They don't just do their good in the dishwasher - dishwasher tablets can also be easily used for cleaning the house.
When cleaning, many people resort to tried and tested home remedies or special chemical cleaners.
Some people also use dishwasher tabs to clean stubborn dirt in the toilet, for example.
However, anyone who uses the tabs to clean the household should wear rubber gloves - because of the chemical reaction when the tabs dissolve in water.
Don't forget the cleaning gloves.

1. Clean the toilet
Toilet cleaners are suitable for cleaning the toilet at home.
Or you can use home remedies such as citric acid or vinegar essence.
If you don't want to spend a long time scrubbing with a brush, you can also use dishwasher tabs for stubborn dirt caused by limescale or urine scale.
To do this, as the myhomebook.de
portal reported, you should
dissolve two dishwasher tablets in a cup of hot water, pour the mixture into the toilet bowl and distribute it with the brush.
The conclusion is that if you leave the whole thing to work overnight, deposits should be easily removed afterwards.
2. Clean the drain
If the drain in the sink is slightly clogged, you can remedy the situation with special cleaners, or you can first use home remedies.
Dishwasher tablets can also help, for example, to remove grease deposits in the drain, as

explained in an online article.
Accordingly, you should boil two to three liters of water, dissolve a dishwashing tablet and gradually pour the mixture “still hot, but not boiling” down the drain.
However, if there are stubborn residues stuck in the drain pipe, it can help to use a plunger.
It's even better to ask a specialist to clean the drain professionally.

3. Make the ceramic hob shine
Some also use the tabs to clean the ceramic hob.
You should be able to remove burnt-on items from the ceramic hob as follows: Dissolve a tab in warm water until a paste forms.
The paste is applied to the burnt areas or to the entire ceramic hob and left to take effect for a quarter of an hour.
Then rub the areas with a damp sponge.
At the end, remove the remaining paste from the ceramic hob with a damp cloth and rub the hob dry with a cloth.
