Hi McAnne, I am surprised by all the cautious tips you have received!!!

I put absolutely everything through my dishwasher except posh saucepans and cut glass. The filter needs cleaning and salt and rinsaid need topping up regularly. I also run a cleaner every few weeks.

Cheap glasses do go cloudy but they're cheap! Ditto wooden spoons.

I have done toilet brushes and dog bowls with great success - on a separate cycle and with dishwasher cleaner afterwards.

Oh yes, and all the oven shelves, too.

I have also followed the cliche - cooking a whole salmon wrapped in tin foil in the dishwasher on a low temperature wash! Tasted lovely!

What?? toilet brush ? tell me you're kidding!! would she wash dishes and brush together in the sink lol

You can also put grids from oven and cooker hobs in dishwasher,if they get really bad!

No 'best crystal' either Anne!

btw.How's your hands now?

I know a lady, I could say she is a friend of mine but after what I am going to tell you, you may not want to talk to me again so I will stick with telling you that I just know her.

Well she has the most sweaty feet so she puts her flip flops in the dishwasher, says they come out clean as a whistle.

The worst thing she puts in though is er, (gulps hard), her toilet brush, she swears it comes out all clean and as the temperature is so high it kills all the germs.
Never had a coffee there since I was told this, lol

Hiya Anita,


Filter getting bunged up is biggest prob, and making sure its stacked properly,

Ive only had one for 2 years,

Remember to buy dishwasher salt as well as the tablets or you won't be able to use the thing.

Dont put tins in there
if you do then make sure you take them out as soon as the dishwasher has finished, coz they go rusty lol
also make sure you clean it with a cleaner once a month and clean the filters .
have fun :o))))

always put more fragile things on the top layer - plastic items

Don't forget to turn the switch on at the plug ;-)


Personally, I'd prefer a dishwasher that could supply other errr......services ;-)

don't put cut glass in them - it goes all cloudy!!!

DISHWASHERS ARE EASY HUN

JUST REMEMBER TO SCRAPE YOUR PLATES


AS THE FILTER WILL GET BUNGED UP

.



For dishwashers - finally drawing near to having my £49 ebay bargain plumbed in (all part of kitchen refit) - but i've never had a dishwasher before, so i'm a bit of a novice with regards to using them lol

Idiots guide of do's and dont's please :O))
