Your dishwasher is not just for dishes!

Because the temperature in your dishwasher is really high, it’s great for washing lots of things to keep them clean, healthy and hygienic.  

1. Plastic hairbrushes and combs – you would be horrified to learn what’s lurking in your hairbrush. Remove any excess hair before washing.

2. Cleaning sponges and brushes – during the day, your cleaning items will pick up germs and redistribute them!

3. Fridge shelves and the microwave turntable – the easy way to get rid of sticky spills.

4. Toothbrush holders, soap dishes and shower caddies – water pools in the bottom of these holders creating the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive.

5. Pet bowls and toys – these should be washed on a regular basis to stop harmful bacteria from taking over.

6. Sink strainer and plug – your sink is one of the germiest places in your kitchen.

7. Plastic toys and Lego – kids can be very germy – and as a result, so are their toys!

8. Contact lens cases – when you are putting something in your eye, you want its container to be scrupulously clean.
