There
is the slightest chance that I may have got this wrong !
I’m talking dishwashers, and I’m not referring to the poor sods earning minimum wage in the back of the Greasy Spoon cafĂ© whom we all rely upon to receive sanitary food, but about the actual appliance.
I enjoy cooking and eating a meal and then afterwards the absolute convenience of dumping all the dirty stuff, the pots, pans and plates etc into the machine whilst I retire to the comfy chair with a nice glass of wine and wait for said dirty stuff to become clean & dry. Ergo, the dishwasher is one of my favourite kitchen appliances, running a close second only to the microwave, which incredibly lets me get stuff from frozen to hot without having to really cook anything. Now that really is what I call convenient.
However,
there comes a time when the actual cleaning machine is in need of a clean
itself and today was that day. “Simples” I thought, as I proceeded to unblock
the filters and then spay the inside with a “Multi-Action cleaner” that proudly boasted
that it “Cuts Grease & Soapy Scum and Kills 99.9% of Bacteria”. I then
Loaded the dishes, inserted a dishwasher tablet (plus a second one for good
measure) and set the machine going, starting with the Pre-rinse cycle obviously
as it needed to rinse the “Multi-Action
Cleaner” away before it actually washed the dishes.
However,
my plan, as you may have deduced, was a bit like skiing uphill, it just doesn’t
work no matter how hard you try…
So, two rinses and a full wash cycle later I
still have a major superfluity of Suds.
