I really love my Shop Vac today!

[rugerla1]

My daughter was trying to help out this morning, God love her for that. Loaded the dishwasher, first time she's used one, and REALLY wanted the dishes clean! Lemme tell ya, Dawn 2x concentrated will do it, especially when BOTH trays are filled with it! :lol:

Ha.  That happened to a good college buddy of mine.  Had some sorority girls do laundry at his apartment in exchange for them cleaning the kitchen...why sorority girls who pay thousands of dollars a year to be in one, can't pay $3 to do laundry at the sorority house baffles me...but anyways.  I guess they had never loaded a dishwasher before and used Dawn Dish Detergent...needless to say they ended up w/ a much cleaner kitchen floor than they had anticipated.  

 

Did you take pics!?!

I wanted to take pics but was trying to hurry. Thank goodness it only ran 10 minutes and only covered 1/3 of the kitchen floor. The bubbles completely filled the dishwasher obviously. I'd just gotten home from taking the trash to the dump and needless to say the wife was ready for me to fix it haha. Our daughter was upset over it, but we explained that MANY adults have done it too, and at least she got that one time she'll never forget over with while 10 years old. This is the first dishwasher we've owned since she was born, always washed in the sink. So not like she could have known the procedure after seeing it for a month. Shes okay now, and loved using the Shop Vac to suck up bubbles, then got bored and left with Momma to go shopping lmao. Edited June 6, 2015 by rugerla1

Happened to me too once. We never had a dishwasher when I was growing up, so I didn't know any better. It was our first apartment and my first dirty dishes. By the time I waded thru the wall-to-wall bubbles in my tiny kitchen to turn off the machine, they were 2 ft deep and my 2 yr old was playing in them, having the time of her life. I'd have killed for a shop vac at that moment, LOL.

:lol: If we had TGO back then, I'd gladly have loaned you mine brother!
I bought this thing from TSC last year and it's the first time I've owned one. Used it in the garage quite a few times, also as a blower (awesome feature!), and now for bubble blowout 2015. Can't believe I'd never owned one before! Worth their weight in gold. I knew better than to get a little one, I got the biggest one they had.

No harm done and it sounds like a family bonding experience. Great story, thanks for sharing it.

Definitely no harm done, learned and laughed together....then Dad cleaned it up while the girls shopped.:) Wouldn't trade it for anything. Glad to share it for a good laugh.
I did have to run about 6 3 minute cycles, then stop to vacuum afterm eachieve one. Finally it was good enough to run a short cycle all the way through. Shop Vac is on the back porch drying out, just finished mowing the grass, getting a drink before I get the ol Shindaiwa out and attack some weeds with a vicious force :rock: Edited June 6, 2015 by rugerla1

A lot of kids today would say, "who".

Exactly

Yeah, probably most unfortunately, but she knows who they are. She also loves to watch Tom & Jerry! Pretty sure Jerry would put Dawn in the dishwasher and blame it on Tom :)
