1) Cleaning the Washing Machine
Your washing machine needs regular cleaning too. To freshen it up, place one dishwasher pod in the drum and run a hot cycle. The pod’s enzymes will dissolve soap scum, eliminate odors, and break down residue that may build up over time, leaving your washing machine fresh and clean.
2) Unclogging Drains
Dishwasher pods can even help with clogged drains. Drop one pod into the drain, followed by boiling water. Let it sit for a few minutes, then flush with more boiling water. The pod’s powerful cleaning agents will break down grease, soap scum, and debris, helping to clear the clog.
3) Cleaning Greasy Pots and Pans
Grease buildup on pots and pans can be tough to tackle. Fill the pot with hot water, drop in a dishwasher pod, and let it soak for about 30 minutes. After soaking, the grease will be much easier to scrub away, saving you time and elbow grease.
4) Freshening Up Trash Cans
Trash cans can develop unpleasant odors over time. To eliminate them, fill the can with warm water and add a dishwasher pod. Let it sit for an hour or so, then scrub and rinse. The pod’s cleaning agents will neutralize odors and leave your trash can smelling fresh.
