WEST BROM striker Daryl Dike has accidentally been using DISHWASHER TABLETS to wash his clothes for the past eight months.
The American striker, 22, has been in England for almost a year, first at Barnsley on loan before joining the Baggies.
And the powerful prospect has confessed to scoring an own goal, after only just finding out his error.
The USA international explained the mistake on his TikTok channel.
Dike showed off the ‘Finish Powerball Quantum’ dishwasher tablets he has been using all this time.
The ex-Orlando City star said: “So funny story time and before I continue, yes, I know I’m an idiot. I fully understand that.

“For the longest time I have thought that my washing machine is just crap. But anyways when I moved into this apartment I bought one of those huge bags of laundry detergent to wash all my clothes.
“Recently it ran out so I went to the store to buy some more. I’m looking at the bag and I can’t find the bag anywhere in the store. I’m sitting there like ‘why can’t I find it?’
“I come back to my apartment and I look down at the bag [of dishwasher tabs] I have.
“This is what I’ve been using! I have been washing my clothes with dishwasher soap since I’ve been here. I have lived in England for eight months!”

As a youngster in Oklahoma, he started supporting Chelsea because of Didier Drogba and standing at 6ft 1in tall with a powerful physique he has striking similarities with his childhood idol.
Dike told SunSport: “I loved Drogba, I enjoyed watching him. He was someone I’ve always looked up to and Chelsea was my team.”
He added: “As I kid I had two dreams — to play in the Premier League and compete in the World Cup.
“Hopefully I’ll be doing one this year and then next year the other.
