In a TikTok posted on Friday, TikToker @kkraaam shows a photo a of wooden circle with two small screws in it, or what remains of her salt lamp after washing it in the dishwasher.

“I thought I could wash my salt lamp in the dishwasher,” @kkraaam wrote in her video’s overlay text. “You can’t apparently!”

In a comment on her video, the TikToker clarified that she washed her salt lamp in the dishwasher because it was “super dirty” and then she figured putting it in the machine would be “faster than cleaning it [herself].”

“Do you often wash other lamps?” @xxaammyyaa wrote. “If so do you do it [with] the dishwasher?”
