Hey everybody! I've been thinking about what a dishomat would look like. It would look similar to a laundromat, but except with rows and rows of coin or card operated dishwashers. They'd also have a vending machine full of dishwasher detergents and rinse aids. I'd also love to see baskets where the dirty dishes can be compartmentalized and safely held during transport to and from the dishomat. In the back of the dishomat they'd have these dishwashers that could wash the crates that would wash, rinse and dry the crates they came in, and also have tons of them on hand. It'll smell similar to a laundromat, but with the smell of Cascade and Finish and the sounds of tons of dishwashers operating. Oh, and the dishwashers would have powerful pumps and built in garbage/food disposers that would take whatever customers throw at them. Please feel free to share your ideas of what a dishomat would look, smell, and sound like. Thank you. By the way, the dishwashers would have glass windows in the door for viewing of the dishes washing without breaking. I had a dream about that. Believe it or not, business was booming. In spite of the fact I had a dishwasher to use, others didn't and just couldn't stand washing dishes by hand, let alone all day. As my dream continued, I was at the BSM and their dishwasher broke. I said to the students and staff, "Don't worry about it, I'll take them over to the dish o'mat to get washed." Needless to say, the staff and the students just started laughing.
The next day, I gather the bsm's, my friend's and my dishes up and tooke them to the dish o'mat and was greeted with a friendly attendant when I walked in. The dishwashers were huge and were Hobart dishwashers with windows. These were also card operated as well and you could smell the warm, damp and fresh aroma of Cascade and Finish and their rinse aid counterparts in the air. I loaded everything up with the help of the attendant, who made sure the machines were fully replenished with the detergent and rinse aid in the vending machines in the corner of the building. Mind you, I brought my own so I took care of that which was optional. My detergent of choice was Finish Ultimate in the black and gold containers. I also brought a big bottle of Finish Jet Dry with me. I did wash my hands at a handwasher nearby before inserting my card. Just as I was about to select my cycle and options, my friend walks up and is like, "Hey brother, I'm sorry I couldn't get you for noon lunch as I get out of class at 11:50. It totally slipped..." before he could even finish, he broke out into laughter as he saw his dishes along with his roomates' in the machine next to mine, which was in the middle while the BSM's were to the left. I selected "perfect", which was the automatic cycle in these industrial/commercial dishwashers that did the dishes in an hour, which drying boost was on by default. All you could hear was water flying everywhere, hitting the dishes in a rhythmic pattern and see water turning different colors and steam through the window, and you could feel how warm the glass window got.
My friend Caden was litterally cracking up at this point when he saw me looking at the water striking the plates he had the shrimp Alfredo casserole on, among other things. Mine had similar content, among with bowls that had salsa, salad, and all kinds of the most disgusting food I could put in it. An hour later, no spots, no streaks, no nothing was left behind.
If anything was left behind, it was nothing but pure shine glowing through the windows and you could feel steam billowing out when you opened the door. Best of all, you got an extra set of clean dishes if the ones you brought with you ever broke as an incentive. In the back where the laundromat dryers would normally be, you'd find a wall of dishracks and silverware baskets and dish warmers for auxiliary drying for plastics.
An hour later when I got back to the BSM with super clean dishes, the staff and students couldn't believe how shiny everything was.
I said to them, "I told you they would get clean!" When they saw my receipt that said "clean and shine dishomat", they just couldn't stop laughing. They thought it was the funniest thing they've ever heard of. As the dream continued, more and more people without dishwashers and big families, let alone college students started flocking to clean and shine dishomat. It was a huge building full of card operated dishwashers. In the end, the dishes were returned and assorted safely.
The crates that held the dirty dishes did get cleaned after being exchanged with fresh ones. Those dishwashers could take anything you threw at them and always cleaned themselves. It didn't matter. Even when the attendant checked the filters, nothing was there. Not even a stray pea or noodle or a sliver of meat was left behind. NOTHING! Oh, and the dishwashers had stainless steel all throughout, even down to the spray arms which were huge and moved a huge wall of water around. There was no cavitation, and the fill and drain were fast. They sounded like typhoons when washing, even with a bit of suds in the dishwasher detergents like Cascade Platinum Plus especially in the mountain scent and Finish Ultimate. I wouldn't care if I wanted to use them or not. I still hate washing dishes by hand. Oh, and they could do pots, pans, and casserole dishes as well as everyday dishes and silverware. None of the spray arms were ever clogged. Ever! In fact, the more they were used, the more beautiful it looked. The engineers thought of that idea. When Speed Queen found out about it, they decided to jump in on the dishwasher camp. More and more dishomats started popping up everywhere.[this post was last edited: 1/30/2025-14:32]
