Let the tablet dissolve completely in the boiling water and cook for a few minutes. During this process, the tablet will release a combination of cleaning and bleaching agents that will help eliminate bad smells that are common in the kitchen. The effect is particularly effective if the smells are due to encrusted food residues on plates or pans.
A versatile tip
Once you have achieved the desired effect, you can use the water in which you have dissolved the tablet for other types of cleaning. For example, you can pour it down the sink drain to avoid blockages in your pipes. The detergents contained in the water can help remove grease and food residues that have built up in your pipes, keeping them clean and free of unpleasant odors.
It is important to note that this method is only suitable for stainless steel pans or non-porous cookware. If you use a pan made of any other material, you risk damaging it or transferring unwanted chemicals. So be sure to check the material of the pot before using this technique.
Why choose a dishwasher tablet?
But is it really worth opting for a DIY method like the dishwasher tablets and choosing them over the usual ready-made products? Yes, and the reasons are different.
Air fresheners
Firstly, home methods of eliminating bad odors are preferable to chemical sprays and air fresheners, as they offer a more natural and effective solution. In fact, chemical sprays and perfumers tend to temporarily mask odors rather than eliminating them at the root.
In contrast, home methods like using dishwasher tablets work directly on unpleasant odors by using cleaning and whitening properties to remove food particles and eliminate lingering odors.
Additionally, home methods are often safer for your health and the environment as they reduce exposure to harmful chemicals. Now that you know all that, try this simple and inexpensive trick. You’ll find that the solution to unpleasant kitchen odors lies right in your dishwasher.
