Yesterday we were having family for Sunday lunch. I got everything ready, meat in the oven, veg cleaned and in pots before going out to muck out the stables. OH was fixing one of the doors so I mentioned we only had one dishwasher tablet left and would he get some on his way home from work tomorrow. His answer was why don't we just put washing up liquid in the machine. Gave him reasons for not doing this but you know what men are like, have to find out the hard way. I came in after doing all the outside chores to find him scoping soap suds of the floor. he had tried it and the mess took ages to clean up plus the dishwasher had to go through 3 programs empty. His answer, well it was worth a try !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah well, he won't do it again 

[Berkshire Boy]

Ah but his experimentation means the rest of us men don't have to try it. Typical man takes one for the team.

   If only me would listen

However, lets think of it positively , I bet in the mopping up process there are now areas that are sparkling that weren't on your to do list.

The battle of the sexes will never be won.........because there is too much fraternising with the enemy !

[Daisys Mum]

Ah well, he won't do it again 

Don't bet on it.....maybe a little less next time

[Clarebelle]

lol, my OH did EXACTLY this when we first got our dishwasher... *sigh*

 :roflanim:I would say its a design flaw with washing up liquid.  Someone ought to do something about it.

Any way Sabrina,  if you'd have finished the job properly, loaded the dishwasher and set it off before going out to play with your horses, this whole sad episode need not have occurred....your man could have stayed safely on the sofa with his feet up and the remote control in hand.

Tut tut.

Anyway must rush off, have set this afternoon aside for thinking about Christmas shopping,  I guess tomorrow I might actually have to make a start on it.

Bleach is one to try next time tell him........Jeys Fluid  makes stuff taste funny.

there is clear;y room to experiment here


we all know washing up liquid cleans dishes so clearly the dishwasher is faulty, maybe he should try some modifications so it works!!!

  Excellent.. if we are told it can't be done….

The best modification for washing up liquid is two hands and a brush :-)

[bloomer]

this is clearly faulty woman logic 


clearly the dishwasher needs remodelling with a suds extractor and washing up liquid froth control nozzle...


should only take a day or two for any competent tinkerer in reasonably equipped shed...


by the way the space where the oven is currently will be needed for the new improved dishwasher.....

  its worth a try, sounds as bad as my sister when she was staying here, she decided to have a hydro bath and put bubble bath into the water then switched the bubbles on after she got into the water 
Just lets say we had quite a bit of foam in the bathroom

I once read of a chap whose ex-wife stated "washing motorbike engine blocks in the dishwasher" as grounds for divorce!
