My mother-in-law buys these tablets even though she doesn’t have a dishwasher at home. Although they are not meant for washing dishes, they can do truly perfect things around the house. For example, my mother-in-law can perfectly clean the washing machine and burnt baking trays with them. Since I learned that, I have them at home too.
You won’t read this on the packaging – clever housewives discovered it completely by accident
Against drain odors and clogs
If you’re troubled by a drain odor, or fear it might get clogged, you can solve it this simply. Put one tablet into the drain and slowly pour hot kettle water over it. Let it work – not a trace of the smell will remain. If you want to improve the effect and especially dissolve deposits, then rinse the drain with ordinary vinegar.
Washing machine odor eliminator
If you need to immediately eliminate the washing machine odor, throw two dishwasher tablets into the washing machine drum. Then there won’t be a trace of the smell. Housewives found this trick to be the most effective.
Cleaning the oven
Is your oven also really dirty? I used to buy an expensive product from the store, but this is really worth trying. I proceeded by dissolving a tablet in hot water, putting on gloves and applying it to the surface. I let it work for about 15 minutes and then just wiped it off. Don’t forget to finally wipe with a clean damp cloth. The point is to completely remove any chemical residues.
Baking tray like new – even the one you were about to give up on
Maybe this is currently the most soiled place in the apartment (of course after the oven). That’s why you should know that even an old and really horribly looking tray or baking mold can be like new again. Pour hot water into it, add a tablet and let it sit overnight. In the morning just rinse – it’s like magic, all the grease and dirt are gone. However, be sure to rinse thoroughly.
For white clothes and curtains it’s my guardian angel
Warm water + a dishwasher tablet = even really nasty stains on white clothing disappear as if they were never there. However, use it only on white fabrics; colored ones may fade. I let items soak in warm water with a tablet and also add one to the washing machine. It also works as a great bleach if your white clothes got discolored during washing.
Degreases and brightens in the kitchen and bathroom
If there’s grease on the wall, a solution made from a dishwasher tablet will help. This solution removes not only grease and film but also crayon and marker scribbles. Main condition: the wall must be washable!
Cleaning the washing machine
A dishwasher tablet cleans the washing machine drum and at the same time removes limescale and even disinfects it.
It is recommended to choose a long wash program at a high temperature, run the machine empty with 2 dishwasher tablets which you put into the detergent dispenser. It’s an easy way to extend the life of home appliances!
Plastic furniture like new
Plastic garden furniture, a lounger, a children’s swing – this miraculous tablet literally rescues all of these from dirt. It removes stubborn dirt, bird droppings and all the dust. Everything will be amazingly clean!
Cleaning metal cookware
Cutlery will shine when you place it in a solution of water and a dishwasher tablet for several hours. With this solution other metal objects will also regain their original beauty.
For cleaning plastic containers
Plastic containers easily absorb odors and also stains. To remove this problem, use a solution made from a tablet. If another plastic item (such as a trash can) is in terrible condition, this method can remove the odor.
Cleaning the toilet
Another great tip from my friend. Throw one into the bowl and let it sit overnight. In the morning you’ll be amazed at the cleanliness and shine – and no limescale. You can clean the cistern the same way — put a dissolved tablet into the cistern, let it dissolve and work. When you flush, you’ll also clean the toilet itself.
