Will StemGrip™ fit in my dishwasher?

StemGrip™ will fit in most residential dishwashers. The tines in your dishwasher must be vertical. The majority of dishwashers have vertical tines, albeit straight or bent. If your dishwasher tines are angled, as with the KitchenAide Superba, you would need to be able to bend the tine into a vertical position in order to use StemGrip™. This may/may not be feasible depending on the flexibility of your tines. See illustration on home page of picture with vertical tines.

What about stemware etching in the dishwasher?

In the past, there was concern about crystal glass etching which is fine damage to the surface of glassware that appears after multiple cycles in the dishwasher and cannot be removed. This occurs due to the alkalinity of most dishwasher detergents, which dissolve one or more of the constituents of the glass, leaving a microscopically pitted surface. There is now a solution to prevent etching. . .

Cascade Crystal Clear with ShineShield is a new rinse aid that is specifically formulated to prevent etching and permanent cloudiness on glassware and help keep it looking like new. The ShineShield technology is released in the final rinse cycle to neutralize the harsh elements in the dishwasher that cause corrosion, and then rinses away residues that can leave spots behind.

Will StemGrip™ withstand the high heat in my dishwasher?

StemGrip™ is made of polypropylene and Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR) which is made to withstand temperatures up to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. The spring is made of a 302 electro polished stainless steel and will not rust. Many kitchen accessories are made of polypropylene, such as cutting boards, kitchen utensil handles and some high end knife handles.

Is installing StemGrip easy and are there directions?

StemGrip™ is as Easy as 1-2-3
