Being the designated dish washer of my house I consider myself a expert on the subject. Certain types of dishes work alright with a squeeze bottle..... but things like tea pots and pressure cookers have curved tops and getting soap in those places is tricky. with a spray dish washing soap not only can i evenly place the soap but it gets to places hard to reach. Similar to the spray oil used for cooking.-- nomadic_wonderer, Nov 01 2004 I was thinking about this only the other day, the current nozzles are not at all well designed. However.. am I correct in saying the washing up liquid has liquid-crystalline properties so is quite likely to get bunged up?-- neilp, Nov 01 2004 It could happen. But thats a property of liquid soap... squeeze or spray... but atleast it gets to the 'head to reach spots'.-- nomadic_wonderer, Nov 01 2004 I 'spose. Always a fan of high pressure washing of anything and high pressure soap, sure. I was under the impression that dishwashers spray the dishes down with soapy water anyway. +-- sartep, Nov 01 2004 Try using water.-- waugsqueke, Nov 01 2004 I was just wondering yesterday how to clean the spout of my smoothie maker. There is a two inch tube, blocked by a ball valve., I pour water (waugs) through it, but can't be certain I'm getting all the fruity bits out. This could be helpful. also I'd like it to be high pressure-- dentworth, Nov 01 2004 random, halfbakery
