The dishwasher tablets they are normally used to clean plates, glasses and cutlery but there are some alternative uses little known and definitely interesting. Did you know, for example, that they are very effective at removing pen or pencil stains from walls? And it doesn’t end here…

Remove food encrustations from pans

Can’t remove stubborn deposits from your pans? Pour some water into the pan, immerse the dishwasher tablet and bring the water to the boil, allowing the tablet to dissolve. At this point, remove the pan from the heat and scrub it with a sponge.

Removing stains from white clothes

If you have a stained white t-shirt, try this method: soak it in hot water overnight, adding a dishwasher tablet. In the morning wash it in the washing machine. The stain will disappear much easier! Do not use tablets for colored or black clothing because some of them contain bleach.

Remove pen or pencil stains from walls

Fill a bowl with tap water and dissolve a dishwasher tablet in it. Dip a rag and pass it directly over the pencil or pen stain, rubbing well.

Clean the sink well

Fill the sink with hot water and immerse the tablet, leaving it to act overnight. In the morning the sink will be like new!

Clean the washing machine

You can also use the dishwasher tablet to clean and clean the washing machine: just insert it into the basket and start an empty wash cycle. This way you will loosen stubborn dirt.
