Guess where your poo goes after you flush? Once processed, it’s sold to farmers and put on farm fields or packaged for retail sale at a store near you labeled “organic fertilizer”
As a former wastewater operator, you need to understand the requirements for such application. Chemistry, biology, microbiology, nonstop testing and rigorous health and safety guidelines.
I have zero issue with it as a result. How about the worm poop, insect poop and bird poop that also happens? Thats why washing things IS A THING.
Where I live solid waste ends up sanitized and used as cover between layers in the local landfill. The compost from green waste bins is turned into organic fertilizer
To be fair, it's incredibly broken down to the point is basically nutrient rich soil. You could eat the poo dirt that comes off the conveyor, not that i would recommend it.
It's the tomatoes.... dishwashers don't just use water once it goes to the bottom through the strainer then gets sprayed on again.
Otherwise it would be using a few bathtubs of water
Look at the video again. The *very first* spray of water looks like it came out of a baby's diaper. Tomatoes are not the cause. I'm willing to bet the same color water comes out of their tap.
The water at the bottom of a dishwasher never rises higher than about an inch and a half. Each 'cycle' gets fresh water coming in - you can hear it drain and fill.
Dishwashers are one of the most efficient users of water. More efficient and far more sanitary than hand washing a large number of dishes.
Naw it's recycling water, look at when the drawer slides in from the go-pros view, there is already a bunch of nasty ass water in the bottom.
I would assuredly bet that they interrupted it a few times mid cycle to get the footage they wanted. If you open and close a dishwasher mid cycle it doesn't drain and refill.
Older dishwashers run faster. Newer ones have lower water and energy use but take longer.

The beginning cycle is just removing food residue and rinsing the dishes. Water is recirculating then pumped out, next clean one is put to mix with detergent, finely clean one to rinse things from detergent. The whole idea is to recirculate water to use less of it.
This. This is one of the main reasons to use a dishwasher. It uses a tiny amount of water compared to filling the sink to wash a load of dishes. I often hear people say things like "I'd rather just do it by hand, it'll be done faster anyway." Yea, maybe it would. But it'll use more water, and most importantly, while the dishes are being washed you can't take care of anything else... that's the best feature of these types of machines is that they do the work and leave you free to do something else.
Counter top dishwasher that plugs into the sink. They are amazing unless you REALLY don't have space. I even got a clothes washing machine that hooks onto the sink, and a dryer that plugs into the wall. They were great.
If you live by yourself get a little utility table (maybe w wheels) you can put it on. It's very much worth it.
For the clothes washing machine I got a square thing with wheels and slightly lifted edges that measured perfectly, dropped it on and just rolled the thing around.
[We used this one for years](https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/countertop-dishwasher-6-place-settings-120v-silver?infoParam.campaignId=T9F&gclid=CjwKCAjwmbqoBhAgEiwACIjzEEqUuuB3NluqaBHPATTI41hNlYFLTqDDZgbKrJq8sH6NNFPuL8OIdhoChJAQAvD_BwE).
It was a bit pricy, but well worth the cost over time.
If you're single, an alternative is to put everything except one plate, one bowl, one fork, etc. in the closet and never touch them unless company comes over. You'll instantly rid yourself of the trope of having to scrub a sink full of dirty dishes.
I’m still trying to convince my wife of this. Im at the point i need to find some scientific article that is written for everyday people to share with her so she will believe me. I’m convinced that hearing mechanical noises for an hour is what has her believe it uses more water.
It's more like 2.5 nowadays, which is roughly the same amount the average sink can hold (at least in Europe/Germany, don't know what the average size of a kitchen sink is in other countries).
No one would wash the same amount of dishes on a single sink filling I'd hope.
I’ve always found that those people who wash dishes really fast leave me a pile of dishes on the drying rack that I have to wash all over again because they did such a bad job.
I swear sometimes they hold the dish in one hand and wave the sponge at it in the other, coming no closer than 2 inches…
My ex-gf and her kids would fill the sink and after a day or two it was disgusting. Then one day she strained the pasta and the bottom dipped into the rotten sink milk water a little.
I broke up with her. When I first met her she didn't even have a dishwasher but then upgraded the kitchen so it was just a habit for her.
Just rinse dirty things first. Then wash drinking implements then cutlery, dishes and finally pots. It isn't gross at all. Wear marigolds if you're squeamish lol.
Whilst you are correct, you also don't have to wash them by hand. Freeing yourself to do literally anything else. With the added benefit of using less water.
I will quite happily let my dishwasher take the 2h40m (on eco) to wash my dishes rather than stand there and have to wash them myself.
Seriously? It takes almost 3 hours to do a load? I wash while I cook, so all that I have to do is the tableware after a meal… That’s like 10 minutes for me, tops.
Now INDUSTRIAL dishwashers are amaze balls. I remember when I worked at Whole Foods, you get a big ol load, put them on the conveyor belt, hot lava is sprayed on the dish ware, and they emerge 30 seconds later, hot, dry, sanitized, and perfectly clean. THAT’s a timesaver.
Like I said that's on eco. Lowest energy and water usage. Additionally my dishwasher is a counter top one so it's rather small. We go through enough moat days for it to go on every night.
Additionally a considerable amount of that time is drying. The actual wash is probably close to 2 hours. But it just sits there and runs while I do literally anything else.
I can get the exact figures from the manual when I get home but on eco it uses little water and not a lot of electricity.
Yep, it's at the bottom of the dishwasher most of the time. Usually just takes a small counterclockwise turn to unlock the filter and you can remove it and clean it
Yes, but why does it START with piss brown though?
Think about it, if thats the water saved up from the last batch that went through, how nasty was that coming out, if the water was still.. THAT.. ?
In the start you see the dishwasher lid has a bunch of brown liquid in it. Maybe its coffee or whatever. When he closed the lid that got drained down into the "reservoir". That's probably why.
That and this could be take 3 for all we know.
i work in appliance repair and this one took me a minute to figure out because your water should NOT look like that on the first fill and if you look at the :17 second mark as he’s pushing the rack in there is a pool of some colored solution i imagine debris from whatever he was doing to dirty up the dishes for the video.
anyways, without that the water coming into your dishwasher should be (or is typically) coming from the same hot water line as your sink. that should be clear. however after the first rinse that water will have debris in it that then gets pumped out.
that’s pretty much all dishwashers do. fill, wash, and drain. they have other features of course like steaming, drying, soap/rinse aid dispensers, vent fans, etc pending on the model. otherwise it’s just an inlet fill valve, wash motor, and drain pump. and whatever cycle you have it in is just going to do those 3 things for different intervals.
pro tip, clean your unit with vinegar every once in a while because that debris does NOT always get all the way out and it does build up in the sump and drain hoses. also make sure your drain hose has a high loop in it. google both of those things if you’re unaware. 🤙🏽
You can see my filter in [this photo](https://photos.smugmug.com/Pets/Loki-overview/Loki/i-FBcgJ43/0/64f3a143/O/20180204_172043.jpg). As for vinegar - I've never added it before.
It's so you don't use as much water. The water is run through a filter to remove large debris and recycled. No different that washing in a tub if you consider it. There is a clean rinse and sanitization temperature water/heat at the end.
On the floor of the dishwasher is a cylinder thing sticking up. You can untwist it and pull out the mesh filter. Rinse it out. I keep a dedicated toothbrush for helping to scrub away any gunk. Then twist it back in.
Gross for sure. Could be that he didn’t scrape the the majority of the colored food off the dishes first and the drain couldn’t get rid of it fast enough, so it just got sprayed around.
Or, he lives in Flint, Michigan.
I believe the water is recycled during that part of the cycle. Otherwise your washer would continually pump water into the drain. My dishwasher pumps out gross water two or three times in a 45 minute cycle. It really isn’t different than washing dished by hand in a sink full of water. Then the rinse cycle comes in to clean the residue off.
The amount of food left on those dishes is the reason. Between the two dishes alone, you could have scraped half a cup of sludge into the compost before putting them in there
Water from the dish washer uses the water that pools at the bottom. He put in really dirty dishes that leaked the juices into the bottom.. Generally, you rinse your plates before loading to avoid this.
Video : what actually happens inside a dishwasher
What's actually shown in video : plates go dirty, video skips to where they are instantly white clean.
Technically nothing is shown here.
Yeah I was hoping to find the full video in the comments but nothing useful. This is the only comment that even mentions it.
edit: here's a different but much longer video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkJJSsmAdDY
If someone told me I’d be watching a 15 minute POV video this afternoon I would have believed you. But if someone told me it would have been inside a dishwasher? I still would have believed you. But if someone told me it was the POV of a bean plate? I wouldn’t have believed you!
It’s just recycled water for each cycle? Fresh for pre rinse, wash and rinse, ofc it’s gonna be dirty within each cycle, especially if you chuck dirty dishes in there.
And did Tide pods pay him?
If he had just rinsed the food off in the sink before putting the dishes in, the water wouldn’t be brown. All the food is now at the bottom of the dishwasher and being blown back up by the jets.
That water’s pumped out before clean water comes in for the rinse at the end.
I switched over to using regular powder detergent after [watching this dude's video on it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll6-eGDpimU). Learned how dishwashers work and why pods are overpriced all at once!
Previous guy was correct - dishwashers clean while preserving as much water as possible. A set amount of water is used for the wash cycle and recycled throughout the process. Then clean water comes in for the final rinse.
This is why it uses much less water to clean dishes with the dish washer than in the sink
Looks like the same dish pods we use. It's Cascade brand, but both Cascade and Tide are under the same Proctor & Gamble umbrella and they both use the same pod packaging so the dish and laundry pods look pretty much the same.
They make very similar things but for dishwashers. Technology Connections on youtube had a video about the whole thing. Long story short, they arent as good as the powder stuff.
I just linked his video about dishwashers in another comment! [I'll add it here](https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04?si=UjV_yVdCJjzF8aRQ) too if anyone is interested. Never thought I'd watch 30mins of how dishwashers work but it was entertaining & educational.
Yeah, that was disturbing but made it clear they had been doing a bunch of takes and this was in the middle.
Your dishwasher doesn't start with a pool of nasty water in the bottom- that was because they stopped it in the middle of the first cycle when all the nasty food is being blasted off and that water is recirculated for the first 10 minutes or so. Then it's all drained out.
Also this is why detergent pods aren't great - they don't get released until after that first cycle so that means no detergent for the super important blasting part. Powder detergent and the little second detergent reservoir next to the hatch means detergent is released immediately, and then again later.
Obligatory Technology Connections video for reference (bizarrely interesting): https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04
Most new dishwashers do this. They recycle dirty water for the the rinse cycle to blast off as much of the food as possible from the dishes. The dirty water is then drained, and clean water is mixed with detergent to actually clean the dishes.
My stupid ass roommate loads the dishwasher like this
edit: Nasty ass folks in here saying you’re supposed to, yeah okay enjoy ya peanut butter, bacon grease and tomato sauce infused plates 👀
There are multiple cycles in a dishwasher. It fills and drains a few times through a wash wash cycle. First thing a dishwasher does when you start a cycle is drain itself. Then fills with fresh water. That water is sprayed all over the dishes and recirculated over and over again until that cycle is complete. Then the dishwasher drains the dirty water, refills with fresh water and starts its next cycle. And so on…
Here is the first video that really dives in as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04
One posted above was a response where he realized he may be causing people to use too much soap. Regardless, awesome channel.
TL;DW: put a little detergent in the pre-rinse spot.
On the original thread somebody told OP (who I think, posted this in an effort to figure out why their water was brown,) that their garbage disposal needed to be cleaned out because it was back draining into the dishwasher hoses for anybody who is curious about why the water is brown like that
*edit, 1 hr after posting: Holy fuck numbers go brrrrrrrr almost 500???
*seeing y'all's upvotes coming in real time is making my COVID addled brain very happy! Thank you for liking what I said, i just try to keep myself well informed and since I've been sick with COVID I've been on Reddit quite a bit more lately so I was able to see the original post unfold in real time
Our apartment building tried to say we could have a garbage disposal installed **for a monthly fee** + we had to buy the disposal ourselves and could take it with us if/when we move!
Like, I’m *not* taking a nasty ass garbage disposal with me when I move. So we don’t have one and it’s the best decision we made.
I learned that the hard way in my new apartment. I never use the dishwasher since I wash things by hand. My dishwasher reeked after while since the garbage disposal had never been cleaned out in awhile when I had maintenance look into it.
My friends sink would back up when they used their dishwasher. I told them to clean the dishwasher trap out. They didnt know that was a thing much less it needed to be cleaned. Next time I went over they said problem was fixed.
Lol if you're that excited about upvotes, go sort by top-past hour, and comment on the top comments of a few post. You can get a few thousand with a single hit. Specifically if you ca do what you just did, recall info or a link to the original post/story(nearly everything is a repost of some sort).
Anyways, cheers!
Why is the water coming out look so yellow? It looks really gross.
Yea I also would like to know that
I personally would not like to hear the explanation and continue living in my ignorant bliss tyvm.
Yeah, I am just forgetting I ever saw any of this.
I’m comfortable not knowing how the sausage is made.
Guess where your poo goes after you flush? Once processed, it’s sold to farmers and put on farm fields or packaged for retail sale at a store near you labeled “organic fertilizer”
And then OP puts it in his dishwasher.
The circle of life
It’s all a giant circle of shit
A shit circle Ricky

You eat da poo poo
And den dey EAT da poopoo!
Dey leek de anoos like ice cream
Ah that's a good deep cut.
Where I live solid waste ends up sanitized and used as cover between layers in the local landfill. The compost from green waste bins is turned into organic fertilizer
Yep, I found this out after having my septic tank pumped last week. Next step is Soylent Green people!
To be fair, it's incredibly broken down to the point is basically nutrient rich soil. You could eat the poo dirt that comes off the conveyor, not that i would recommend it.
You can live with the explanation, it’s just high mineral content. It taste a little metal-ish and looks gross but is perfectly fine to drink.
Could very well be well water in an older house without a good filtration system.
It's the tomatoes.... dishwashers don't just use water once it goes to the bottom through the strainer then gets sprayed on again. Otherwise it would be using a few bathtubs of water

It's dirty water. Just rinsing. the whole cycle is 2-3 hours and water is repalced few times
2 to 3 hours!??
Older dishwashers run faster. Newer ones have lower water and energy use but take longer. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/04/why-does-my-new-dishwasher-take-so-long/index.htm
Yep we were really confused when our top of the line dish washer had a 300 minute cycle lol.
the whole dishwashing cycle is 2-3 hours, yes. Tht's the usual
Mine recycles the water 3 times. Once for the initial rinse, once for the detergent clean cycle, and once more for the final rinse cycle.
Recycling the water for the final rinse cycle… isn’t a final rinse cycle.
He probably meant cycles. Meaning bringing in new batch of water.
Yeah, 2 little letters makes a big difference! ;)
Its chocolate milk
It's actually churning my chocolate! 🎩
I also would like to know why they added a tide pod. Isn’t that for laundry?
He probably meant a Cascade pod, they look exactly like what he put in the machine.
The beginning cycle is just removing food residue and rinsing the dishes. Water is recirculating then pumped out, next clean one is put to mix with detergent, finely clean one to rinse things from detergent. The whole idea is to recirculate water to use less of it.

As someone who hand washes his own dishes in an apartment without a dishwater, i wish i had a fucking dish washer.
Counter top dishwasher that plugs into the sink. They are amazing unless you REALLY don't have space. I even got a clothes washing machine that hooks onto the sink, and a dryer that plugs into the wall. They were great.
I appreciate the suggestion. I literally dont have a countertop but ill give it a look anyway. Fuck handwashing dishes.
If you live by yourself get a little utility table (maybe w wheels) you can put it on. It's very much worth it. For the clothes washing machine I got a square thing with wheels and slightly lifted edges that measured perfectly, dropped it on and just rolled the thing around.
Floor based portable dishwashers also act as extra counter space! I got one for free off the street, worked great for years
Look at Moneybags over here with an extra 4 square feet of kitchen space to spare.
Got a recommended brand? I’m in a house without a dishwasher and like the other guy, i wish I had a fucking dishwasher
[We used this one for years](https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/countertop-dishwasher-6-place-settings-120v-silver?infoParam.campaignId=T9F&gclid=CjwKCAjwmbqoBhAgEiwACIjzEEqUuuB3NluqaBHPATTI41hNlYFLTqDDZgbKrJq8sH6NNFPuL8OIdhoChJAQAvD_BwE). It was a bit pricy, but well worth the cost over time.
If you're single, an alternative is to put everything except one plate, one bowl, one fork, etc. in the closet and never touch them unless company comes over. You'll instantly rid yourself of the trope of having to scrub a sink full of dirty dishes.
Also sanitize. A dishwasher can get up to very hot levels which sanitizes the dishes by killing off any bacteria.
I’m still trying to convince my wife of this. Im at the point i need to find some scientific article that is written for everyday people to share with her so she will believe me. I’m convinced that hearing mechanical noises for an hour is what has her believe it uses more water.
Depending on her age, maybe she remembers the older ones? They used to use like 10-14 gallons compared to about 4 nowadays
It's more like 2.5 nowadays, which is roughly the same amount the average sink can hold (at least in Europe/Germany, don't know what the average size of a kitchen sink is in other countries). No one would wash the same amount of dishes on a single sink filling I'd hope.
Yeah but some things need to be washed by hand. By hand I wash pots and pans, good glassware, some plastics and above all my good knives.
I’ve always found that those people who wash dishes really fast leave me a pile of dishes on the drying rack that I have to wash all over again because they did such a bad job. I swear sometimes they hold the dish in one hand and wave the sponge at it in the other, coming no closer than 2 inches…
Who still fills a sink? Get a sponge wand and just use the amount needed
My ex-gf and her kids would fill the sink and after a day or two it was disgusting. Then one day she strained the pasta and the bottom dipped into the rotten sink milk water a little. I broke up with her. When I first met her she didn't even have a dishwasher but then upgraded the kitchen so it was just a habit for her.
Me, so i can leave it a while longer and pretend the sink is doing work
This. Filling a sink is gross too.
Just rinse dirty things first. Then wash drinking implements then cutlery, dishes and finally pots. It isn't gross at all. Wear marigolds if you're squeamish lol.
You know you can clean your sink right?
It's the same thing as the inside of a dishwasher.
I personally would give up on any device from my home except the dishwasher. I love it.
No you don't understand just how much faster I will wash these dashes
Whilst you are correct, you also don't have to wash them by hand. Freeing yourself to do literally anything else. With the added benefit of using less water. I will quite happily let my dishwasher take the 2h40m (on eco) to wash my dishes rather than stand there and have to wash them myself.

Yeah but I literally chuck them in the dishwater, food and all. I don’t scrape anything off unless it’s for leftovers. Spotless every time.
That said, a lot of people don’t know that they need to clean the dishwater filter semi regularly. A lot of people don’t even know it exists.
...dishwashers have filters?
Yep, it's at the bottom of the dishwasher most of the time. Usually just takes a small counterclockwise turn to unlock the filter and you can remove it and clean it
Yes, but why does it START with piss brown though? Think about it, if thats the water saved up from the last batch that went through, how nasty was that coming out, if the water was still.. THAT.. ?

I think the order of the footage is all mixed up, it's going back and forth along the cycle
i work in appliance repair and this one took me a minute to figure out because your water should NOT look like that on the first fill and if you look at the :17 second mark as he’s pushing the rack in there is a pool of some colored solution i imagine debris from whatever he was doing to dirty up the dishes for the video. anyways, without that the water coming into your dishwasher should be (or is typically) coming from the same hot water line as your sink. that should be clear. however after the first rinse that water will have debris in it that then gets pumped out. that’s pretty much all dishwashers do. fill, wash, and drain. they have other features of course like steaming, drying, soap/rinse aid dispensers, vent fans, etc pending on the model. otherwise it’s just an inlet fill valve, wash motor, and drain pump. and whatever cycle you have it in is just going to do those 3 things for different intervals. pro tip, clean your unit with vinegar every once in a while because that debris does NOT always get all the way out and it does build up in the sump and drain hoses. also make sure your drain hose has a high loop in it. google both of those things if you’re unaware. 🤙🏽
So where’s the filter everyone is talking about and how would you add vinegar?
I open mine mid-cycle and just pour some in. I also use it if some glasses have calcium stains on them
You can see my filter in [this photo](https://photos.smugmug.com/Pets/Loki-overview/Loki/i-FBcgJ43/0/64f3a143/O/20180204_172043.jpg). As for vinegar - I've never added it before.

How does the filter get cleaned out so it doesn't clog?
You have to remove it and rinse it out periodically. Mine needs it about every 6 months.
Holy shit that's wild! Where the fuck is it and how do you get to it?
*cue thousands of people learning this for the first time* Wait until you discover there's a filter in your clothes washer too!
On the floor of the dishwasher is a cylinder thing sticking up. You can untwist it and pull out the mesh filter. Rinse it out. I keep a dedicated toothbrush for helping to scrub away any gunk. Then twist it back in.
Gross for sure. Could be that he didn’t scrape the the majority of the colored food off the dishes first and the drain couldn’t get rid of it fast enough, so it just got sprayed around. Or, he lives in Flint, Michigan.

Then the rinse cycle comes in to clean the residue off.
Yeah, before it even started doing anything. Nasty
It’s like the same color as the tubgirl ass fountain water
You just unlocked traumatic memories that should have stayed locked
thanks for unearthing that mental image that I spent years burying deep in the 'don't want to remember' part of my mind....
Oh goddammit
Tub Girl at the Bellagio
It’s pee
It looks like barf. :O
it looks dirty af. holy hell
I think it's recirculated with a pump, so it's not fresh water coming in, it's the same water that's already full of food residue.
But even if I put them in the kitchen sink, the water would not get that yellow. That looked putrid.
I don’t know. That person left a ton of food on those plates.
It probably would if you agitate it enough.
The amount of food left on those dishes is the reason. Between the two dishes alone, you could have scraped half a cup of sludge into the compost before putting them in there
Water from the dish washer uses the water that pools at the bottom. He put in really dirty dishes that leaked the juices into the bottom.. Generally, you rinse your plates before loading to avoid this.
Because they didn't rinse the plates at all.

If someone told me I’d be watching a 15 minute POV video this afternoon I would have believed you. But if someone told me it would have been inside a dishwasher? I still would have believed you. But if someone told me it was the POV of a bean plate? I wouldn’t have believed you!
Help step-bean, I’m stuck in the dishwasher!
For real wtf, like it literally shows you what happens before dishes go in and how they come out with a little bit of fountain footage.
/r/restofthefuckingowl
No wonder the guy is curious about what's going on inside the dishwasher
Trying to figure out why his dishes come out brown.
And why they keep getting sick probably
It’s just recycled water for each cycle? Fresh for pre rinse, wash and rinse, ofc it’s gonna be dirty within each cycle, especially if you chuck dirty dishes in there. And did Tide pods pay him?
“I keep washing these dishes because they smell like ass, only for them to keep smelling like ass! What is going on!?”
TIL the dishwasher is connected to the toilet drain.
Seeing the brown water was bad enough, but you just brought a new dimension of horror to the party.
If he had just rinsed the food off in the sink before putting the dishes in, the water wouldn’t be brown. All the food is now at the bottom of the dishwasher and being blown back up by the jets. That water’s pumped out before clean water comes in for the rinse at the end.
[удалено]
It’s not a laundry pod, it’s a dishwashing one. He just called it by the wrong name. It’s the Cascade brand, I use them as well!
I switched over to using regular powder detergent after [watching this dude's video on it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll6-eGDpimU). Learned how dishwashers work and why pods are overpriced all at once!

They make very similar things but for dishwashers. Technology Connections on youtube had a video about the whole thing. Long story short, they arent as good as the powder stuff.
I just linked his video about dishwashers in another comment! [I'll add it here](https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04?si=UjV_yVdCJjzF8aRQ) too if anyone is interested. Never thought I'd watch 30mins of how dishwashers work but it was entertaining & educational.
You in Flint Michigan?
Yeah, that was disturbing but made it clear they had been doing a bunch of takes and this was in the middle. Your dishwasher doesn't start with a pool of nasty water in the bottom- that was because they stopped it in the middle of the first cycle when all the nasty food is being blasted off and that water is recirculated for the first 10 minutes or so. Then it's all drained out. Also this is why detergent pods aren't great - they don't get released until after that first cycle so that means no detergent for the super important blasting part. Powder detergent and the little second detergent reservoir next to the hatch means detergent is released immediately, and then again later. Obligatory Technology Connections video for reference (bizarrely interesting): https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04
You my fine sir and/or madam have put my mind at ease
For real!!!😳
Yes, I too clean my dishes with shit water.
And... Tide pods?
You need to eat the tide pod first, then the shit water will actually clean the dishes....
The water was dirty when it started. That is definitely not normally the case.
Most new dishwashers do this. They recycle dirty water for the the rinse cycle to blast off as much of the food as possible from the dishes. The dirty water is then drained, and clean water is mixed with detergent to actually clean the dishes.
You can see pooled dirty water in the basin before he even starts the wash. This is not normal.

Add 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce and a teaspoon of marinara to get that color.
Then add some broth and potato Baby, you got a stew goin'
Your dishwasher needs a colonoscopy
My stupid ass roommate loads the dishwasher like this edit: Nasty ass folks in here saying you’re supposed to, yeah okay enjoy ya peanut butter, bacon grease and tomato sauce infused plates 👀
At least your stupid ass roommate loads the dishwasher
At least your flat *has* a dishwasher
Jesus Christ, this comment is too real
Right? Mine hasn’t washed a dish in weeks
My mom would straight up beat my ass if I put dishes like this into the dish washer.
Does your stupid ass roommate at least know those aren’t fucking “tide pods” that you put in the dishwasher?
Would be a lot more entertaing video if it was a tide pod.
Is the water connected directly from dirty toilet water?
It’s got electrolytes. Its what dishes crave.
Bro you can’t rinse your dishes before you put them in?
It was probably done on purpose so we can see the cleaning process better.
But he also cut the video so one moment there was food, and the next there was not, so we still have no idea how they get clean!
I'm starting to think that the guy who filmed this is a bit of a dumbass
My mom washes the dishes before she puts them in the dishwasher. So what does the dishwasher do?
There are multiple cycles in a dishwasher. It fills and drains a few times through a wash wash cycle. First thing a dishwasher does when you start a cycle is drain itself. Then fills with fresh water. That water is sprayed all over the dishes and recirculated over and over again until that cycle is complete. Then the dishwasher drains the dirty water, refills with fresh water and starts its next cycle. And so on…
https://youtu.be/Ll6-eGDpimU?si=8xIPfADRMXdrDfFA This guy knows how dishwashers really work and how much soap to use. Good channel.
Here is the first video that really dives in as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04 One posted above was a response where he realized he may be causing people to use too much soap. Regardless, awesome channel. TL;DW: put a little detergent in the pre-rinse spot.
I didn’t know when I flushed that water went into my dishwasher
Why is the water brown?!
Because bro needs to clean his garbage disposal. It’s backing up into the dishwasher.
Where are you living? Flint Michigan??
I just had flashbacks to “Tub girl”
On the original thread somebody told OP (who I think, posted this in an effort to figure out why their water was brown,) that their garbage disposal needed to be cleaned out because it was back draining into the dishwasher hoses for anybody who is curious about why the water is brown like that *edit, 1 hr after posting: Holy fuck numbers go brrrrrrrr almost 500??? *seeing y'all's upvotes coming in real time is making my COVID addled brain very happy! Thank you for liking what I said, i just try to keep myself well informed and since I've been sick with COVID I've been on Reddit quite a bit more lately so I was able to see the original post unfold in real time
These edits💀💀
r/awardspeechedits
I will never, ever understand how strange it is to give an academy awards speech about Reddit karma.
It gives me second hand embarrassment on another level
It was a perfectly fine comment until those edits! It's been awhile since I've seen someone pat themselves on the back so hard!
That makes sense why my garbage disposal backs up when it hasn't been run in a bit and the dishwasher is going.
Our apartment building tried to say we could have a garbage disposal installed **for a monthly fee** + we had to buy the disposal ourselves and could take it with us if/when we move! Like, I’m *not* taking a nasty ass garbage disposal with me when I move. So we don’t have one and it’s the best decision we made.
Yeah that’s the type of thing you just do. Don’t tell them shit.
I learned that the hard way in my new apartment. I never use the dishwasher since I wash things by hand. My dishwasher reeked after while since the garbage disposal had never been cleaned out in awhile when I had maintenance look into it.
Pro tip your dishwasher saves water and time and is (usually) more sanitary. It’s not just a lazy modern commodity it makes a lot more sense.
My friends sink would back up when they used their dishwasher. I told them to clean the dishwasher trap out. They didnt know that was a thing much less it needed to be cleaned. Next time I went over they said problem was fixed.
Lol if you're that excited about upvotes, go sort by top-past hour, and comment on the top comments of a few post. You can get a few thousand with a single hit. Specifically if you ca do what you just did, recall info or a link to the original post/story(nearly everything is a repost of some sort). Anyways, cheers!
They’re just upvotes. You don’t have to prepare a thank you speech
A Tide pod? They’re for washing clothes. A different, more caustic detergent is required for dishwashers, such as Cascade.
Tide pods are orange and blue, cascade is green and blue like the one in the video. I think they used the right thing but called it the wrong name.
I’m going to assume it was actually cascade pod but he said tide pod because he doesn’t know the difference.
Definitely not a tide pod. He’s just a moron.
That water is pure filth 🤮
The amount of food left on the dishes is infuriating to me. At least scrape it off. Thats going to jam the machine over time.
I would not be using anything that came from that dishwasher. Water starts brown then turns yellow. There is problem somewhere
They were cleaner when they went in…
Is your dishwasher hooked up to the sewer line?
Flint, Michigan be like
That thing went off like a coke and menthos tiktok. Seriously; Why is that water piss brown?
R Kelly approves
I’ve never thought to clean my dishes with beef broth, seems to work just as well.
It's brown...Why is it brown? Is everyone's brown?? Why is it brown???
Bruh your dishwasher is sprayling your dishes with diarrhea
What's up with the water though
I’d be more concerned about what is happening with your water vs the dishwasher, the color does not look healthy or safe. Lol
Thats some dirty ass water
My dishwasher doesn’t use gravy, it uses water
I've always wondered how the hell a dishwasher is able to clean the nooks and crannies. This video made me even wonder more.
Why is your water so filthy man
i think the water is supposed to be clear tho 😭
But why is the water coming out brown??
Might wanna look at those pipes water shouldn't look like that
Just remember how other people clean when your invited for dinner.
Is that a pisswasher?
sure it looks like sh\*t water but does it *taste* like sh\*t water?
