Mum’s clever hack helps dry your dishes in record time
For many people, the ultimate kitchen pet peeve is when you open your dishwasher after its cycle has finished and while your dishes may be clean, they are still sopping wet.
Rather than running the appliance through another drying cycle, one clever mum has discovered how to dry your dishes in five minutes flat.
Known online for her cleaning hacks and recipes, Babs shared a video to her Instagram to share her savvy hack.
"Has this ever happened to you? You're ready to unload the dishwasher, and guess what!? Everything is still wet," says Babs.
"Don't hand dry - do this instead."
She explains, "Take a terry cloth dish towel, open the door, lay it right over. Just close the door. Wait five minutes. You'll have dry dishes."
Many people thanked Babs for the great tip and confirmed that it really does work.
“Have been doing it since I first saw it here,” said one commenter.
Another added, "Such a great tip! Mine are never dry at the end of the cycle. I'm definitely going to try this.”
Despite the praise for her handy tip, ohers cautioned Bab’s viewers with a warning.
"It can/will compromise the dishwasher seal and locking mechanism, causing costly repairs or early replacement," someone warned.
