My teenage daughter tried to do me a favor yesterday by washing the dishes in the dishwasher. Only problem is she put Dawn in the dispensing cup! After cleaning up the mounds of soap bubbles off my (ruined) hardwood floor, I have no idea how to dissolve what might be left over in the dishwasher so I can run it safely. Any ideas??

Why certainly ! You can use one cup of White Vinegar, just add this to an empty dishwasher and put it through a cycle, when the dishwasher is done your dishwasher will be back to the way it was before your daughter used dishwashing detergent, you can do this hint periodically to keep your dishwasher and all it's parts clean and free of hard water stains, you will be surprised that your dishes will come out cleaner than they did before like having a new dishwasher again and it will last longer too. So don't get mad at your daughter she actually did you a favor, you know what my teenage son did the very same thing to my dishwasher and I used this treatment and dishwasher was good again. Good Luck !

Warm water and white vinegar and sponge the inside walls of the dishwasher.

You need to pour a few TBS of cooking oil in the soap part. Run a full cycle - the oil will cut thru the soap and then run a normal cycle with nothing

Just throw a bar of soap in there, like Ivory or Zest, and turn it on for a few minutes. The bubbles will dissolve like magic!
