    Hey one of my roommates just put Dawn dishwashing liquid inside the dishwasher instead of using dishwasher detergent. Now suds and water are running everywhere on the kitchen floor. We stopped the dishwasher but how can we get it to stop spewing out suds and water? PLEASE HELP!!!

    Does it have a dial? Turn it to finish the cycle and let it empty.

    That's what we did and it still is foaming out the front. Any ideas, or are there any substances that can stop the sudding process?

    I heard you can throw a couple of ant-acids in there and that will reduce the bubbles.

    Well, I have never actually put hand soap into a dishwasher. Therefore, I can't verify that putting antacids will work. Thats just what I heard.

    Couldnt hurt right?

    Maybe something else non-polar, like PAM would work..

    Well we just stopped the dishwasher and the the suds and water stopped coming out of it.

    I think they finally got it under control.

    candycane and my other roommate are two women and they cleaned it up yet they were not skantly clad :(

    My guess is that it was you who put the liquid soap in the dishwasher?

    Don't let him fool you, he has done it before. Our other roomate did it this time and I think all the suds are gone this morning. How many of you have ever done this before? Don't Lie.

    Did you interrupt the wash cycle? Perhaps the drain closes while you are washing and opens after rinsing...

    Yes, I did this once but didn't have this big a problem. This is right out of "I Love Lucy."

    Wait just a sec candycane. I didn't do it last night though now I did I. :D That's what Behad was implying but I have done it before but it wasn't as bad as last night maybe that just because Scorin' filled up the detergent tray and I didn't when I made this mishap. You learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others though so to all of you out there...NEVER PUT DISHWASHING LIQUID INTO A DISHWASHER...USE ONLY DISHWASHER DETERGENT!
