Well thanks for all the insight. I decided to just use soapy water and my wifes toothbrush to clean the reels. They cleaned up real good. I'm going to use Penn oil on them.

Remember when...
Remember when loading the dishwasher meant getting your wife drunk during dinner.
I used the dishwasher once to help get the cosmoline out of a newly acquired Garand stock.
She was not pleased... I've only did it once.
Note: Don't try using her oven to bake/cure a new finish on gun parts... Apparently that is frowned on too.fishgeek likes this.Ragnar Benson:

I would think the detergent and hot water might dissolve and remove some or maybe all of the lubricant in your reel. I have cheap equipment so I have to take care of it. I always rinse my reels after a day of fishing to remove any salt residue and let them dry completely. Then I spray them down with Reel Magic til I come down for another weeks fishing. I do this with my bass reels as well. I have some 30 year old Abu Garcia reels that are good as new.

I just take my rods reels into the shower with a soft brush & a small bucket of soapy water.
Hose them off with warm water, lightly brush them from rod tip to butt and then hose off the suds.Carl

Chili, you and I may be twins, separated at birth. I too have felt the consequences of turning the kitchen into a gunsmithy.

WD-40 is bad news on reels man, use Penn reel cleaner
I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.
