These Unexpected Salt Hacks Will Improve Everyone’s Lives

With this simple dishwasher soap, you won’t have to go over budget

After you’ve learned to clean your fridge with a salt and water solution, now’s the time for your dishwasher. Besides serving to clean your dinnerware set, dishwashers themselves should be washed. There’s always that piece of food that fell from a dish and got stuck all the way in the back of your appliance, so why not take care of it?

Dishwasher tablets and soaps aren’t really inexpensive, but with this hack, you’ll be able to make the perfect substitute. Just mix baking soda, detergent, and, of course, four sprinkles of salt. Once you’ve done that, place your solution into your dishwasher’s dispenser drawer and run a quick cycle. Make sure you don’t leave any plates inside.
