Savvy woman shares easier way to load your dishwasher that leaves your pots sparkling

A savvy mum has shared an easier way to load your dishwasher - which she says leaves your pots sparkling. Reet-Regina Cabrera, 39, said a handyman told her there's no reason to pop your dishwasher pods in the tray on the inside of the door. She says if you're using pods, you can throw the pod straight into the dishwasher - and it still leaves your pots sparkling. Craft shop owner Reet-Regina, from Tampa Bay, Florida, US, said: "The kitchen had just been remodelled and a repair man came to fix something else. "He saw me loading the dishwasher and told me the best thing to do is throw the pod in the bottom - and that the little slot on the dishwasher door is only for liquid detergent. "I tried it and nowadays I do it both ways - sometimes I use the compartment and sometimes I throw it straight in. "It works just as well either way, but one way takes less effort!" Reet-Regina shared the simple hack on TikTok - amassing almost TEN MILLION views. It got mixed reactions - with some people impressed with the hack, while others were left unconvinced. One user said: "I started doing this and found less soap residue on the dishes when it’s done!" Another agreed: "This is how I've always done mine and it washes perfectly fine. I've had no problems, done it for years!" But the 'hack' was caused controversy - with others saying this is ineffective. They claim the pod would be fully dissolved in the pre-wash cycle with none left for the wash cycle. One warned: "Read the manual for your dishwasher and It will say to put them in the compartment!"
