Today’s topic is a money-making idea—and it's all about your dishwasher.
If you’ve ever run a load of dishes with a little extra gunk on them—grease, food scraps, whatever—you know how disgusting it is to clean out the filter afterward. Most modern dishwashers have a trap at the bottom, a sort of drain plug that collects the junk so it doesn’t clog your plumbing. And after a few runs, it fills up with all that mess.
To clean it? You have to reach your hand into the back of the machine, yank it out, and scrub off the filth. It's gross. It’s slimy. And it’s the reason some people would rather just wash dishes by hand.
So here’s the solution: a disposable dishwasher screen.
A thin, form-fitting plastic or mesh screen that lays over the drain area, seals lightly to the base with removable adhesive, and catches all the food debris. After the load is finished, you simply lift it out by two small tabs, fold the tabs together to form a pocket (never touching the gunk), and toss the whole thing in the trash.
No scrubbing. No sticking your hand into week-old spaghetti slime. Just peel, pocket, and pitch.
Now, let’s talk scalability.
These screens could be sold in packs—ten for a dollar. Make them stretchable or cut-to-fit, so they work with any dishwasher model. Millions of dishwashers are in use every day. That’s a huge potential market. Once people use them once, they’ll never go back to hand-scraping a filter again.
Cheap to produce. Easy to use. A daily-use product with built-in repeat customers.
So here it is, loyal listeners: a million-dollar idea. And if one of you brilliant inventors out there makes it happen, I hope you’re generous enough to remember where you heard it—and send your favorite Mad Scientist Supreme just 10% of the profits.
That's all I ask. Just enough for a private island and a fleet of solar-powered submarines.
Thank you, and good luck.
This has been the Mad Scientist Supreme, signing off.
