Dishwasher Detergent Has Bleach In It
I learned it the hard way.
A couple weeks ago, I popped the cap off the dishwasher detergent and some splattered on me. I didn’t think much of it, but a couple hours later I noticed one of my favorite t-shirts had pink spots on it.
It surprised me, but I knew immediately what caused it. Just to be sure, I checked the dishwasher detergent ingredients and there it was, “Chlorine Bleach.” I knew we had another brand, so I checked that one too — same thing!
That was news to me and I asked a few other people if they knew dishwasher detergent contained bleach and it was news to them too. The question is why?
Satellite Dishes are Gray Because…
They are primed for painting. That’s right, it’s not just any gray: it’s primer gray. That means your dish can blend in or compliment your house if you paint it.
As for the type of paint, many people report good results with rust-oleum and Krylon Fusion (or similar).
If your dish is not gray then you may want to prime it first.
Tips:
- do not paint over the LNB (plastic cap at the focal point of the dish – see picture)
- only use satin/flat paint (not glossy or metallic)
- do not move the dish while painting it (unless you plan to re-aim it)
- do not hurt yourself
