whenever I'm choosing a new place to rent, it's always a very exciting plus to see a working dishwasher. Here's what I put in there besides food chariots:
1. Phone case: if 2020 has taught us anything, it's that we nasty. if it's not made of bedazzled feathers, throw it in.
2. Sponges: also seems to be an ameoba of threatening germs. Run it through, squeeze it out, and it at least looks better.
3. Scrubbers: this is the same idea as #2, plus the little dish it sits in.
4. Kids' toys: they are almost all dishwasher-safe plastic and almost all been in the kid's mouth, dog's mouth, floor, and trash today.
5. Beauty Blender: I dunno really, but it looked better after I did it. This blog is free so you get what you pay for.
6. Parts of the stove: I'm so very grateful to have a stove, but it's the worst stove. One of those electric swirly twirly stoves, plus all my burners are tilted about 10° somehow? Well I turned off the stove, unplugged the burners, and the lil bowls that behold them were very happy for the bath.
7. Glasses: maybe I should run this by an optometrist, but mine have been fine and smuge-free.
