This list is obviously quite generic, if there are only two of your living in your home then you won’t need to run the dishwasher every day and perhaps twice a week is fine. Feel free to adapt it as you see fit in order to accommodate your families routines.
If you think that you can only use the dishwasher for cutlery and crockery, pots and pans, think again. Here’s a list of seven uncommon household items which you can put into the dishwasher. You’ll save yourself loads of time and the dishwasher will probably do a better job at sterilising them than you would have done.
What should we add to this list? Do you have any items which you regularly clean which we have missed? Let us know in the comments section below and we will add them on.
Save and share this list or print it and pin it up in a cupboard:
