Using dishwasher to clean suction cups

[proudNMAmember]

I have found that using the dishwasher to clean suction cups works quite well. I put them in the silverware drawer and it works great as long as you take out the suction cups before the drying cycle.

very few people know when their dw goes into drying mode.. let alone care

The best I've found is if you're in a hurry just drop them in a cup of the hottest water possible. If you have a few minutes - boiling water - drop them to the bottom count to 3 and pull it out.

Good idea though nma.

or you can go by hobby lobby; spend $3 and get a half dozen suction cups that are better than any cups you get OE with any radar detector i've seen...

I need to get some new suction cups for my Spectre let alone a new window mount. Why the older style Spectres had a 3 suction cup mount as compared to the newer Spectres w/ a 4 suction cup mount I have no idea.

i ran my v1 suction cups under hot water for a couple seconds and they were good as new

Yeah it's not like you are going to get your dishes dirty or anything by doing this. A while back, I threw in some V1,BelEscort,and Whistler suction cups. As long as they are still somewhat clear, then it's worth cleaning them.
