It's actually clear where the dishwasher tab belongs.
A video on TikTok now showed what alleged mistakes many make.
Operating the dishwasher couldn't be easier: load it, select the right program, insert the dishwasher tab, press start and you're done.
However,
mistakes
can also be
made here
, which ensure that the
dishes do not
come out
as shiny
as one had imagined.
Glasses, for example, should always be put upside down to prevent them from filling up with water.
Certain materials have no place in the machine either *.
Nevertheless, very few have thought about whether you can
do something wrong when inserting the tab
.
A family man from England has now published a
TikTok video
, according to which many of us have made a certain mistake for years.

Father shows dishwasher “Lifehack” on TikTok
Scott Jeffreys had probably not expected that his new video on the TikTok platform would trigger such discussions.
His video, in which he shows how to put
dishwasher tabs "correctly" in the machine, was
clicked over 3.7 million times
.
To do
this, he placed the tab in the
smaller area of the dosing chamber
instead of in the large section as usual.
He wrote: Who would have thought that?
I've always done it wrong ”.
In the hundreds of comments under his video, many users were surprised that they had also handled it “wrong” so far.
One person even wrote,
"All my life I've been living a lie."

That is why you should definitely clean your dishwasher filter regularly.
Expert explains where the tab belongs
As the video spread, however, the
first doubts arose about Jeffrey's "Lifehack"
.
Some users did not believe in a new discovery and said Jeffrey would have done it right before.
The Australian platform News.com asked an expert to clarify the question once and for all.
He explained that
older machines
were not designed for a 3-in-1 tab like the one Jeffrey uses in the video.
This is why they often have
three different chambers
: a smaller one for the
pre-wash program
, the largest for the
main program
and one for the
rinse aid
.
Jeffrey had mistakenly placed his tab in the
pre-wash program area
.
However
,
this would not
damage the washing machine
.
Only the washing results can be affected.
Jeffrey himself has meanwhile also reacted to the heated discussion about his video and
admitted his mistake
: “I noticed that before 300,000 views.” Users could still not agree on which section of the chamber the tab should be placed in.
Many also claimed it
didn't matter
.
The main thing is that you place the tab in the dosing chamber and not in the cutlery basket - this is the only way that all ingredients can become active and the dishes can be cleaned as effectively as possible.
