Aluminum utensils can get a tint due to warm water and their finish can get fade if you extensively use strong detergents and wash them in the dishwasher. Even if the fading stainless steel coating down not bother, still you should not put them in the dishwasher as they can damage other dishes and utensils. Having said that, there are also some stainless steel articles that manufacturers specify to be compatible with dishwashers.

Wooden article like a wooden chopping board and utensils with wooden handles should not be washed in the dishwasher. The finishing of wooden articles can get damaged in the dishwasher and at its worst wood can get cracks.
