Dishwasher tablets don’t just clean and shine dishes—they’re surprisingly versatile and can make household chores much easier. Even if you don’t own a dishwasher, these little blocks of cleaning power can replace several store-bought products when used the right way.
Here are 7 clever uses for dishwasher tablets that will simplify your daily cleaning routine:
1. Eliminate Washing Machine Odors
Over time, detergent build-up, humidity, and dirt can cause bad smells in your washing machine.
The trick: Place 2 tablets directly in the drum and run an empty hot cycle. Your machine will smell fresh and clean again.
2. Degrease Kitchen Walls
Grease and even pencil or pen marks can stain your walls.
The trick: Dissolve 1 tablet in hot water, soak a cloth in the mixture, and gently scrub the stained areas.
