10 Things You Can Clean in Your Dishwasher Besides Dishes

dishesCleaning sucks. And since you can’t even hire nude maids anymore without getting ripped off, you’ve gotta do it yourself.

Because cleaning is low on my list of stuff I want to spend a lot of time on (it’s right below Take Girlfriend Shopping for Jeans), I asked the guys over at PartSelect.com for some shortcuts. Turns out a lot of stuff you usually clean by hand, can be tossed in the dishwasher. (Although they do sell replacement parts for damaged appliances, so this could all be a ploy, but I’m sure it’s legit.)

Hubcaps and Wheel Covers
Don’t spend hours scrubbing off the road grime and brake dust. Run them on the pots and pans cycle for a deep cleaning.

Baseball Hats
A little dirt adds character, but when you can’t see the team logo anymore, time for some cleaning. Place the hat on the top rack to help retain its shape. (Several companies also sell plastic frames you can put the hat in.) Running the normal cycle will give the hat the surface cleaning that it needs.

Keyboards
I don’t want to know how your keyboard got that sticky, but… Pop out the keys and put them in the utensil container. Lay the keyboard face down on the top rack and wrap the USB connection jack tightly. Run the wash on the normal cycle. Let it all dry completely before you put the keys back on, and your keyboard will be squeaky clean and germ free.

Pet and Children’s Toys
Sergeant McBarkster may be a dog, but as your best friend, he deserves to chew on a clean toy. Any toy that is hard plastic and not battery operated is dishwasher safe. Run them on the normal cycle to get rid of dirt and germs.

Plastic Flip Flops, Rubber Boots and Crocs
You’re sweating in them all summer and they could use some de-funking. Add a little baking soda to the wash and not only will you cut the ground-in dirt and freshen your footwear, but you’ll also give the dishwasher a deep cleaning that it needs.

Sports Equipment
Hockey padding, kneepads and shin guards can be cleaned and sterilized in the dishwasher. Just don’t use detergent or the dry cycle.

Plastic, Metal and Glass Wall Shelves, Refrigerator Shelving and Storage Bins
All are dishwasher safe and can be cleaned on the normal cycle. Now you can get rid of that mysterious brown goo in the meat drawer.

Hand Tools and Garden Tools
A man is judged by the cleanliness of his tools. Providing that there isn’t any rust or too much dirt built up on them, they can be washed on the normal cycle. Be sure to dry the tools when they are finished to prevent rusting.

Broom Head and Dustpan
Years of sweeping up dog hair and potato chip crumbs can take a toll on a broom. All plastic types are dishwasher safe and will be revived after a run through the normal cycle.

Household Fans
Keeps you cool in the heat, but collects dust like Brad and Angelina collect babies. Take the faceplate off and lay it on the bottom shelf. Run it on the normal cycle, dry it off and the fan will be clean and dust free.

Prince vs. Radiohead in YouTube Clip Debate

WASHINGTON — After word spread that Prince covered Radiohead’s “Creep” at Coachella, the tens of thousands who couldn’t be there ran to YouTube for a peek. Everyone was quickly denied _ even Radiohead.

All videos of Prince’s unique rendition of Radiohead’s early hit were quickly taken down, leaving only a message that his label, NPG Records, had removed the clips, claiming a copyright violation. But the posted videos were shot by fans and, obviously, the song isn’t Prince’s.

In a recent interview, Thom Yorke said he heard about Prince’s performance from a text message and thought it was “hilarious.” Yorke laughed when his bandmate, guitarist Ed O’Brien, said the blocking had prevented him from seeing Prince’s version of their song.

“Really? He’s blocked it?” asked Yorke, who figured it was their song to block or not. “Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment.”

Yorke added: “Well, tell him to unblock it. It’s our … song.”

YouTube prohibits the posting of copyrighted material. If the site receives a complaint from a copyright owner, it will in most cases remove the video(s). Whether the same could be done for a company not holding a copyright is less clear, but Yorke’s argument would seem to bear some credence according to YouTube’s policies. YouTube, which is owned by Google, declined to comment.

Prince also did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

The dispute was an interesting twist in debates over digital ownership, held between two major acts with differing views on music and the Internet. Radiohead famously released their most recent album, “In Rainbows,” as a digital download with optional pricing. They also have a channel on YouTube.

When Prince performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., on April 26, he prohibited the standard arrangement of allowing photographers to shoot near the stage during the first three songs of his set. Instead, he had a camera crew filming his performance.

Prince, who founded NPG Records in 1993, has been innovative when it comes to music distribution, too. He released his 1997 album, “Crystal Ball,” on the Internet and in 2006 was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Webbys. In 2007, he gave away copies of his disc “Planet Earth” in a British Sunday newspaper.

But the Purple One has also shut down his official Web site and in September of last year said he would sue YouTube and eBay for not filtering unauthorized content.

Prince fans have organized to urge him to relent in his legal fights to control images and photographs of himself. As of Thursday, the most popular YouTube clip about Prince playing “Creep” is an expletive-laden rant from Sam Conti Jr., who describes himself as a “former Prince fan.”
