Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can dishwasher tablets damage certain surfaces?
A: Yes. Avoid porous or sensitive materials like natural stone, hardwood, and painted walls. Always test a small area first.
Q: Is this safe around pets and kids?
A: Once rinsed thoroughly, yes. But keep the solution and tablets out of reach, and don’t allow pets or children near freshly cleaned, wet areas until dry.
Q: Can I use this hack on windows or mirrors?
