........Put regular hand washing dish soap into the dishwasher.
Yes you can see where I am going here. The inside door of the dishwasher was grubby....how that can be is another story...anyhow so I squirted it with Dawn and started to clean. Duh, I thought, why not just put the dishwasher on rinse....that'll clean it while I go clean somehting else.
So I did and proceeded to go clean the bathrooms. Then came into the workroom.
Half hour later I decided I was hungry...it was 3pm ish and I hadn't eaten anything yet so I tootle off into the kitchen to make some breakfast / lunch.
Oh my....did you ever see that Doris Day movie where she dropped soap suds into the swimming pool...well the kitchen looked just like that.
So I had to mop the floor....again.
The dishwasher appears to be pretty clean now....of course I still can't see the bottom of it as it is covered in suds lol.

poor you, And you where thinking to save time?
ReplyDeleteI hope the soap did not give staines in your kitchen.
Next time put some white vinegar in the Jet Dry hole thing on the dishwasher, add a bit of regular washer soap in it's dispenser, and run it on a short cycle. In fact depending on the mineral content of your water, toss some more vinegar into the dishwasher itself. That's what we have to do here.
ReplyDeleteO jee, you can wash your machine with a little vinegar, it kils the suds and is also good if you have any lime-attack (scale)??
ReplyDeleteHope you have no damage on your kitchen.

Well I was laughing myself.....until maybe 10 minutes ago...when I had to mop my floor AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteI bought a jar of Folgers coffee and the lid didn't fit properly....so yes....you can imagine what happened.
Thanks for the vinegar tips...I didn't know that. Will come in useful in case I decide to do something as stupid as this again :-)
This happened to me and my Mom a long time ago when we had mistakenly put some regular liquid soap in the dishwasher ... :S
ReplyDeleteFun...huh :-)
