Same. Dishwashers are fucking gross, physically and spiritually.

my ma loves her dishwasher 🙄
By chance, does she have IBS or some other bowel disfunction?
I have a dishwasher. I feel guilty now 😂
Well, do you or any one you wash dishes for have bowel problems? Dish washer detergents often leave a saponin residue or glaze on them, stuff to leave them sparkly shiny or crystal clear or whatever. Saponins cut fat and break surface tension of fluids, so they can damage the mucous membrane in your gut. This can cause all sorts of bowel problems like IBS. If anyone in your household deals with anything like that, try cutting out the dishwasher, or rinsing the dishes really good after they come out and see if the problems alleviate.
Yeah I’ve had gut problems all my life but we didn’t have a dishwasher when I was young.
Interesting though…there’s some good alternative ‘chemical free’ dishwasher detergents here I’ve been meaning to try.
pretty healthy old lady tbh
I am conflicted. Some meat bags are not thorough enough dish washers, which means the electric dish washer can be an improvement. However a detail oriented and/or well trained meat bag is always superior to an electric dish washer.
The word "dishwasher" is interesting when considering how to objectify the task. Are humans dishwashers or dish washers? A dishwasher is obviously a dishwasher though.
I am also now, conflicted 😂
‘Meat bags’ wtaf 😂😂😂
Ehh, it blasts very hot water on your dishes for an hour, there's nothing wrong with that. I use salt, baking soda, and citric acid in the dispenser.
Using harsh, toxic chemicals is no bueno tho
Its a box, it costs a lot of money, takes up space in your house. It wastes water, it gets mucky inside and you have to clean it every so often which of course you put off. It is a mechanical system that requires maintenance and repair. It encourages you to just set dishes in the sink for later rather than washing them as you use them. It takes away your attention to detail to your belongings, the tactile interaction you have with important things in your life. And then, of course, the detergents, not just what's in them but the consumerism of pods, pod commercials, thinking to yourself when you see an ad "hmm I should try those" lol just all round I don't like them. I know it's a weird thing to have such a strong opinion on.
Please tell me you have a washing machine though?
Well, i live in a little community right now and there's a laundromat. I used to do it in a bucket with a plunger hand washer thing, but that was when I was single. Works as good as a real washer if you're only washing a couple shirts and pants. Hand washing clothes for an entire family with kids is untenable.
I don't want a drier though, they use a lot of energy and damage your clothes. Gonna switch to clotheslines only soon, that's not too labor intensive and your clothes last longer.
