To not LIKE that my husband just washed his slippers in the dishwasher.

[QuintessentialShadows]

It is not very hygienic. What if they melted??

Maybe you should teach him to use the washing machine!

Is he going to dry them in the microwave now?

sounds something like my dh would do he use to mircowave clothes dry,went to pick ds1 up from nursery 1 day and they asked me not to send him in burnt clothes,cue confused look from me and getting ds and seeing what they ment was last time he ever did that!and to make it worse it was ds fave toy story top:(

Was he still wearing them? It is not so bad. One MN's knows of a woman who washes her loo brush in her dishwasher.

I would refuse an invite to dinner there, but slippers....................heck NO - that is just horrible!!

I'm amazed at what other people wash in dishwashers. Dog bowls, dish cloths, candles (all on MN) and horse stirrups - but that last one was on How Clean is Your House.

Just yuk.

No way, were there dishes in there too?

Loo brush is the worst yet, redrubyshoes!

On embarrassing bodies there was a woman doing self colonic irrigations and washing her BUM FUNNEL in the dishwasher. Words fail me

Why not dog bowl or dishcloths?

I just opened the dishwasher to add something, and found it had already run with the breakfast dishes, and a pair of nike rubber slippers

I guess the only thing I can do is run it again on super high temperature.

*washes dog & cat bowls in dishwasher

BizArre behavour from your dh op, was he pissed

No, he said he stepped on a slug on the patio, and washed the slippers under the hose, then in hot fairy liquid in kitchen, then detolled them using detoll wipes, yet still was not satisfied they were clean enough, so he put them in the dishwasher....

The fact that he wears slippers would upset me more, I have a weird hatred of men in slippers and I've no idea why.

Our floors are hard and cold.

We dont wear shoes at home. We like our toes to breathe.

We are mad, arent we?

I too absolutely hate men wearing slippers. And barred them for a long time. But gave up in the end.

They are nike sports slippers, or sandals, even.
I wear open sandals. (not slippers)

It sounds like they were fairly clean when he put them in, personally I don't think I'd worry that much, but ask him not to do it again.

BUM FUNNELL!

Just run it on a hot wash and it'll clean itself out. Dishwashers run at 90+ degreesC. Which probably makes it the best place to clean those rubber sports slippers - they get rank (or is that just my DH's feet?).

Unless you were planning on using it to poach a salmon when you found the shoes...

Leave the bastard!

No salmon poaching plans here.

(He uses them with socks)

But yes, I guess they were quite clean when he put them in.

It just felt absurd, open the machine, steam bellowing out, to reveal a pair of slippers.

I'd wash the cat bowls in the dishwasher if we had could afford a dishwasher. Is that really any worse than washing them in the sink where we wash the dishes?

lol Banal

I put the dogs bowl and dishcloth in the dishwasher
