When my friend’s husband brought the wrong ny type of dishwasher tablets from abroad, it looked like they would be completely useless – money down the drain.
The size simply didn’t fit the dispenser in the old dishwasher at all. Instead of putting the tablets away, she tried an idea from the internet and was thrilled with the result. Now she doesn’t put the tablets only in the dishwasher; she finally managed to clean the old oven and stove at the cottage – they literally shine with cleanliness.
But that’s far from all these tablets can do.
You won’t read this on the packaging – clever housewives discovered it completely by accident
Against drain odors and clogs
If you’re bothered by drain odor or worried it might clog, you can solve it this simply. Put one tablet into the drain and slowly pour hot kettle water over it.
Let it work – no trace of the smell remains.
If you want to enhance the effect and especially dissolve deposits, then rinse the drain with ordinary vinegar.
Washing machine odor eliminator
If you need to immediately get rid of smell from the washing machine, throw two dishwasher tablets into the drum.
After that there will be no trace of the smell. Housewives found this trick to be the most effective.
Cleaning the oven
Is your oven really dirty?
I used to buy expensive products 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 ready to give up on
Maybe this is the most dirty spot in the apartment right now (of course after the oven). That’s why you should know that even an old and really badly looking baking tray or mold can look like new again. Pour hot water into it, add a tablet and let it work overnight. In the morning just rinse – it’s like magic, all grease and dirt gone. However, don’t forget to rinse everything thoroughly.
For white clothes and curtains it’s my guardian angel
Warm water + dishwasher tablet = even really ugly stains on white clothes disappear as if they were never there.
Use it only on white fabrics, though; colored ones may fade. I soak in warm water with a tablet and also add it to the washing machine. It also works as a great bleach if your white laundry got stained during washing. It degreases and brightens 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 also cleans the washing machine drum, removes limescale and even disinfects it.
It is recommended to choose a long wash program at high temperature, run the machine empty with 2 dishwasher tablets, which you put into the detergent dispenser.
This is a simple way to extend the life of household appliances!
Plastic furniture like new
Plastic garden furniture, a lounger, a child’s swing – this miraculous tablet literally saves 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 (like a trash bin) is in terrible condition, this method can remove the smell.
Cleaning the toilet
Another super tip from my friend. Throw it into the bowl and let it work overnight.
In the morning you’ll be amazed at the cleanliness and shine – and no limescale.
You clean the tank the same way – drop a dissolved tablet into the cistern and let it dissolve right in it and work.
When you flush, you’ll also clean the toilet bowl itself.
