More Than Just Dishes: Clever Dishwasher Tablet Hacks for a Cleaner Kitchen

At Bio-D, we love finding simple, effective, and planet-friendly ways to keep your home spotless and Dishwasher Tablets are no exception. While they’re a kitchen staple for keeping your crockery and cutlery sparkling clean, these powerful little tabs can do so much more.

In this blog, we’ll share some of our favourite dishwasher tablet hacks. From giving your oven door a new lease of life, to making air fryer clean-up a breeze, and of course, getting the best out of your dishwasher every day, all using our non-toxic, cruelty-free, and biodegradable formula. Let’s dive in!

1. The Classic Use: Getting the Most Out of Your Dishwasher

Let’s start with the obvious. A Dishwasher Tablet’s primary job is, of course, to clean dishes, but are you using it to its full potential?

Here are a few tips to maximise your dishwasher’s cleaning power:

• Don’t overload: Make sure water and detergent can circulate freely between items.
• Use eco settings: Pair your Bio-D Dishwasher Tablets with your machine’s eco-mode to save energy and water while still getting top results.
• Scrape, don’t rinse: Modern dishwashers and our tablets are designed to tackle food residues, so you don’t need to pre-rinse, just a quick scrape will do.
• Clean your machine monthly: Run an empty cycle with a tablet in the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent build-up and keep your appliance fresh.

With Bio-D’s Dishwasher Tablets, you can be confident your dishes are not only sparkling clean but also free from harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances, safer for your family and the planet.

2. How to Clean Your Oven Door with a Dishwasher Tablet

If you’ve ever peeked through your oven door only to be met with a cloudy, greasy view, you’re not alone. Over time, oven doors gather layers of burnt-on grime and splatters that can be tricky to remove, unless you’ve got a dishwasher tablet on hand.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Choose the right tablet: Use an unscented, non-toxic tablet like Bio-D’s to avoid harsh fumes.
2. Dampen the tablet slightly: Don’t soak it, just enough to soften the outer coating.
3. Rub directly on the glass: In gentle, circular motions, use the tablet like a sponge. The mild abrasives in the tablet help lift grease and grime without scratching.
4. Wipe clean: Use a damp cloth to wipe away the residue, then dry with a microfibre cloth for a streak-free shine.

This method works wonders on the inner glass, especially when paired with a little elbow grease. And the best part? No need for toxic oven sprays or endless scrubbing!

3. Yes, You Can Clean Your Air Fryer with a Dishwasher Tablet

The air fryer has become a modern-day kitchen essential, but anyone who uses one regularly knows the clean-up can be a bit of a nightmare. Grease, crumbs, and baked-on food are all too common.

Bio-D Dishwasher Tablets to the rescue!

Here’s how to clean your air fryer basket and tray safely:

1. Remove the basket and tray: Make sure they’re cool and detach from the main unit.
2. Fill a sink or washing up bowl with warm water: Drop in half a Bio-D Dishwasher Tablet (or a whole one for heavy-duty grime).
3. Soak for 20–30 minutes: Let the tablet do the work of loosening grease and stuck-on bits.
4. Scrub gently: Use a soft sponge or cloth, no need for anything abrasive.
5. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Avoid using tablets on the electrical components or non-removable parts of your air fryer. But for the basket and tray? It’s a total game changer.

4. Other Surprising Uses for Dishwasher Tablets

Still have a few tablets spare? Try these bonus hacks:

• Bin deodoriser: Drop half a tablet in the bottom of your bin with a bit of water to neutralise smells.
• Cleaning patio furniture: Dissolve a tablet in warm water and use it to scrub down plastic or metal garden chairs and tables.
• Grout brightener: Gently rub a dampened tablet on stained grout lines to lift dirt.

These tricks are especially handy when using eco-conscious, fragrance-free tablets that won’t leave chemical residues behind, perfect for family homes and those with sensitive skin or allergies.
