Dangit, I just had a 'Mommy, how much do you love me?' moment....

[MiniMandaRuth]

I ran out of dishwasher soap and put regular dish soap in the dishwasher.

Lots and lots of bubbles.

Fuck.

2. Try adding baking soda

Get as much soap out of there as possible, and just keep cleaning up the bubbles. The baking soda should minimize suds a bit, at least it worked for me when I made that same mistake years ago. Run the dishes through another cycle, too. There there...It'll be okay. :hug:

[MiniMandaRuth]

4. Huh. I'll try that right now...

[cally]

5. I think everyone has to try this once

Some of us have tried it a few times. ;-)

[MiniMandaRuth]

6. Huh huh....

I just told some friends about it...

Maybe no the best of ideas, but it's a good summer memory!!! :D

Suds in the Dishwasher- What to do...

If someone accidentally puts hand dishwashing liquid in the automatic dishwasher, the result is a tubful of suds which seem hard to get rid of. Fortunately, there are a few techniques which work well.

Sprinkle ordinary table salt liberally across the suds to disperse them. Add a large quantity of ice cubes from your freezer to the tub. This causes the water temp to lower, thus degrading some more of the suds. Try to drain the unit as much as possible, soaking up any residual water or suds with a dry towel. Let the unit fill again, and repeat the salt and ice if necessary.


You can also use a commercial spa defoamer, which is found at Home Depot or any pool supply store. This works as a surfactant to break down the bubbles almost instantly. (Only squirt a few drops in and run the unit)

A third method is to add a capful of Downy Liquid Fabric softener to the tub and let the unit run a few seconds before selecting the drain cycle. Downy will break up the suds and allow them to drain off.

13. Geeze, what silly nonsense. Just wet vac it. Bubbles be gone in minutes.

Stick the hose in the bottom of the dishwasher until all gone, then wash with the right soap.

[MiniMandaRuth]

10. I fixed it!

Yay!

[LynzM]

11. Yay!

I did that once, too... suds growing out of the dishwasher and across the kitchen floor! :rofl:

12. My daughter did that a few weeks ago.

It was too funny to get mad over. The bubbles taught her more than I ever could! Hope you had a wet vac!

14. The only thing worse

is bubble bath in the Jacuzzi.
