We’ve all been there. You open the dishwasher expecting sparkling clean plates, only to find a filthy pool of grey water sitting at the bottom of the tub.
Save the heavy-duty chemicals for the bathroom sink. For your dishwasher, just clean the filter. Your face (and your warranty) will thank you. Have you ever dealt with a standing-water disaster? Let us know in the comments how you fixed it (without the chemicals)!
Your first instinct might be to reach for the heavy-duty (like Drano, Mr. Muscle, or caustic soda) sitting under the sink. After all, a clog is a clog, right?
