5 weird things you can put in the dishwasher
Dishwashers are useful appliances that shorten the hassle of maintaining clean dishes and cookware. Dishwashers cannot take items such as cast iron pans, high-end knives, wooden cutting boards, fine crystal and other items, but there are plenty of unlikely household items that can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
1. Shower head
Instead of going through the hassle of scrubbing the stains on your shower head by hand, pop it in the dishwasher. Unscrew the shower head and then add it your load of dishes every few months.
2. Soap dishes
Soap dishes regularly accumulate dirt, dust and grime from daily use. Place your soap dishes in the top rack when cleaning them in the dishwasher and they will come out sparkling clean.
You don’t need to procrastinate cleaning your toothbrush holder because it can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. Place your toothbrush holder on the top rack as well.
4. Dog toys
Dog toys are easily sanitised in the dishwasher. CNET warns that dog toys should only go on the top rack of the dishwasher.
5. Razor
If there is still some life left in your razor then you can remove the soap or shaving cream in the razor without cutting yourself. Stick it in the dishwasher and it will come out residue free.
