The gunk and the grime, it gathers with time...

Have you ever looked at something you touch on a regular basis and gone "Ew!! Just... Ew!"

I dare you to look at the underside of the handle to your dishwasher.


Maybe you're lucky and someone in your household has thought to clean it in the half decade or however long you've had your house, but I, alas, have no one who has lived with me who would clean such a detail aside from myself, and I only just noticed it. Ew. We are selling the house soon and when we do it will have a much cleaner dishwasher front and handle than it did half an hour ago. As an aside, they should really make dishwasher knobs easily removable for cleaning like they often do for stoves and ovens. The surface of the handle that glides over the body of the dishwasher as it locks and unlocks is likewise almost impossible to get to.

I never thought much about our dishwasher, but it sounds like kudos are in order to the designer because the handle on ours is just a brass bar with no place for gunk to crawl into and hide.

As much as I love my iMac, the person who designed a white and clear keyboard that doesn't disassemble gracefully needs to be visited by rabid weasels in the dead of night and taken to the houses of those of us who have one and made to clean the doggone things.
