Word of warning for those eating: there’s a shot of some dirty dishwasher water at 10:35

Damn, I was really hoping he’d have something I hadn’t tried. Most of these are just “how to use a dishwasher” stuff I learned as a kid. And my dishes still don’t get clean.

I use the lemishine shit in every wash, because I have very hard water, and frankly it’s still not enough with all the other tricks to actually clean my dishes if they aren’t already kinda clean…

The big downside of running acid through your dishwasher is that it will strip paint off stuff with continued use. Lost a bunch of kiln-fired printed glassware this way. Don’t recommend.

I do have a whole house polyphosphate water softener I need to install, which I’m hoping will help, but my city is doing work on the water mains, so I’m holding off until that’s done.

I thought he was recommending that stuff as an occasional cleaner for the dishwasher, not as using it in every wash?

He may have been, but they have several products and what he was showing is the detergent booster, I believe (linked below), and not the machine cleaner which is used periodically (which is just a stronger form of it that you run without dishes in, and comes in little packets - great for cleaning hard water marks from toilets!)

I actually just looked at the new packaging, and it does say to avoid painted things. It definitely didn’t used to.

He did point out dishes should be loaded with the dirty side towards the center. I’d always thrown everything in facing the same direction and my dishwasher handles it fine, but his way makes sense.

Which manufacture paid for this?

Sir, this is Technology Connections. He does not need to be bribed to make a 2 hour video about dishwashers. It comes from the heart, and we love him for it.
