Can you run your dishwasher if your sink is clogged?
Probably not, depends on where the clog is at and how the dishwasher drain is connected. I wouldn't chance it, but the worst that will happen is the sink will fill with the water from the dishwasher.

How do you get rid of a bad smell inside dishwasher?
In most grocery stores, and even in Wal-Mart, where they sell the dishwasher soap, they sell small bottles of dishwasher cleaner. You put the bottle of cleaner in the dishwasher, without the cap, open side down. And you run the dishwasher the way you normally would, but with nothing else in it. When the cycle is done, your dishwasher should be clean and not have any bad odors.
I saw this answer and wanted to post a suggestion. We found that doing this and lots of all the other things wouldn't take the smell away for long. Its always came back. Then I remembered that the inspector had said something about the hose under the sink when we bought our new house. I got out the book and sure enough he noted that the hose between the dishwasher and disposal needed a loop in it 6in higher than the bottom of the sink because we didn't have the vent on top of the sink. So we were getting the smells from the disposal coming into the dishwasher. My husband pulled out the dishwasher and was able to find enough hose to do this and WOW no more smell! Hope you check this out and that its fixes your problem as well.

Why would your house smell like sewer whenever you run the washer or dishwasher?
I suspect that you have a "p" trap in either a floor drain, or possible the laundry tub or a sink somewhere in the house. If you look under the kitchen sink, or a lavatory in the bathroom you can see a p-trap, it's shaped sort of like the curved part of the letter p. The purpose of the p-trap is to trap, or prevent, sewer gasses in the sewer lines from backing up into the house. By design, p-traps catch and hold some water, which blocks the pipe and stops the gas from coming up through the drain. IF you have a floor drain, or a lavatory drain, either of which don't get used enough to keep the water in the trap from evaporating away, leaving the drain pipe open, then when a lot of water is poured or flushed, pumped out of a washer, then that flowing water will push sewer gasses back up through the drain with the dry p-trap. What you are smelling is sewer gas.

How do you get rid of dish soap suds in a dishwasher?
A better way to eliminate suds from a dishwasher is to pour vegetable oil in the dishwasher. Many tips will tell you to use vinegar, but after that failed us, a professional maintenance guy used vegetable oil, and the suds were gone immediately. Then regular automatic dishwasher cleaner will clean out any residual oil.
Tupperware, is one of the greatest inventions in American History. Tupperware is so important because whenever we, Americans, of this generation, need our food to be hot, and stay hot, Tupperware is our Hero.

We conveniently store it in a wonderful Tupperware container!

How do you wash lids hat without a dishwasher?
Wash it by hand; machine washing would destroy the shape of the hat. If its a Top Hat many dry cleaners specialise in cleaning them. There is a plastic hat form that you can buy for the regular brimmed hat. You place the hat in that and then on the top shelf of your dishwasher. Use regular dishwasher soap--not laundry soap. It should keep its shape and color.
