My normal assertion that I am the only one with common sense in this relationship took a little knock on Sunday.  While I was preparing our late Sunday Lunch; the two of us having spent the preceding five hours working in the garden,  I decided that the dish washer could do with a good deep clean.  In between putting the new potatoes onto boil and the chicken chasseur in the oven, I did a good old squirt of fairy liquid into the dish washer before switching it on. 

I turned my attention to the cooker and mixed the vegetables now simmering happily away in the pans before looking inside the oven to check on the chicken.  This took all of two minutes.  I then turned around.

Pouring out the sides of the dish washer was foam.  Lots of it. The cats who had previously being lying around my feet in the kitchen looked on in amusement as I shouted for Paul.  “Something has gone wrong”.  Paul came in to open the dish washer and the foam “it was previously full of” dropped out and spread across the kitchen floor.  Paul asked what I had done.  I sheepishly mentioned the fairy liquid.

 The next ten minutes involved, panic, much reading of the dish washer manual and every available towel in the house. In between this chaos I served up our late Lunch while listening to Paul pointing out the errror of my way.

So there you have it.  A momentary lapse of common sense on my part.  Don’t put fairy liquid in the dish washer. 

This does of course leave the question “Can you use Sunlight washing up liquid instead?”
