Sure, our eco-friendly dishwasher tablets are great at their day job – getting your dishes sparkling clean. But give them a side hustle and you’ll be amazed at what they can do.
Here are 4 weirdly satisfying ways to use your dishwasher tablets around the house – complete with step-by-step instructions and photos from our own kitchen clean-ups!
1. The Bin Blitz
Let’s face it – even the best of bins end up a bit... feral.
Solution? Pop a tablet in the bottom of your empty bin, pour in a kettle of hot water, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Give it a good swish, empty and rinse. Bonus points for finishing with a spritz of our all-purpose spray.
Tip: Works wonders on indoor and outdoor bins. Say goodbye to “eau de bin juice”.
2. Burnt Pot Emergency
We’ve all been there – distracted, dinner scorched, and now you're left with a pot that looks like it survived a volcano.
Drop in a dishwasher tablet and fill with boiling water. Let it soak for an hour (or overnight for the truly tragic cases), then give it a scrub. The grime lifts off like magic.
Tip: This trick also works for baking trays and oven-safe dishes.
3. Sink Revival
Stainless steel sinks can go from dull to dazzling with a little help. Wearing gloves, dissolve half a tablet in warm water and use a sponge to wipe down the sink and taps. Rinse well and admire the shine.
Tip: Buff dry with a soft cloth to avoid water marks.
4. Oven Grime Obliteration
Yes – your dishwasher tablet can tackle that scorched lasagne explosion from 2021.
Glove up, dampen a sponge, and rub it over a softened dishwasher tablet until you get a paste. Use it to scrub the inside of the oven, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Repeat as needed (and yes, it is addictive once you start).

Tip: Always test on a small area first if your oven has a delicate finish.
Who knew these eco-cleaning heroes were so versatile? Whether it’s tackling grease, grime, or that suspicious smell in the bin, ecyo dishwasher tablets have you covered – sustainably, of course.
