lopburi3 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The problem is getting the washing materials. Very overpriced in supermarkets. Home Pro has some that is better value but sometimes do not seem to have. Be aware rats love to eat the wires in dishwashers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read where the OP asked about "washing materials" for a dishwasher. Did you read that in his OP? I once saw a dishwasher in Baen and Beyon (sp?) store. Sorry about spelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware rats love to eat the wires in dishwashers.Also cockroaches love to build nests around the washer due to food and water supply. Free dining basically If you get to the west occasionally then best to scoop up a few years of detergent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketu Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Thanks guys for your response. The Home Pro store in Hua Hin said they didn't have them but I will check their site online. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a great selection and decent prices. You are correct about the supplies. Here in Thailand, they are way overpriced. I buy all my supplies from Shopee.com and AliExpress for half the price. You get free shipping and no customs or VAT for orders under B1000. Shopee has a better shipping program, takes about 5 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to the water that drains into you sewer or where your grey water goes? I have my DW 4 years now and no roaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatette Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Powerbuy has many. My Siemens has been going strong for ~ a decade. No roaches or rats ????. Buy tablets and salt from various supermarkets and use vinegar for the rinse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay her 100 baht every other day to clean up my kitchen. It takes her about 20 minutes so she is making OK money. She is a 35 year old ex bar girl from Pattaya who lives in Hua Hin now. My girlfriend thinks I am a good house keeper. Every time she comes over she says "You horny?" So my dishwasher has Wash, Rinse, Dry and You Horny Cycle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Check powerbuy online site . The online prices are often a lot cheaper than in store, plus a much larger selection, and they deliver it to your home. Also don't forget to use the codes for an additional discount when checking out if the machine has one. https://www.powerbuy.co.th/en/home-appliance/dishwashers Edited December 14, 2018 by rwill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatette Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I usually get tablets at Foodland (since it's very close to home) but you can get at most big supermarkets (altho not BigC) and Villa. I rarely use the dishwasher salt (have used only 1 1/2 packs in 10+ years) as there's no lime in the water to clear. I put vinegar in the rinse tray, although probably don't have to as the tablets are supposed to ensure no streaks, and it leaves no residual smell. I also, btw, use it for the rinse cycle in my washing machine as is much better at cutting soap suds than stinky fabric conditioner. it leaves no smell. Here's a randomly Googled guide on vinegar as a cleaning aid: https://www.stain-removal-101.com/how-to-use-vinegar-as-automatic-dishwasher-rinse-aid.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The salt is to lower the water hardness. But there is no need to buy expensive dishwasher salt - just buy normal market sea salt (which is almost free) which people use for cooking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Asians I know feel the same way. I'm guilty of this too, most asians feel like dish washers don't wash dishes clean enough, hahaha. But it does make a nice and big rack for drying.
