Help! White spirit in dishwasher

2 replies

AuntMarysPinny · 20/08/2018 13:01

I'm so clumsy and have knocked a jar full of dirty paintbrushes and white spirit off the side and its fallen into the open dishwasher. I've run it empty with just tablets in several times and done the old white vinegar trick but it still smells like white spirit.

Does anyone have any tips on how to save my sanity dishwasher? I'm up to my elbows in washing up already and I haven't even had lunch yet!

White spirit isn't water soluble so running the dishwasher won't help.

It's volatile so leave the dishwasher door open (and nearby windows) and it'll evaporate.

I'm such an idiot, I didn't know that, thank you! I'll open everything up and fingers crossed I'll be able to you it again soon.
