Using a dishwasher tablet to clean your bathroom might sound unconventional, but it can be surprisingly effective due to the detergent and cleaning agents contained in the tablet. Here’s how you can clean various parts of your bathroom with a dishwasher tablet:
- Toilet Bowl:
- Drop a dishwasher tablet into the toilet bowl.
- Let it fizz and dissolve for about 10-15 minutes.
- Use a toilet brush to scrub the bowl thoroughly, including under the rim.
- Flush the toilet to rinse.
- Sink and Faucets:
- Wet the sink and faucet surfaces with water.
- Rub a dishwasher tablet directly onto the surfaces, focusing on areas with soap scum or hard water stains.
- Use a damp cloth or sponge to scrub the surfaces.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
- Shower or Bathtub:
- Wet the shower or bathtub surfaces with water.
- Rub a dishwasher tablet onto a wet sponge or cloth until it lathers.
- Scrub the surfaces, focusing on soap scum, grime, and water stains.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Tile Grout:

- Rub a wet dishwasher tablet directly onto the grout lines or dissolve it in a small amount of water to create a paste.
- Use an old toothbrush or grout brush to scrub the grout lines thoroughly.
- Rinse with water and wipe dry.
- Mirrors and Glass:
- Dissolve a dishwasher tablet in a bucket of warm water.
- Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the solution and use it to wipe down mirrors and glass surfaces.

Always wear gloves when handling dishwasher tablets, as they contain chemicals that can irritate the skin. Additionally, ensure proper ventilation in the bathroom while cleaning. This method is particularly useful for removing stubborn stains and buildup in the bathroom, leaving surfaces clean and shiny.
