Three ways to guarantee flawless results from your dishwasher

Tin foil 

One issue many people have when they use their dishwasher is that often their silverware does not come out as clean looking as they would like. Despite even the most effective cycle, some cutlery looks tarnished after being washed. This can be tackled with a very simple solution, using something you probably already have in your home: tin foil. To ensure shining forks, knives and spoons from your next wash, ball up a piece of tin foil and place it in the dishwasher’s cutlery basket. Run the dishwasher on your preferred setting, using your usual dishwasher tablet, and you’ll notice an immediate improvement when the wash completes. Cutlery will be gleaming and untarnished, thanks to a chemical reaction between the tin foil and the dishwasher tablet.
