This is important because it will help them last longer and stop any damages from happening which can cost quite a lot to repair. It’s important to clean bakeware after every use, but ensure it cools down fully before sticking it in the dishwasher. If your bakeware has non-stick properties, it makes it really easy to clean up afterward too. Just make sure you don't accidentally scrape away all of the coatings or get any scratches on your pans. Lastly, remember to grease pans before use, or use baking parchment, particularly on pans without a non-stick coating, as this will stop foods from sticking too.
