I had used it the other night and had to pull it out from the other bathroom in order to make it work. It was dirty and she putit in the dishwasher with almost nothing else, but I’m a little fucking skeeveed by it.
Edit: thanks all. I’ll run it again with vinegar at the hottest and feel better about it. No divorce. Thanks for your help.

Run the dishwasher in sanitize with like nothing else in it? Might at least make it acceptable in your mind
I think you’re right. I’ll do that thank you. Maybe extra detergent.
You can get dishwasher cleaner, to be used monthly on a hot cycle while empty.
Also, your wife should not do disgusting things. My dad put sandals in once and we shamed him for years.
Also take the filter out and wash it in the sink (unless yours is the filter-less kind)
Some sex toys are dishwasher safe, it’s not a big deal.
(I’m talking about the shitpusher, not about the croc. No idea why you included a dirty toilet in the pic tho.)
I don’t think that’s equivalent.
Many people happily lick the areas where sex toys are used.
Far less people would do so where toilet plungers tend to be applied.

I’m implying those are the same areas.
I’ve never ever used a plunger on a toilet.Fair enough.
I’ve never used one anywhere but a toilet or sink, that I can remember. How does one use it in the boudoir?
I clogged the toilet while visiting a friend’s house at 11 years old. Didn’t know what to do, tried to ignore the problem. When his mum noticed, she fetched me a plunger and sent me back in there to sort it out.
that I can remember
Well that doesn’t sound sussy at all.
Lol at all the people who want to throw out the whole appliance. Wait until they find out how much former piss is in all sources of water, what allowances there are for gross things in prepared food, and what’s on every surface in human environments. Earth is one big mixing pot.
Give it a steralise cycle and it’ll be cleaner than the counters around it, by any objective measure.
I am curious about the almost nothing else bit. What got put in the poo-poo cycle?
Edit: Psychology is another thing, and that’s valid I guess, but man I can’t imagine having disposable dishwasher kind of money.
what’s on every surface in human environments. Earth is one big mixing pot.
Of poop. It’s gonna be poop.
Human, other vertebrates and insect. Secretions and shed tissues from humans, other vertebrates and insects. Fungal spores and natural surface bacteria, mostly harmless unless you’re immune-compromised, both dead and alive. Other microorganisms, dead and alive. Mineral dust and microplastics, if you find either gross. Pathogens carried with the human secretions, hopefully all dead.
Unless you work in semiconductor manufacturing, there’s no such thing as perfectly clean. Even if you do it’s mostly theoretical. For most practical purposes the standard used is something like:
The contaminants are too small and too few to be visible. All pathogenic contaminants are dead.
And I think that’s entirely reasonable. We don’t really have a choice, right?
Your dishwasher uses soap and hot water to clean everything in it and the washer itself.
This is no big deal.
Trust me chances are nastier stuff than your plunger has been in the washer.
Well sometimes stuff gets trapped in behind the door seal, and mold will grow etc. You could harbour bacteria in the door seal. It needs a sanitize cycle and a good wipe around the seals … Probably needs that anyway, mist people don’t bother until the dishwasher starts smelling must after it has finishes a wash and dry
Yea… but that is something that should be happening cyclically not something triggered by the OPs situation.
It’s important that you know this: That’s a shit puller, not a shit pusher.
See, this is one of those inconvenient situations where us Atheists really lack appropriate and proportional ways to express our feelings about things.
“oh your fucking god” works wonders
…That’s genius. Thanks!
yeah, after a while i just started worshiping an obviously made up joke god just so’s i could get good blasphemy back in my life
For all that it is in truth far more terrifying, I freely admit that expressions like “Oh, in the name of False Vacuum Decay” just doesn’t land the same. It’s s shame, really. Modern scientific curses like “may all your Li-Ion batteries grow centimeter long dendrites in seconds” are much more fearsome than they immediately appear.
I mean, “may your tap water turn to dioxygen difluoride while you’re taking a shower” would make even Satan go, “okay, stop, just… Jesus, stop.”
Yeah if I start cursing people with foof showers I’ll get put on worse lists
Similar to the blood-brain barrier, we have a kitchen-bathroom barrier policy. Tools for each space should never cross, even cleaning tools. So even brushes for the sinks are separate.
What exactly is it that you are Asking Lemmy?
Um. What would you do? Sorry if it seemed like I was bragging.
Where’s my Lemmy Gold when I need it
Fake your death
Grow a beard
Change your name
Move to Brazil
Etc
Buy a new dishwasher
I’d look at her like she were an idiot and tell her to use the faucet in the tub.
Note that none of the words in the above sentence include posting this on the internet or asking what I should do because I’m a grown adult that can manage handling minor annoyances on my own. I acknowledge that this concept may seem foreign to people under the age of 25.
Good lord, they shared an amusing situation and made more than a few people’s day with a laugh I’m sure … chill.
I’m sure there are appropriate places for that. In this case, an “amusing situation” was posted in a forum called “Ask Lemmy” without a question. Could we also start posting pornography here? Can we post recipes? How to guides to perform magic tricks? When questions are no longer relevant to the Ask Lemmy forum, when the first rule of the forum is no longer enforced, does any line exist?
This is the shit that forced me to leave reddit. I guess I should just stop using the internet though since everyone just gets to post amusing situations (in your opinion - I fail to find minor annoyances amusing) anywhere and everywhere.
Lol came to say the same thing
It’s actually not a big deal.
Run it with vinegar. Full a bowl with vinegar and place it on the top rack and run it with the hottest steam setting. 100% sterile inside afterward.
If she ran it with a very hot heated dry setting with the plunger, it’s possible it’s all disinfected anyway. Lots of people used the dish washer to sterilize jars for canning. The steam from the drying cycle is hot enough and last long enough to pasteurize everything.

Household Dishwashers do not sterilise, they only sanitise at best (with a 65° (150°F)). For sterilisation of all microorganisms including spores they would need to heat up to 120°C (250°F) for several minutes.
That being said you most likely breath in your own poop particles all the time, so sanitation may be enough.
it’s part of our microflora that floats around us.
It’s just a social convention.
A mere faux pas.
- why call it a shit pusher? It doesn’t push shit
- why post online instead of just talking to her? Unless you’re doing both
- why did she not just rinse it off? What’s the point in deep cleaning a plunger when it’s going back into a toilet eventually anyways?
I’m a little fucking skeevee to buy it
- maybe it’s just me, but I can’t figure out what this means. You’re too skeeved out to buy the fact that it was ok to do?
Skeeved by the idea that the plunger that had poop in/on it was in his dish washer, where his dishes go, where his food goes before its in his mouth.
Skeeved by it, got it, thanks! My pedantry for spelling was overriding my reading comprehension skills 😆
For me personally it’s the “almost nothing else” that went into the dishwasher with the plunger that truly pushed the narrative into holy shit territory.
What, you’re going to run the dishwasher with only one item in it?
the bathroom dishwasher, yeah.
Thank you for my morning laugh (literally out loud at that)
almost nothing else…? Cmon OP, you’ve gotta elaborate there. What ended up taking a swim with the turd stick?
Great title.
I would have used the opportunity to clean my toothbrush
