7 things we can clean with dishwasher tablets
The expert Lucía Lipperheide (@homes.style) reveals the 7 cleaning uses we can give to dishwasher tablets, to leave spotless some of the surfaces and household tools that are hardest for us to clean:
Very effective for removing grease from the oven
To remove encrusted dirt from the oven. All we have to do is fill a bowl with boiling water, dissolve a dishwasher tablet in it, wet a cloth in the mixture and wring it out well. When we have wiped the surface, with another dry cloth, we will remove the excess dirt and get it clean.
To eliminate bad odors from the refrigerator
We can also use this trick to clean the refrigerator, following the same steps but, for reasons of hygiene, trying to use a new or, failing that, freshly washed cloth. In addition to cleaning it, we will eliminate bad odors.
Also for cleaning the washing machine
To clean the drum of the washing machine. Every two weeks or so, we can run a short wash at 40º and put a dishwasher tablet in the drum. We will get the washing machine “spotless”, as the expert explains.
For the mop bucket
If what we want is to clean the mop bucket, we should put a tablet in it, pour boiling water over it and leave it to act for about 15 minutes. We will be surprised at all the dirt that comes out.
The spotless toilet
We can do the same thing to clean the toilet. We put a tablet and boiling water in it, leave it for about 5 minutes until it dissolves and, with the help of the toilet brush, we scrub well all over the bowl. The expert assures us that it will be spotless.
Also for the mop
To clean the mop thoroughly, the process is more or less the same. We put it in a container, place a dishwasher tablet on top of it and pour boiling water over it. We stir it a little so that it is impregnated, we leave it to act for about 15 minutes and, after that time, we rinse it well and leave it to dry upside down.
Infallible for unblocking the sink
Finally, if we have a blocked sink, instead of using vinegar, we can put in a dishwasher tablet, add baking soda and boiling water. Then we just have to turn on the tap to clean it and that’s it.
We are sure that after discovering these tricks, dishwasher tablets will become your best cleaning allies, because they are ideal for descaling dirt, as well as getting rid of grease, bad smells and germs and bacteria, leaving everything sparkling clean.
