People are just realising they’re using their dishwasher tablets wrong – it’s why your stuff isn’t coming out clean
HAVE you ever wondered why your dishwasher isn’t properly cleaning your crockery?
Well, according to one man, it’s because you’re using the dishwasher tablets wrong.
He took to TikTok to share his hack, writing on top of his video: “Little dishwasher hack that will really help.”

He then showed himself just throwing the pod into the base of the dishwasher.
People were divided over the hack in the comments section of the video.
“Yup! The guy who installed our dishwasher said the same to us. He said to put it where the cutlery is,” one person wrote.

As someone else wrote: “The real hack is not buying pods like a chump.

“Just get the powder.
“It’s WAY cheaper and what’s actually in the pods themselves.”
