The long-running series in which readers answer other readers’ questions on subjects ranging from trivial flights of fancy to profound scientific and philosophical concepts
Because it’s not as interesting or hypnotic. If you put your dishes in a washing machine, you’d definitely want to see what happened, but if you put your clothes in a dishwasher … meh.So that you can see if there are clothes in it. You wouldn’t want to leave damp clothes sitting in a washing machine for too long after a washing cycle. It doesn’t matter if you leave clothes sitting in a dryer at the end of its cycle.Answer is simple: there is unending fascination in other people’s dirty washing.
Only tangentially related to the question, but agitating clothes in a washing machine is a big part of how they work. The transparent window is shaped to help this agitation. Dishwashers rely on chemistry – it’s the formulation of the detergent that makes them work. Dishwasher detergent is powerful stuff. If you leave plates soaking in a bowl with a solution of dishwasher detergent they will come out clean, requiring only a rinse.
Second, dishwasher tablets are horrible things compared with laundry detergent: they contain abrasives as well as detergents. If you think what happens to a plastic beaker or melamine bowl if you put it in the dishwasher, it’s not hard to imagine how long a window would remain transparent. Third, even if your clothes are seriously filthy, the water swishing around inside a washing machine isn’t anything like as horrible as what’s swishing around inside a dishwasher, as anyone will know who has ever had a container turn itself right-side-up in the wash and come out full of dishwasher water. Being able to see your dishes being washed would put you off your lunch.
