Earlier today while reading A PT post my wife came in the Great Room saying the dish washer was leaking. She had stopped the washer to get up all the water that had run on the hardwood we have in our kitchen.
I closed the door and turned on the washer and sure enough water came running out on the towel we had put down to soak up all the water that had already come out. I noticed that the water coming out and the water in the washer was soapy. After several opening/closing run cycles I noted the stuff running out was almost pure soap suds. It dawned on me that dishwasher soap does not foam.
I looked under the sink where the dishwasher soap is kept and found a different container and the actual dishwasher soap was there but had a plastic pitcher upsidedown on top. I ask my wife what she had put in the washer and her defensive responds,"what I always use dishwasher soap". I picked up the other container and ask her if she was sure she hadn't used this. Before she saw the label she said yes that's what I used.
I can tell you that you do not want to use Soft Scrub in your dishwasher. I had to dip out all the suds with a cup and then force it to run in rinse cycles 4 times to get all the soap.
My wife was disappointed because she could see a new washer on the horizon. She said she wanted a new quite efficient model. I told her we could just go to the ultra quite efficient washer like we had when I was a kid. That is hand wash and hand dry model. That's what my sister and I had to do every night. She washed and dried
When i told her that maybe it would be a good idea not to use Soft Scrub in the future,
her response was well maybe you need to take over dishwasher responsiblity. Then she
proceeded to tell me how clean the dishwasher was now. It is a no-win no-win when
dealing with wifes.
