There’s a new cleaning hack that went viral on social media and it’s the easiest way to clean your washing machine. Have you tried it yet? All you need is a dishwasher tablet and the results are supposed to be amazing!

After a woman shared this genius trick in an Australian Facebook group called Mums who Clean, thousands of people decided to try it and were thrilled by the results. As it turns out, simply popping one dishwasher tablet in the washing machine and turning on a hot cycle is all you need for a sparkling clean washer! But is it safe?

Experts weighed in to answer this question: “Cleaning your washing machine is essential to get rid of the dirt, mold, and bacteria that will have built up in the drum and pipes,” large appliance expert Lauren Clark told Ideal Home. “Not only this, but it will ensure that the machine runs efficiently and keeps your clothes looking bright and fresh.” According to her, dishwasher tablets are not likely to cause damage to the washing machine, but it may be a good idea to use the laundry detergent instead or follow the instructions you got with your appliance.
