Here's what I think, Alex--
An oil that is in lemon skins will react with some plastics, making the plastic permanently sticky and fogged. So don't put lemon peels in your dishwasher if you have anything plastic in there. In fact, if your dishwasher has any plastic parts, it is probably wise not to put lemon peels in it.
In general I think these lemon tips can only be money saving where lemons are very cheap or where they grow on trees in your yard. Here in the Midwest USA, lemons are not what I would call inexpensive.
