DH put draino in the diswasher

I complained how it wasn't draining right and he thought it was clogged so he put in draino. Now I have suds all over my floor and suds in the dishwasher. How can I fix this??

  • FI says to replace the seals at the bottom of the dishwasher. Run the garbage disposal if you have one.

    This. I'd be concerned about washing my dishes in there after the Draino. You may want to call the number on the Draino bottle to find out what cleaning agents you can use behind it; some of the chemicals may react with cleaning agents. I know you can't mix bleach w/ Draino (well you can, but then you'll have to abandon your house), so beware using a dish detergent that contains bleach. 

    Also, you're going to need to check all the dishwasher hoses as well - the Draino could eat through them. Check the pump assembly too. Tell your husband, for future reference, that the dishwasher drains into the sink line, so if it's not draining quickly to check the sink drain instead.

    I would run it through a lot of cycles before I put a dish in there.

    We ran the dishwasher 10 times last night. I am going to go re-wipe down all of the inside and run it again.
