The cleaning power a GE Monogram dishwasher has is immense, which is why we wash more than just our dishes in this appliance! While it is meant for dishes, the heat and intensity of the jets makes an efficient and quick cleaner for certain items that would be tedious to wash by hand.
Next time you find yourself needing to clean any of these trinkets, just pop them in with your next dishwasher load to save yourself on time.
1. Toys– Slobber, sticky fingers and all sorts of germy things get on toys which is why a dishwasher is the perfect place to clean toys. It not only cleans in-between the small grooves and hard-to-reach areas, but it also sanitizes.
2. Hairbrush – Most people never even wash their hairbrush, but there’s no reason why you can’t when it’s as easy as plopping it into one of the dishwasher drawers. Be sure to get as much hair out as you can so you don’t clog the drain!
3. Sponges – Cleaning your sponge sounds odd, but an ideal way to sanitize it and get it to last longer is by using your built-in dishwasher.
4. Hubcaps – If you love your car to be sparkling clean, you may want to try this hack on your hubcaps. Feel free to add some white vinegar with your regular detergent for an extra cleaning boost.
5. Dog Toys and Collars – Our furry friends love getting into dirt, mud, grass and other messy situations, so cleaning their toys and collars well is a must. With a handy dandy dishwasher, there is no awkward washing at all.
6. Hair ties – Instead of throwing some of the rather grungy looking hair ties away, save money and run them through the dishwasher. Make sure they are in the silverware cup and held down by something heavy so they stay put during the cycle.
7. Contact lens cases – For those who wear contacts, you will want to do this once a month just to make sure they are regularly sanitized.
8. Golf Balls – Pour your golf balls into a mesh sack and place them in the bottom rack of your dishwasher. This one is a huge time saver.
9. Baseball caps – Putting this through a washing machine cycle could destroy the shape of your ball cap, but if placed on a bowl in your dishwasher, your cap will be looking good and ridden of sweat marks.
Our GE Monogram Stainless Steel Dishwashers have the potential to wash and sanitize all types of odd items so let out a sigh of relief knowing you will never have to wash an icky toy again.
