If you only use rinse aid for your dishwasher, you are making a mistake.
The liquid is ideal for other household purposes.
Do you want to save a lot of money on purchasing cleaning products at home without compromising the cleaning of your surfaces?
No problem.
You can use rinse aid for many areas in your home.
The cleaning agent is by no means only suitable for the dishwasher, which you should wait to open immediately after the end of the program.
As long as you wear gloves when working with the substance, you can use it to clean various surfaces without any problems.
Here you can find out what the rinse aid can be used for.
1. Oven door
Grease splashes can quickly result in a pretty dirty oven door.
If you first remove the coarse dirt with water, you can then use a few drops of rinse aid on a clean cloth to ensure a brilliant shine.
In addition to a better view of the oven, regular cleaning of the oven door is also essential for hygiene.
Particularly shiny floors with the help of rinse aid
2. Ceramic hob
Getting the stovetops completely clean again can sometimes prove to be difficult.
The problem can be solved with a damp cloth and a few drops of rinse aid.
After wiping, you should clean the ceramic plates again with water.
A little tip: The plates are best cleaned when they are still lukewarm.
3. Floor
Just a few drops of rinse aid in your hot mopping water are enough to give the floor a completely new shine.
You can add three to four drops of rinse aid to a standard cleaning bucket - that's all you need.
The rinse aid causes the water to roll off your floor.
