What a nice invention, isn’t it, that dishwasher. No mess on your counter and no – okay, less – arguing about who does the dishes. Still, there is a good chance that you are not yet getting the most out of the dishwasher. Dishwashers can do more than just clean dirty dishes and cutlery. We list which items you can now throw in the dishwasher… from hairbrush to sex toys.
Pictures of the light switch
You come across them so often that you hardly notice how dirty the light switches can get. This usually concerns hard-to-reach places with dirt. And you touch that every day… Yuck! Remove them and run them through a cycle in the cutlery drawer of the dishwasher. Spotless!
Toys in the dishwasher
Plastic toys can hoppatee in the dishwasher. One condition: it must not contain batteries.
Hats
Sweat and hair oils collect on the inside of the cap, creating an unhygienic, greasy mess. Hats off and put it in the dishwasher! Of course, caps can also be washed in washing machines!
Hairbrush
Gel, varnish and powders: when you use your hairbrush every day, the dirt automatically accumulates. According to OmaWeetRaad, you can easily clean the brush by putting it in an otherwise empty dishwasher. Important: First remove most of the hair and dust with your hands or using a fork.
Sponges
Cleaning sponges are fantastic at removing baked-on stains. The major disadvantage of the sponges is that from a hygienic point of view they actually have to be thrown away after one use. That’s how many bacteria collect in one day. If you think throwing them away is a waste of money, you can clean the sponges a few times by putting them in the dishwasher.
Sex toys
Yup! After a steamy session, your (waterproof!) toys can go in the dishwasher. But without a dishwasher tablet with a high program. Without other objects of course, that’s so fresh. Please note: only sex toys made of metal, glass or silicone are allowed. Finally, make sure that your housemates or family members do not come across your pleasure toys. Awkward…
