You may have experienced this before, which results in a sudsy mess on the kitchen floor. Typically, an overflowing dishwasher occurs when someone puts regular dish soap in the dishwasher. So, what do you do to fix the problem fast? Follow these tips below:

  • Cancel the cycle so the dishwasher drains the water.
  • Place towels on floor under the dishwasher to catch suds and water.
  • Then remove all the dishes and put them in the sink
  • Slide out the bottom rack and liberally pour table salt on top of the suds to break down the foam. Run a quick rinse-only cycle and check for remaining suds.
  • Once the foam starts to dissipate, toss a tray or so of ice cubes onto the remaining suds and allow them to melt. Push the cancel button to drain the melted ice. Run another quick rinse cycle and repeat the ice cube-rinse sequence until all the suds are gone.
