DIY Wooden Slice Dishwasher Clean Dirty Magnet

Last year, I made some Print & Cut Dishwasher magnets to declare whether that dishwasher is clean, dirty, or empty. Over time, the magnet started to fall apart so I decided to make some more robust clean dirty magnets using vinyl and wood slices.

We like having the 3rd option because if they both say dirty, we don’t know which one to load.

This is one design where I’m very glad that I invested in a CB-09 blade. There is no way that I could have cut the intricate design like this without it.

I had some wood slices left over from the Wood Slice Christmas Ornaments that I made last fall which were the perfect size for this project. Simply cut the design, transfer it onto the wood slice then add some strong magnets onto the back!

  2. I love this idea! My new dishwasher has a light now that tells me if the load is clean but before we got it, I was thinking I needed something like this. How fun!

  12. Oh my goodness! This is one of those genesis things that is like “why didn’t I think of that” We have a large family and seriously i get asked all the time “Is the dishwasher clean or dirty” This is seriously a life saver!1

    Thanks for sharing!!

  14. Love this, I know two people in my house that need this! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Dishing It & Digging It Link Party, we loved reading it. Have a great week.

  16. I need to make one of these for our dishwasher. Everyone always wonders if the dishes are clean or not, so this would help clear that up. Thanks for sharing your tutorial on Merry Monday. Pinned.
