We checked into a timeshare outside of Quebec City on Sunday and as per my usual procedure, after we unloaded the car, I took all the glasses, cups, dishes and cutlery out of the cupboards and drawers and put them in the dishwasher. I always check to see if there is any rinse agent in there and if not I add some out of my 'timeshare box'. While the dishwasher is running we go grocery shopping. After we returned I started dinner then unloaded the dishwasher while dinner was cooking. The dishes looked dirtier than when I put them in! There were bits of I don't know what, maybe paper, stuck on them, laying on the indents of the cup bottoms and the cups still had coffee stains on them. I pulled out the bottom rack to get at the filter. When I pulled it out I was shocked and a bit grossed out! It was totally caked with 'gunk'. It looked like paper mache mixed with food bits. Yuck! I scrapped 1/4 inch or so of crud off the filter with a kitchen knife then used a supplied dish brush to clean the screen. I also wiped out the cavity the filter sits in and the cover for it. I reloaded the dishes and ran a regular cycle and everything came out clean. Do the cleaners not check the filters? This isn't the first time I have had to clean one but this was by far the dirtiest one I have ever seen, ever. Most just have a bit of stuff on the screen or they are clean.
Then this evening I had a couple of pots and a frying pan that would not fit in the dishwasher so I decided I'd just wash them by hand in the sink. I pulled the plastic dish drainer out of the cupboard and it was filthy! It was mostly beige/brown instead of white and the bottoms of the 2 sections to put cutlery in were full of food bits and slime or mold. The drain board wasn't too bad but still needed a good scrub. I filled the sink and placed the rack and drain board in to wash and scrub them before I would use them. Now the drain board and rack are nice and white, just like new!
Rant over!
