Because the temperature in your dishwasher is really high, it’s great for washing lots of things to keep them clean, healthy and hygienic.
- Plastic hairbrushes and combs – you would be horrified to learn what’s lurking in your hairbrush. Remove any excess hair before washing.
- Cleaning sponges and brushes – during the day, your cleaning items will pick up germs and redistribute them!
- Fridge shelves and the microwave turntable – the easy way to get rid of sticky spills.
- Toothbrush holders, soap dishes and shower caddies – water pools in the bottom of these holders creating the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive.
- Pet bowls and toys – these should be washed on a regular basis to stop harmful bacteria from taking over.
- Sink strainer and plug – your sink is one of the germiest places in your kitchen.
- Plastic toys and Lego – kids can be very germy – and as a result, so are their toys!
- Contact lens cases – when you are putting something in your eye, you want its container to be scrupulously clean.
