COULD the humble dishwasher tablet save you money?
Use them instead of pricey cleaning products for other tasks around the house and you will be surprised at how much less you spend.
The cheapest I have seen is 50 tablets for £2.49 at Aldi. That’s about 5p a tablet.
Follow these tips and you could clean up.
- Spin the money: If your washing machine needs a rinse, a dishwasher tablet can help. Put one in the drawer of the machine on an empty wash cycle to reduce limescale build-up. It is a good saving when Calgon washing-machine cleaner starts at £9 in Asda.
- Cook ’n’ clean: One Sun Saver has told me her stainless steel hob has never looked better because she now uses dishwasher tablets to clean it. Soak one until it crumbles, then use a cloth to wipe off grime.
- Don’t loo-se out: Pop one tablet in your toilet overnight and the basin should be shiny and clean come morning.
- Fake bake: Oven cleaner is always pricey. But one savvy mum has found that cleaning your oven door is a piece of cake when you use a dishwasher tablet. Take a whole one and dip it in warm water, then start gently working away at the grease on the glass door. Keep dipping it in the warm water. I have swapped Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner for this and saved myself £3.
- Banish tan: It is not just household chores the tablets can help with. They also save the problem of “fake-tan hands” after the lotion is applied. Dissolve a dishwasher tablet in a bowl of warm water and soak your hands with the solution. That is cheaper than forking out for a specialised product, such as Bondi Sands self-tan remover, £14.99.
