I confess. I was in college, trying to clean out a glass smoking accessory (for tobacco use only!) & I left some palmolive in the thing.
I wouldn't think so. It would be like leaving the top up on the clothes washer... it won't go through all the cycles until the system is closed. Where are you at now in this process? Can you try to "mop up" some of the excess soap so that the sudsing won't be so out of control?
It happened yesterday......I have to mop up when I get home today......You think if I dried up all of the excess water on the bottom and run another cycle until it finishes, it wont happen again
Maybe you should try putting your liquid hand soap in your washing machine. Let's see what happens there. Haha. That is some funny stuff.
This happened to me once. As I was moving out of the dorm at the end of my sophomore year, my future roommate and I went down to the laundry room to play some pool. There we see a big tub of dishwashing detergent on one of the dryers. Figuring it was the end of the year, no one was doing laundry, and that most people had moved out already, we decided to take it for our new dishwasher in our apartment. A couple of weeks later, we realized that dishwashing detergent in the laundry room of a dorm didn't really make a whole lot of sense.
To the extent that you can remove the soap from inside the dishwasher, the sudsiness will diminish proportionally. I have no idea of the scale of this disaster, however.
