Keep in mind you must run an additional wash cycle as the soap did not clean the dishes the first time.
Things You Will Need
-
Open the dispenser lid and gently pry up the hard chunk of detergent with a butter knife or spoon. If the entire block does not come out in one piece, break it up into chunks.
-
Gather the detergent with a paper towel and discard it. Since the detergent has already hardened, there is no use trying to re-use it.
-
Pour fresh detergent into the soap dispenser, close the lid and run another wash cycle.
The Drip Cap
