See, yesterday, I filled up the dishwasher, put the fancy new biodegradable soap in it, turned it on, and went to lie on my bed and <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">read my book<\/span> take a nap. About an hour later, I wandered into the kitchen to find a giant puddle of suds on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>I cleaned the floor, scooped the suds out of the tub, and pulled out the manual. I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d ever need to look at the instructions, but hey, I&#8217;m glad I kept them. Naturally, I suspected the worst, but the troubleshooting chart immediately assuaged my fears.<\/p>\n<p>You know what? It actually <em>does<\/em> matter what kind of soap you put in your dishwasher. It took a long time for the suds to go down, but they did, eventually, and then, I ran the whole thing through another rinse cycle. All done.<\/p>\n<p>Note to self and other well meaning types: You really <em>do<\/em> need to use the soap recommended in the manual.<\/p>\n<p>The kitchen floor is nice and clean now. Also, as a person who writes documentation for a living, I&#8217;m always happy when it&#8217;s useful.<\/p>\n<p>[tags]dishwasher, documentation, soap suds[\/tags]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro tip: That note on your dishwasher about what kind of soap to put in it?
