O.M.G. I just witnessed...

someone in the break room squirting Windex all purpose cleaner with Chlorox into their travel coffee mug and then putting it into the community dishwasher. Tongue Tied

I was too dumbfounded to even say anything...but I will not be washing my dishes in there any longer.

ETA: Do you think I need to report this to facilities or something? Are people going to get sick?

  • While this is weird, no, no one will die.

    A dishwasher rinses things multiple times. The amount of cleaner on one sprayed mug is negligible.

  • That's really gross and I can't imagine ever doing that myself, but I think your stuff will be fine in there now and in the future.

  • Must have been one dirty mug!  I would think you are fine, just maybe wait a cycle to use any of the dishes if that makes you feel better... and don't accept a dinner invitation from that co-worker :)

  • i also don't think that the windex that they sprayed in their mug would have any effect on your dishes/mugs/etc.  I do completely agree that that is totally weird and pretty nasty though.....not to be judgy, but i'd stay away from any food they bring in!

  • That is weird. Travel mugs shouldn't be washed in a DW.

    Ditto-

    I've made the mistake of putting them in the dw and then the gross water gets inside.  Barf.
