why... would it? -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 16:37 17
- well ... who knows. I've heard that if you put regular dish soap in, it will. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:38 16
  - It won't flood, but if you put dishwashing soap (not dish*washer* soap) in it, you'll have bubbles and a mess everywhere. - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:42 6
    - K, that puts my concerns to rest. (The dishwasher cycle got stopped more than halfway through, but I don't know how much more) - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:43 5
      - You should run your dishwasher once a month empty, with no soap, and pour a bunch of white vinegar in the bottom of the machine and let it run. - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:46 4
        
        I do this with CLR. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 16:48
        
        Never heard of doing this; how much is a "bunch"? -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:47 2

        do that to your coffee pot too -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 17:19
  - If I don't put a match in my fireplace, will it explode? -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 16:41 4
    - If I don't put a **** in my ****, will I get pregnant? -- nm - mara Feb 6, 16:55 2
      - wasn't there a link posted here about this, involving a stabbing? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:57 1
        
        Hee, yes! -- nm - mara Feb 6, 17:02
    - Oh, you have a natural gas fireplace? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:42
  - (So, based on that ... either the dish soap breaks the seal, or lacks a thickening agent. Yeah! Dishwashers use thick water! get upset about THAT!) - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:39 3
    - Dish soap creates foam, which tends to find a way through the seal.......trust me on this :) - MojaveMeg Feb 6, 16:41 2
      - oh yes it does. -- nm - loosilu in hibernation Feb 6, 17:38
      - Word. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:42
