If you’ve been using a whole tablet for every wash, this mum’s dishwasher tablet hack proves that you’re wasting your money.

The weekly grocery shop is probably the most expensive part of the week, so any opportunity to save some money is most welcome! An Aussie mum has discovered a hack that will allow you to get more value from your next box of dishwashing tablets without compromising on efficiency and quality.

Just As Good

The thrifty mum says that cutting your dishwasher tablet in half will double the number of washes from each box and says it makes no difference to the cleanliness of your plates and cutlery. “They still clean just as good!” she posted to her Instagram page. The mum suggests that cutting your dishwasher tablet whilst they are still in the plastic packaging is an easy way to reduce mess and allow you to store the remaining half in a cool, dry place ready for your next wash. If you find yourself putting the dishwasher on almost every day, this hack could be life changing!

Tried And Tested

Those who tried the dishwasher tablet hack said the results speak for themselves. “It cleans exactly the same and we’re saving so much money,” wrote one excited mum. “Best tip EVER!” Another said that it worked no matter which brand of tablet she used. “It absolutely works the same – and I’ve used it with Finish tablets, Coles and ALDI…anyone who uses a full tablet is just wasting their money!”

We think this clever mum may have not only saved families a significant amount of money, but also a couple of last minute trips to the shops – we’ll definitely be giving this hack a go!
