A man has made a startling discovery after recording the inside workings of his dishwasher, prompting him to advise others.
Many individuals, like yourself, may have pondered what exactly happens inside the appliance during a wash cycle.
Rather than dismissing the curiosity, one man chose to document the process with a camera, revealing some surprising insights.
The YouTube channel povsadventures had previously captured footage of a dishwasher in action by illuminating it with a light and filming the interior while it was loaded with dishes.
Upon revealing his findings, the video’s comment section was rife with viewers unsure how to react to the unexpected insight.
He has now repeated the experiment and felt compelled to share a cautionary message with others.
In his initial video, he demonstrated how his dishwasher managed to clean several soiled plates, but discovered something unpleasant in the process.
The dishes were being sprayed with brown water, which then accumulated at the machine’s base.
The video’s narrator explained the purpose behind the experiment: “I put a camera in a dishwasher a few months back, and tens of thousands of people commented with concern of the not-so-clear water color.”
Commenters on the previous video shared their thoughts: “Bro got the dishwasher hooked up to his septic tank,” joked one user.
Another remarked: “Thank you for helping me see reasons why hand washing is best.”
A third viewer added: “I am glad I was not the only one who was shocked by the brown water… thank you for sharing anyway.”
Another comment read: “After seeing it from the inside, I’m concerned about whether the dishes are actually getting cleaned.”
The murky water in the first video even led some to declare they would stick to handwashing forever.
Determined to uncover the reason behind the murky water, he conducted a second experiment.
Using additional cameras and a single plate adorned with a ketchup smiley face, he set out to discover the cause.
For the first twenty minutes, he expressed feeling hopeless as the machine ‘cleaned’ his plate with brown water.
He concluded that the machine recycles the water to be eco-friendly, and it wasn’t until the last few minutes of the cycle that the water became clear.
Believing that his dishwasher uses the same water that initially rinses the dirty dishes, he advised rinsing your dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.
This practice can help ensure that the water remains clear and clean throughout the wash cycle.
