Well, GFY Jillee

Well.  I am going to show you more dirty little secrets about myself.  I noticed how filthy my dishwasher was.  Seriously fucking gross.  I don't know how shit gets so gross and then all of the sudden, it's like Holy Shit, it's like I'm in an episode of hoarders or the British How Clean is your House? 
Okay, clearly I watch possibly THE worst tv ever. 



 Yeah, so the photos don't show how truly gross it is.  There is this weird greasy orangy brown film over the entire inside of the dishwasher.  When I rubbed it with my finger it balled up, like greasy greasy filth.

  So I did what any good American housewife of the beginning of the 21st century does.  I turned to Pinterest.  When I searched for dishwasher cleaner, I got this post by Jillee.  Her blog is One Good Thing by Jillee.  Here is a link to her post...

Please note - she has no disgusting before pictures.  Here is her one picture of a before.
Um, Jillee, you really think the state of that dishwasher necessitates an exclamation point?  Come on!  It's gleaming white.  She ends up pulling an old melted plastic cup out of the bottom and then cleans it the dishwasher by running it with a cup of vinegar and then again with some baking soda.

I tried this hoping that it would magically make the inside of my dishwasher be approximately white again. 
BTW, let me have a bit of a rant about the time involved in this.  My dishwasher is always either full or well on it's way to being full and sometimes it's full and running with another load waiting in the sink.  I needed to run it empty not once, but two times.  Seriously!   This was trying. 

So here is the results...Please pay close attention to the left hand wall in this pic.  STILL FUCKING GROSS!


BTW, let me make a confession to being OCD at times.  You can see that the lower half of the left wall is pretty darn clean.  Let me share why!  I got caught up in a fit of making my dishwasher totally, perfectly clean and busted out the comet.  I came to my senses about 10 minutes later and thought, GFY Jillee and other pinners.  I need strong drinks if I'm fucking cometing the inside of my dishwasher, which by the way, let me show you the outside....
Yes.  The handle is completely broken off.  When the outside looks like this, I don't know why I give a shit about the inside either.

  1. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've tried every suggestion I could find and nothing got rid of the red tint inside my dishwasher. I figure it fills with hot water and soap on a regular basis so whatever dirt is in there can't be that bad.

  2. The finish dishwasher cleaner does a decent job - but after this, I'm seriously over it!
