I ran out of regular dishwasher gel/tabs, so I used dishwashing detergent in place of it. Now I'm not a complete idiot, and know that it's not the same thing. But I figured using just a little wouldn't be too bad, and wouldn't make a lot of suds to make a mess. I didn't use more than a teaspoon full. Geez - was that a mistake!
I had suds running out of the dishwasher all over the place! I had to run the dishwasher through six rinsing cycles to dispose of all the suds - and in between the cycles I had to stop & restart each one in order to clean up the suds that were gushing out of the machine. I guess I've earned the dunce of the week award this time around..
Well, at least I have a clean floor now, and sqeaky-clean dishes!
