Being money saving I bought a few big boxes of dishwasher tablets when they were on a half price offer. Now my dishwasher has died. It's long out of warranty and tbh I'm happy washing up by hand, but are the tablets good for anything around the house?

    This is a very good question OP. I have a few boxes I don't know what to do with.:o

    They're great for whitening your whites. Just soak in a bowl over night then wash as normal.

    I use them for my teaspoons, left to soak they bring back that unused, sparkly, silver shine. Not forgetting they are ideal when scrubbing the cooker, oven and grill pan.

    They can be made into a paste and smeared onto burnt on food on cooker tops, ovens or pots and pans.
