Have you ever tried using a dishwasher tablet in your shower or bathtub? Here’s why you should do it.
It happens very often that ingredients are used in home cleaners that we would never think of, for purposes far removed from their daily use. This is the case when using a dishwasher tablet that is used in the shower or bathtub. Let’s see together why it is a technique that we can safely adopt for cleaning.
Dishwasher tabs
There are now many types of tablets (or tablets) for the dishwasher, a device that can now be found in many people’s homes.
Dishwasher tabs are a special product used to clean and disinfect dishes, cutlery and other kitchen utensils. They are made of a mixture of chemicals that work together to eliminate food residue, grease, and stains left behind by liquids. They come in various shapes and sizes, but most are water-soluble and are sold in individual packs or in boxes containing multiple tablets.

Their use is very simple, it is necessary to place them in the dedicated compartment, which is usually located in the door of the dishwasher. After inserting the tablet, simply close the door and start the wash cycle.
The reason tablets are so commonly used is that they not only serve as cleaning agents, but are also useful for disinfecting kitchen utensils because they contain antibacterial substances that eliminate germs and bacteria on surfaces. This is one of the main reasons why it makes sense to put a dishwasher tablet in the shower. Let’s see together what happens next.
Why put a dishwasher tab in the shower?
As already mentioned, dishwasher tabs are an excellent ally in eliminating germs and bacteria due to their disinfecting properties. Why not use it in another place where germs and bacteria multiply more?
Putting a dishwasher tablet in the shower or bathtub will help you clean and disinfect surfaces better. To carry out this process in the shower, it is necessary that the shower tray has raised edges and is not flush with the floor, as the drain must be closed and some water may accumulate. Then carry out this process, closing the shower drain and increasing the water level, possibly hot, by a few centimeters. Then throw a dishwasher tablet into the water and wait until it has completely dissolved. Leave it on for about fifteen minutes, then take a soft sponge and start cleaning the shower tray .

You will find that no scrubbing is required as all residue has been softened by the action of the tablet.
After you have cleaned the entire shower tray, pull the plug out of the drain and let the water drain out. Do a final rinse with the shower to make sure you have removed all residue. The procedure for this method is the same, but if you have a very large tank, the advice to avoid waste and consumption is not to fill it completely, but to add water up to half and then clean it a little more thoroughly.
But does this whole process only serve to disinfect the shower as best as possible? Of course not. In fact, thanks to their composition, dishwasher tablets are very useful for making the yellowed shower tray or bathtub white again . In just a few minutes you will have a disinfected and bleached bathroom
