Why can you not use Laundry Pods in a Dishwasher?
-
Laundry pods are specifically designed to clean clothes, garments and fabrics, not items that come directly from food.
-
They produce excessive suds that can overflow and damage your dishwasher.
-
Certain ingredients may corrode internal dishwasher components.
-
Residues left behind are not food-safe and may pose health risks.

What to do if you have accidentally washing pods in the dishwasher
Stop the Dishwasher Immediately
Immediately stop the dishwasher to minimize soap overflow and protect the machine from potential damage.
Open the Door Carefully
Slowly open the door to release pressure and avoid soap overflow spilling onto the floor.
Remove Excess Suds and Water
Use a towel or sponge to soak up foam and water from the bottom of the dishwasher.
Run a Rinse Cycle with Cold Water
Run an empty rinse cycle to flush out leftover detergent and bubbles without activating more suds.
Clean the Filter and Interior
Please take out the dishwasher filter and thoroughly rinse it, then gently clean the inside surfaces to ensure no detergent buildup remains.
Check for Any Performance Issues
After cleaning, observe the next wash cycle for unusual noise, drainage problems, or suds.
