If you’ve ever opened a dishwasher to find soaked dishes, this drying trick may be for you.
content creator Raquel Eppley, who often shares ‘life hacks’ with tiktokprovided information on how to improve the popular “tea towel trick” so that it works for everyone.
The trick, which has been shared many times on social media, is to put a clean kitchen towel on the door of the dishwasher when it is ready.
However, some comments have been that it does not dry dishes completely; Rachael explains how to remedy it.
“In case your mom hasn’t taught you, you need to hang up the towel as soon as the cycle is over for the trick to work,” Rachael shared.
“It’s putting a towel over the door and then closing it so it absorbs the moisture and you don’t have to dry the dishes or wait for them to dry before putting them away,” he explained in the caption.
“I just leave the door ajar for a few hours after it’s done and they’re dry,” one person shared.
‘Yeah! Our dishwasher is the worst at drying, but this works!’ someone else got excited.
If you’ve ever opened a dishwasher to find soggy dishes waiting for you, the dishwasher hack may be for you.
Last year, a woman also went viral after sharing a trick to create more space inside her dishwasher.
Australian Instagram account @truearthmovementuser posted two little-known ways to place the cutlery holder inside certain dishwasher models to leave more room for plates and bowls.
First you turned the holder to the side and pushed it towards the dishwasher door before closing it, but it can also be hung in the bottom drawer.
“I was years old today when I discovered my dishwasher could do this,” the woman wrote in the clip.
The idea is that by having the holder on the side of the door, it creates more space in the dishwasher for dirty plates and bowls.
Not long before the content creator shared her hack, mom-of-two Chantel Mila revealed how she deep cleans her dishwasher and makes her dishes shine every time.
The mother said that dishwashers accumulate dirt and grime over time, so they need to be cleaned from time to time to make sure they are working as well as they can.
“This is the easiest way to get cleaner dishes,” Chantel posted in one of her TikTok videos.
The trick, which has been shared many times on social media, is to put a clean kitchen towel on the door of the dishwasher when it is ready.
To begin a deep clean of your dishwasher, you must first remove the filter, empty it, soak it, and wash it in the sink with dishwashing liquid.
“Next, grab a jug or cup and fill it with white vinegar,” Chantel said.
Then, place it on the top rack of your dishwasher, where you can store glasses and mugs.
“Run the dishwasher at the highest temperature for a normal cycle and then let it air dry,” she said.
This should give your dishwasher a “deep clean” and ensure your dishes come out cleaner, brighter and whiter.
The reason vinegar works so well is because it breaks down food scraps, dirt, soap scum, and residue left in the dishwasher.
It also helps to sterilize your machine and remove grease, limescale and deposits from the pipes before its next use.
