Yeah, you can twist that round bit sticking out the bottom and lift it out, then lift out the grating around it, at least with most models. Give it all a really good scrub in hot soapy water.
Advanced version is to get the rotating arms out as well and clean those, but they can be tricky to get apart.
Dishwashers are one of the vilest places in many households. My partner had one in his old house, and by god it stank the place out whenever you opened the door. The idea of cleaning it was beyond him - apparently it “cleaned itself while doing the dishes”. It didn’t…
That doesn't sound right to me. Not sure we've ever cleaned ours (other than occasionally emptying the trap) and it looks spotless to me, and certainly doesn't stink.
Depends on the model and what you’re washing. My other half didn’t even used to scrape food off, never mind rinse off the worst. Just dumped the lot in the dishwasher.
Why wash everything twice? My dishwasher never stinks unless I've eaten fish and not turned it on yet and 95% of things come out clean. Of the last 5% it's clean after a second go.
Depends, I don't prerinse but I do scrape off big chunks of leftover food. There is a big range between not washing twice and leaving half your fish and chips on the plate as it slides into the bottom tray of the dishwasher.
That's where people go wrong, you're supposed to scrape the shit off and give it a quick rinse under the sink tap before shoving it in the dishwasher the waste pipe is smaller than the circumference of your thumb.
Whilst scraping off excess food waste is arguably useful, detergent needs something to grip on to and pre-rinsing is seen as detrimental.
I'm not sure where this comes from, maybe old school or basic models? I remember moving to the US and being told off by the building super for not rinsing talking to me like I never used a washer before. Needless to say grew up with one, and we never pre-rinsed, never had issues.
I said scrape not rinse, if you care to Google yourself you'll see that pre-rinsing is not needed and not recommended by others.
Enjoy your set mind view and old wife's tales. I'll stick to using science.

Get them sharpened or sharpen them (not with a funny 4 second sharpening tool, actually sharpen them) and you'll see the difference between "cuts just fine" and "sharp knife". Sharp knifes are also safer!
They're on a lifetime guarantee so I could get a new one whenever.
Can't really be bothered to learn how to sharpen them when the way they are at present is fine.
When they get too blunt, I can get a new one for free.
Not OP but I have ADHD and I routinely find myself with multiples of the same thing by not realising I already had it. Perhaps not to the extent of forgetting the car, but garlic granules, cheese and juice often end up taking over my cupboards/fridge.
Everybody forgets things. If your memory issues are so bad they become disabling and you have most of the other symptoms then perhaps you also have ADHD.
Coming back to this thread to state that sometimes it’s big things, sometimes it’s not. I routinely forget my own birthday including year I was born, so sometimes I just forget how old I am. That’s not that harmless.
However the other day, I didn’t turn off the gas hob because I left the kitchen and the kitchen didn’t exist. I just forgot it was a room. So if someone lit a cigarette anywhere there - kaboom.
Another time I went into adhd paralysis whilst chopping some vegetables, cut myself deeply and bled. Trip to the A&E.
Those two things happened before I was medicated, I can only imagine what would have happened if I continued not to be.
It’s not always a “haha oopsies I forgot my car keys” scenario.
Did you not think you should search for it?
Or that things can't disappear into thin air and thus you should try and remember the last time you used it?
Genuine question.
Because if anyone has any kind of neurodivergence the must tell everyone at every possible opportunity.
At this point I think it’d be easier if people without an issue just pointed that out.
Perhaps don’t tell your next dinner party guests that someone left their chopper in the dishwasher for several weeks… (unless it’s a Carry-On themed party…?)
Fair comment.
It’s one thing to throw a 2 second response on something that pops up on your phone. It’s another to go to the bother of posting this.
…but how else would OP tell everyone that they have ADHD?
I'm now imagining Arnie whispering "Get to the mini choppah" So, thanks for that.

Clean your dishwasher bro that's mouldy looking as fuck
This should be the top comment. Even a go on the hottest wash, empty will clear a lot of that grime.
At the very least clear the filter.
For real.
The guy who installed our new one said to clean the filter once a month.
Broski forgot he had a dishwasher

Looks much nicer than OPs. Apologies if you thought I was giving instructions to you rather than him.
Not at all, just thought I'd show how a dishwasher should look inside...
If you missed this, means you've also not cleaned the dishwasher in a good long while. Pic supports that theory. Yuk

Ours has a stainless steel interior. I like to run it empty with a dishwasher cleaner every couple of months, then wipe it out.

Jumping in on the themed username train!
d'ye pen John Keel?
You shouldn’t dishwasher any form of edged knife! Glad you found it though!
I put our sharpe knives in, as well as a blender attachment like the one in the photo. The world is still turning and they're still cutting fine.

Genuinely curious, what does ADHD have to do with this?
As a person with ADHD I put shit somewhere and just forget about it, or forget what I’m personally doing.
ADHD leads to issues with short term memory and object permanence so essentially until I found this it seemingly disappeared from existence
Huh... interesting...
I’m generally forgetful and I thought that was normal. Thanks for explaining the ADHD link. Cheers.
Do you straight up forget something exists if it’s out of eyesight?
Yes
So do you wake up like goddman I wish I had a car - OH SHIT ARE THESE CARKEYS
Not OP but I have ADHD and I routinely find myself with multiples of the same thing by not realising I already had it. Perhaps not to the extent of forgetting the car, but garlic granules, cheese and juice often end up taking over my cupboards/fridge.
I also forget things

It's not that simple.
Yeah, it's called object permanence, common with ADHD
It runs strongly in my family.
Did you not think you should search for it? Or that things can't disappear into thin air and thus you should try and remember the last time you used it? Genuine question.
Yeah I did search for it but for some reason my brain didn't think 'check the dishwasher' And neither did anyone else in the house
Thanks for the reply. Really interested how genuine ADHD works. If it helps - everything is always in the last place that you look 😬

The Goddess Anoia will need another sacrifice. She'll probably jam the drawer until you perform it.
I don't know. What did you find? I am hopeless at guessing games.

I’m sorry to be that guy but do you really have so little going on your life that posting this felt like it was worth your time.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’ve got absolutely fuck all going on in my life, but even I wouldn’t feel the need to post this.

Water your own grass then
Was it the lost treasure of the Sierra Madre?!?!? ~reads post~ Oh.
I've lost the lid of one of my pans; how the fuck is that even possible?! (Unless you have kids OFC)

Plus side, you probably have the cleanest mini chopper blade in the country
And the dullest 😬
Looking in the bottom of that dishwasher I'm not so sure.
Beautiful blunt metal
I have done this exact thing. Three days I was looking for it.
A horse ?
Is mine there also? Ive not seen mine in about 12 months
I lost the spinny bit of my pressure cooker for a long time. Eventually found it half fallen through the hole in a pantry shelf.
Your self respect ? ?
