To hate the dishwasher taste

[LovingLivingLife]

Obviously not the dishwasher itself (which I haven't had the pleasure of tasting yet) but the taste it leaves on certain things?

Biggest offenders seem to be kids cups, any plastic bottles, bottles with straws, tupperware and generally anything not ceramic. They all seem to have a chemical lemony taste.

Can it be undone? Or am I losing my marbles and imagining it as my DH seems to think?

Folding problem solved OP.
I saw something like this years ago but it was the size of a large wardrobe.
Maybe replace the dishwasher with this.

No it doesnt

You're not meant to put bamboo in the dishwasher

I'm in the habit of giving everything a quick rinse before I use them out of cupboards. My mum always did the same when I was growing up, she reckoned you could always taste the cleaning product used otherwise.

Use Ecover rarely, mainly bio d ( health food shops or online), I refuse to use the more toxic stuff!
Never have this issue

I tried loads and settled on smol, no taste and clean well. I don't put any plastics in, though.

Throw the man away, not the dishwasher. Why can’t he follow simple instruction from a reasonable request?

I hate the smell and feel of things washed in dishwashers. Prefer to handwash.

I bought a lovely new dishwasher in my last house and barely used it.

I also hate the smell when a dishwasher is opened.

I hate the dishwasher, I hate the smell the taste and that it doesnt even clean things that well no matter what we do with cleaning it and rinse aid etc, its a bosch so not some crappy brand either. We dont use lemon flavoured either and I can still detect it on plates and pans etc

OH refuses to wash up things by hand and if I wash things by hand he puts them in the dishwasher after, everything gets ruined, cracked, stained, scratched, go dull etc

Horrible things, wish they'd never been invented

I've found Ecover and Sainsburys Greencare tablets don't do this. Fairy is the worst offender. It's gross.

@bellac11 I hate all those things too. But I also hate wasting time washing up so just gotta suck it up 😂

Ceramic things and anything with straws should not go in the dishwasher,! The former gets ruined and the latter doesn't wash and rinser effectively

What on earth do you put in a dishwasher if not ceramics? Sure, not ones with special glazes but normal crockery marked as dishwasher safe is fine so long as you use a decent brand of tablet.

I completely agree with you! I deal with it by NEVER getting lemon scented dishwasher tablets/rinse aid/cleaner and by not putting any plastic things in the dishwasher ever.

My husband thinks I am over sensitive to smells/tastes. I think he has something wrong with him that he can't smell/taste the dishwasher nastiness! I very much look forward to telling him about this thread.

I agree with your DH @DilemmaDelilah.

We use normal 3 in 1 tablets (Aldi/Lidl) or Finish if they're on a good offer and I've never noticed any 'dishwasher taste'.

Oh, is the 'dishwasher taste' like scented sanitary towels when Mumsnetters can tell if a woman at the opposite end of a large supermarket is wearing one?

This is not something I can say I’ve ever experienced. We use ecozone dishwasher tablets and usually ecover or bio d rinse aid, none of which are scented I think.

lidl sells unscented tabs.
cheap
good/clean result
