Dishwasher Pods Aren’t Just for Dishes — 6 Genius Uses You’ll Love
Dishwasher pods are powerful little cleaners packed with grease-cutting enzymes. That strength makes them perfect for way more than just plates and cups.
1. Deep-Clean Your Trash Can 🗑️
Drop one pod into the empty bin, add hot water, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Scrub lightly and rinse — odors and grime disappear.
2. Make Old Pots & Pans Look New 🍳
Burnt bottoms? Fill the pan with hot water, add ½–1 pod, and soak overnight. The baked-on grease lifts off with almost no scrubbing.
3. Refresh Your Washing Machine 🧺
Run an empty hot cycle with one pod in the drum. It breaks down detergent residue and leaves the machine smelling fresh.
4. Clean Oven Racks (Zero Scrubbing) 🔥
Place racks in a bathtub, add hot water and 2 pods, and soak for a few hours. Rinse clean — grease melts away.
