Urban Grimoire: Dishwasher Spell

Obviously it would be wonderful if magical people's washing up matched the Hollywood image.


However in reality a dishwasher also has magical uses. 

There are essentially two sorts of witches - the ones that do jar spells and the ones that don't - and dishwasher magic will obviously appeal to those who do. Its obvious magical use is of cleaning and washing: just put a heat- and waterproof magical link in there and you're good to go. You could even do it with your dishes.

When you do a cycle to clean out the actual washer itself, to my mind the magical use would be slightly different. Obviously detergent is never actually pleasant but I personally use white vinegar to clean out the pipes. I hate vinegar and so the magical environment in the washer would be distinctly unpleasant rather than cleaning alone. You could of course use a commercial cleaner but I have never felt the need myself.

And at this point I would like to welcome Vincent Price to demonstrate another use of a dishwasher.

  2. I remain neutral on the business of washing clothes and dishes. One of the things that I loved about being in India is that when you went to a restaurant your "plate" was a large, clean banana leaf. After you were finished it and any remaining food on it went to compositing. Brilliant! If only we could find a Northern Hemisphere equivalent leaf.
