Make your sink sparkle and shine again

If you have a liquid dishwashing pod on hand, you can try this dishwasher tablet cleaning hack to scour away any and all stuck-on glop from inside your sink basin.

Here’s what the pros recommend: try closing your sink drain, fill it with water, and use a gel dishwasher tablet to loosen hard-to-clean gunk before scrubbing with a sponge or brush.

Fic your clogged drains

And since we’re on the topic of sinks, if you have any nasty odors coming from your sink drain or a slow-draining sink, this dishwasher tablet cleaning hack could be the perfect solution for dissolving fat and grease and freeing up your pipes.

Simply drop a dishwashing pod into all the drains you have in your home to get rid of odors and leave behind a pleasant scent. Afterward, pour some boiling water, which will help dissolve grease build-up or any other blockages, allowing the water to flow freely once again.

But we must warn you: a dishwasher tablet is not the best solution for unclogging a shower drain because they’re not designed to help dissolve hair blocks. Also, boiling water can distort plastic pipes.
