When you want to clean silverware in the dishwasher, take a small piece of aluminum foil and curl it just enough to make a ball. Put the ball in the cutlery basket and operate the machine as normal. The most stubborn dirt and residue will be removed, leaving you with clean, shiny cutlery. You can reuse the same ball of aluminum foil multiple times. Get rid of them the moment they become dirty or smelly. You can also reuse the foil you used to cover the panels for this trick.
How does this trick work?
Accumulated aluminum foil reacts when it comes in contact with the chemicals in dishwasher detergent and hot water. Dishwasher tablets or dishwashing powder look like baking soda. When combined with aluminum particles, the cleaner cleans silver sulfide particles. Thus, the cutlery is shiny and free of stains. This trick is also helpful in avoiding rust spots on cutlery and polishing small scratches.
