Dishwasher tablets
In addition to their inherent uses, dishwasher tablets have a much more effective cleaning ability than we think.
1. Deodorize the trash can:
James King, CEO of DeluxeMaid, a home cleaning service in the US, revealed that just throwing a dishwasher tablet into the bottom of the trash bag before putting the trash in will significantly reduce the stench coming from here.
You can also clean the trash can by soaking a solution of hot water and dishwasher tablets in the trash can for 30 minutes to an hour.
The enzymes and detergents in it will help break down grease, odors or any sticky residue inside the trash can.
2. Treat stubborn stains:
Sometimes, the dishwasher is not powerful enough to clean stubborn stains in takeout containers or tea and coffee cups. These stains are difficult to scrub with a brush and require a lot of effort.
Chris Willatt, owner of Alpine Maids, USA, said that just smash a dishwashing tablet into a cup, fill it with hot water, let it sit for an hour. Then, you use this solution to scrub the stain, the stain will be gone immediately.
3. Restore wall paint color:
Willatt said that dishwashing tablets are very effective in cleaning crayon, paint or juice stains on walls, floors or decking.
Just put two dishwashing tablets in a bucket of hot water, wait for them to dissolve and then scrub the stain.
4. Refresh outdoor furniture:
Similarly, dishwashing tablets can be used to clean outdoor furniture. "It cleans thoroughly without damaging the interior," King said.
Dissolve the dishwashing tablet in warm water, use a sponge to wipe the interior. After wiping, rinse with clean water.
