CareBear Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Usually I either stick my soaping stuff in the dishwasher and run it that night, or let the bowls and all sit overnight and wash it by hand.Made soap last night and stuck the bowls in the dishwasher but forgot to run it. Ran it late this afternoon - apparently I didn't scrape out enough of the residue... FOAM OOZING OUT EVERYWHERE. At least I know that batch will lather nicely LOL.

Last night I put my soap bucket with my SB end and my whisk in the kitchen sink to let set after I forgot to do it the night before! After I woke this morning, I started to run hot water in the bucket I had let sit overnight and gots lots of bubbles all over the bottom of the sink. I can just imagine what a dishwasher would look like!:tiptoe: :tiptoe: Thanks for the "tip"!Paul.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Girl Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I did that with liquid soap a few weeks ago... what a mess. I poured 1/2 cup of vinegar into the dishwasher to kill the suds and mopped up the floor.Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Didn't know that about the vinegar (not that I will EVER need to do it again LOL)I feel better that I'm not alone!(and my dishwasher smells like Biscotti) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Did you have other dishes in there with it? Did they come clean? LOL Just wondering. At least the biscotti smell is probably good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Didn't know that about the vinegar (not that I will EVER need to do it again LOL)I feel better that I'm not alone!(and my dishwasher smells like Biscotti)Run the dishwasher thru a light cycle (NOT the cycle with the pre-rinse) with a couple cups of orange juice. That should take care of the smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooniper Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I think it is Care Bear that has a green dishwasher anyway??? I recently turned mine a lovely terra cotta color and it is still discolored! I have ran bleach through it a couple of times! I have had bubbles poof out of the dishwasher several times and just utilize it on my floors! I really have just stopped putting the soap dishes in the dishwasher alltogether.By the way, the soap I am referring to that turned my dishwasher pinkish also turned my friends tub a lovely pink. Thank God it cleaned up! Any suggestions on that? Did I just use way too much red oxide? These brilliant colored soaps I see on this board....do they also make funky colored bubbles?

Ann M Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I had always heard that using citric acid would clean the dishwasher. Here is some info on how to do it.Fill your dishwasher soap cup with Citric Acid Powder. Citric acid powder is used in canning and for aromatherapy, it may be a bit hard to find but will last awhile. Run your dishwasher empty on the regular cycle and when it is done your dishwasher will be fresh smelling and sparkling!Ann M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks. I have citric acid for those bath bombs I've been meaning to make (LOL) - I often use the calgon plastic boost for the dishwasher if I'm runing a load with greasy soap pots - really helps keep the greasies from building up.
