Top 10 ways to use dishwasher tablets in your home

Dishwasher tablets are great not only for cleaning dirty dishes but also for other purposes in the house.

OBOZ.UA will tell you about 10 possible ways to use them in the household. But remember that before using these life hacks, you should test them in an inconspicuous area.

Kettle

To clean a kettle with dishwasher detergent, fill it halfway with water, boil it, and let it cool slightly.

Add the dishwasher tablet and let it sit for a while before pouring out the water and refilling it with fresh water.

The tablet should destroy any limescale that remains on the bottom of the appliance.

Oven trays

To clean the tray with dishwasher tablets, soak it in hot water with the tablet dissolved.

You can leave the tray overnight, if possible, and then wipe it lightly with a sponge to remove any dirt.

Sinks

Start by filling the sink with warm water and then gently scrubbing it with the dishwasher tablet.

Rinse thoroughly with warm water after covering each area, and be sure to wear gloves for this procedure.

Toilets

Drop the dishwasher tablet into the toilet before letting it sit for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing the bowl with a brush. Simply flush the water in the toilet to see a clean, limescale-free toilet.

Oven door

To remove food and dirt from the oven door, simply fill a bowl with warm water and dissolve a solid dishwashing tablet in the dishwasher.

Wearing gloves, dip the dishwasher tablet into the water, and start cleaning the marks on the oven door.

Microwave oven

Using the same method as for the oven door, use the dissolved dishwasher tablet to clean the inside of the microwave oven.

Then wipe the appliance with a clean cloth to remove any residue.

Pots and pans

If you have a burnt pot or stubborn stains that you can't remove, a dishwasher tablet is a great way to get them out.

Simply fill the pan with hot water and dissolve the tablet in the water. Let it sit for about an hour before rinsing it off.

Washing clothes

To remove stains from clothes with a dishwasher tablet, you can soak the clothes in a solution of warm water and dissolved tablet and then wash them as usual.

Dishwasher tablets contain bleach and enzymes that can help remove stains and brighten white laundry.

Cleaning vases

If you like fresh flowers in your home, you may notice that the glass is getting cloudy. However, it can be difficult to thoroughly clean a vase, especially if it is an awkward shape.

Simply fill the vase with warm water, place a dishwasher tablet in it along with a little detergent, and let it sit for 30 minutes.

Rinse the vase and you will have mirror-clear glass.

Barbecue

In the summer, dishwasher tablets are great for cleaning barbecue grills. Just place them in a bag or tub with a dissolved dishwasher tablet and watch the dirt melt away.
