A dishwasher tablet can become a good cleaning solution for many surfaces in your kitchen.

It's effective, and it's safe, which is great for surfaces that often touch food.

Here's how you can use these tablets.

Prepare the tablet solution

Fill a container or bowl with hot water. 

The water should be hot enough to dissolve the tablet, but not boiling.

Dissolve the tablet

Drop one dishwasher tablet into the hot water and let it dissolve completely.

The tablet will release cleaning agents and enzymes that will help break down dirt, grease, and stains.

Identify the areas to clean

Common areas include countertops, stovetops, oven interiors, microwave interiors, and sink surfaces. 

You can also use the solution to clean stubborn stains or grime on pots, pans, or other kitchen utensils.

Apply the solution

Apply the solution to the targeted areas, scrubbing gently to remove dirt, stains, and grease.

Scrub and rinse

After letting the solution sit, use the cloth or sponge to scrub the surface, applying gentle pressure as needed. 

Once you've thoroughly scrubbed the area, rinse it with clean water to remove any residue.

Dry and inspect

Take a moment to inspect the areas you've cleaned and ensure they are free from dirt, stains, or residue. 

If necessary, repeat the process for stubborn stains or heavily soiled areas.
