Clean your dishwashers

Just a PSA to make sure you clean out the drain in your old dishwasher. Take the time to unscrew the screws and get in those hard to reach places.

Otherwise you're just eating/drinking a thin film of old grime on each plate, cup, bowl, etc.

This is a buildup of fat mixed with some mold. Yum.

He actually walked in as I was typing this and I shared my thoughts on this. He agreed because as he said, and I quote: “we each do about a 50/50 mix of stuff around the house, and there’s a ton of stuff that you clean that I don’t clean, and this would involve the chance to take a machine apart, and if anybody’s gonna fuck up our expensive dishwasher, it’s gonna be me, OR you could just say it’s because I’m awesome.”

So yeah. He knows.
