It’s the cleaning hack that’s taken Australia by storm since it first appeared on New Idea Food last week, with millions of people using dishwashing tablets to give their washing machines a super clean.
The simple trick went viral after a washing machine technician revealed that popping a dishwashing tablet in your drum and putting it on the clean cycle once a fortnight was the perfect way to keep your appliance crystal clean – without spending a lot of money!
But in a new twist, hundreds of mums have taken the viral hack to a new level – claiming that if you use four dishwashing tablets on a hot cycle, you’ll get the best results by far.Said Facebook user: ‘I tried one dishwashing tablet and the water that I collected in a bucket from my machine wasn’t too dirty. But then, after reading other posts where people had used four dishwashing tablets I tried that and WOW. The water was almost black, I couldn’t believe it. I am so doing this every fortnight, massive results!’Mums Who Clean member Stacey reveals the amazing results she achieved from using 4 dishwashing tablets … (Credit: Mums Who Clean/Facebook)… Just look how dirty Stacey’s water is!
