Oh what a mess!

[Nymph]

I have just spent te last hour cleaning my dishwasher.

My 13 yr old son was going to start it for me, so I explained to him what to do, where the soap was, and how much to put in. Unfortunatley, he didn't pay attention.....

About 5 minutes after he started it, me & my daughter came back into the house to find a floor full of bubbles coming from the dishwasher...thank goodness we caught it when we did, or I'm sure it would have been all over the kitchen. My poor hardwood floors!

I had to use 2 beach towels to clean up the bubbles from the floor. Then I had to unload all the dishes and rinse them off. Clean out the remainder of the dish soap, clear out all the bubbles, and wipe everything down inside. I then ran a rinse only cycle with a little bit of fab softener (it cuts bubbles), run another rinse only cycle to clear all the fab softener out. Reload the dishwasher, then was able to finally run a normal load.

Needless to say, after that mess...it's lunchmeat sandwiches for dinner tonight!
