Sara Rowland of Anglian Water said: "We've had hundreds of people turn up at our customer support units in Daventry and Northampton.
"Number one question has been can I use the dishwasher and the answer is yes, put it on a hot wash."
On Friday, the units had 570 customers visit and 360 more on Saturday.
