Obligatory dishwasher explanation video from everybody's favourite fan of latent heat.
I love that jazzy guy.

A lot of people pre wash their dishes, and a lot of older dishwashers need some degree of pre washing, though modern ones shouldn’t and it’s more water efficient to run a full load in the dishwasher than to do it by hand. Doing both is the worst of both worlds.
I can’t wait to have a dishwasher again.
US dishwashers specifically need to have the hot water run at the kitchen tap so that the first fill has hot water. They don't turn on the heating element for that first gallon and so it is cold water that isn't doing a heck of a lot.

Fabric softener isn’t soap tho, it’s like the opposite, a bunch of greasy conditioners and relaxants and fragrances designed to cling to your clothes even after rinsing.

Brand written big
What the product is written super tiny
If I could enshrine 1(one) regulation into law it would be to reverse that.
Not to mention, the vast majority of "recommended" amounts are double or quadruple the amount actually needed. You can safely use half as much of just about any cleaning agent and get the same results.

Convo with my wife:
“There’s something wrong with the lotion in the shower. It’s burning my skin like Nair or something.”
“??? What lotion?”
“The big bottle that says goat milk on it or whatever.”
“Honey, that is body wash.”

The dishes have never been softer! Granted, that's a whole 'nother problem, but it's still worth mentioning.
What the hell are these floppy discs?

My question: is it normal for you to use lotion in the shower?

Exactly why it isn’t recommended to use. It’s not very water soluble and will often clog the drainage holes of the washer.

I’ve come to understand that most of my habits aren’t normal. But, why not get it over with in the nice, warm atmosphere after toweling off?

For most loads of laundry you only really need like 2 tbsp of detergent, way less than the amount they tell you to use.

...why does your body wash burn?

Soap is caustic no matter how much goat milk and whatever bullshit they put in it here, and I have very sensitive skin. Go ahead and leave some on your body for a few hours without rinsing and report back when you see for yourself.

isn't recommended to use
Who and where has made this recommendation? I'd imagine there's a bazillion different takes on it. Where I live most consumer agencies and the sort say it's not necessary but don't recommend against it.

Seriously. It's something about shampoo, hair conditioner, laundry detergent and laundry conditioner especially. The product type is printed as small as the dosage on med bottles.
That's another one. Why put dosage inside a book on the side of a medicine bottle. Make that the front page, and if I want to read more... I will

Downside is, if you can't understand what's written, you're gonna have a hard time knowing what that product is
"ah, yes, of course. Kukurydza. Just what I needed for my recipe, I think?"

Of course the people selling it are gonna recommend. Just a basic google search will show it. Watch a washer repair video on YouTube and they will mention it every time.
Here’s a quick google search: “The fatty, clumpy nature of fabric softener can lead to residue buildup in the machine's dispenser, pipes, and drum, potentially causing clogs, mold growth, and even making your clothes smell musty.”

Since I rince my dishes before they go in the dishwasher, I only use HALF THE SOAP for the dishwasher.
