10 THINGS YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO WITH A DISHWASHER!

The dishwasher is very helpful when it comes to washing dishes quickly and efficiently, but did you know that you can also wash some other things besides plates, glasses and cutlery? In this blog, we will reveal 10 items that you can safely wash in the dishwasher.

1. Plastic Toys

If you have children, pets, or are simply a fan of toys, you probably know how quickly they can get dirty. Plastic toys, such as cubes, dolls, or cars, can be easily washed in a dishwasher. Before you do this, make sure that the toys are sturdy and do not have parts that could be damaged during washing. Place them all in a mesh laundry bag, and then on the top shelf of the dishwasher.

2. Rubber slippers

Shoes and dishes in the same “basket” do not sound very tempting, but there is a solution. It is enough to turn on the wash cycle in the empty machine between washes and it is ready for the next wash. Summer slippers, the so-called “flip-flops” can be easily washed in the dishwasher. Put them on the top shelf to stay in place due to high water pressure and don’t forget to undo the drying cycle.

3. Makeup brushes

Makeup brushes are often overlooked when it comes to cleaning, but their regular maintenance is important for hygiene. Like the items mentioned above, place them on the top shelf of the dishwasher and wash along with other items. We recommend that you use a mild detergent and low-temperature program to extend the life of the brushes.

4. Ventilation filters

Grease and dirt often accumulate in kitchen ventilation filters. Before you ask someone to clean them manually, try washing them in the dishwasher. Place them on the bottom shelf and use a stronger program with a detergent that can break through grease. This will save you time and effort. In this way, you can also wash the aspirator filters. Before returning it to the aspirator, make sure the filter is dry.

5. Rubber mats

Smaller rubber mats used in the kitchen or bathroom can also be washed in the dishwasher. We recommend that you put them in the machine along with other materials to prevent them from getting damaged during the wash cycle.

6. Plastic lids

Plastic lids for jars and bottles often become greasy and stainy from use. Put them in the dishwasher to clean them thoroughly. This will save you the time you would normally spend washing by hand.

7. Brushes for scrubbing pots and pans

You can also put the brushes for cleaning pots and pans in the dishwasher. This will help you remove food debris and grease from them, so you can use them again.

8. Hair brushes

Did you know that your hairbrush is a “hotbed” of bacteria? Therefore, insert the comb and plastic hairbrushes into the cutlery tray for thorough cleaning. Remove all the hair from them. Note: If the brushes are made of natural hair and with wooden handles then it is recommended to wash them by hand.

9. Sponges and trulex rags

Since sponges and rags contain more bacteria than any other item in the kitchen, washing in a dishwasher can kill 99.9 percent of germs. Place them in the cutlery basket and select the program with the highest temperature.

10. Shelves for refrigerators

If you don’t want to scrub food leftovers from the shelves of your refrigerator, take it out and put it together with the other dishes, and the machine will do the job for you.

Note: Before you wash any of these things in the dishwasher, make sure you read the maintenance instructions and manufacturer’s recommendations. Some things may be sensitive to high temperatures or strong detergents.

After all this information, we hope you can see that a dishwasher can be useful not only for washing dishes, but also for cleaning various items in your home. These are just a few examples of things you can safely wash in a dishwasher, but always follow maintenance instructions and be careful not to damage sensitive items.
