the very hot water, I bet you can deform or otherwise damage a mask in just one washing.

I've wondered about the dishwasher and my mask after reading the mask fitting instructions that say to BOIL the mask to fit it to your head...

It would most definitely be concerning if the instructions were to BOIL your head to fit the mask
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

I've got one of their washing machines - it's actually pretty darned good.
