NOT the dishwasher - the water is too hot. Clothes washer is OK (use the
"warm" setting) but be sure the bag your parts are in is STRONG. Believe me,
picking 1000 or so parts out of the washer after the bag has burst is no
fun, not to mention the pieces that get between the inner and outer drums
and make grinding noises, appearing one by one in your wash loads for the
next few weeks with weird scrape marks on them...
