Instead of spending time scrubbing small plastic trash cans, storage bins, baskets, even my plastic dustpan and brush...I put them in the dishwasher!
The dishwasher gets all the grease and build-up off of hairbrushes and combs (after you pull out all the hair, of course!).
I ran my ceramic barbecue grill plates through the dishwasher to remove a lot of the grimy greasy layers. It didn't remove everything, but it softened the grit so that I could easily scrub them clean.
I put my lint catcher from the dryer in the dishwasher once a year to make sure that the waxy build-up isn't preventing air flow through the mesh.
Any small ceramics, pottery items, toothbrush holders and small vases you have for decoration or holding small items in your bathrooms or bedrooms come sparkling clean out of the dishwasher.
**Make sure you DON'T USE THE HEATED DRY OPTION because the hot coils in the bottom of the dishwasher will melt plastic.
