Mum gets her bin lid squeaky clean by putting it in the dishwasher – and she’s gobsmacked by how impressed people are

A MUM who revealed she washes her bin lid in the dishwasher was gobsmacked when her idea was hailed as ‘genius’. 

She prepared herself for a backlash after claiming she gives her bin lid a deep clean every once in a while in the appliance, after taking all the dishes out of it. 

The cleaning fanatic shared a snap of the black and silver pedal bin lid sitting in her empty dishwasher to Facebook group .

She wrote: “So it’s a very rare occasion my dishwasher is empty!

“Does anyone do this and give the lid of the bin a good wash in the dishwasher? 

“BEFORE anyone says it’s dirty / disgusting it is always obviously the only thing in here, and I put my dishwasher on a run through with white vinegar afterwards.

“No I’m not lazy I only do this every so often and it comes out sparkling.” 

After initially preparing herself for a backlash, she was surprised when people praised her tip instead. 

More than 200 people like the post, commenting that they also clean their bins in the dishwasher - with the dishes. 

One person said: “I do mine once or twice a week.” 

Another wrote: “I put anything that will go in. No animals or kids though.” 

A third commented: “This is genius!”

While this person added: “I have exact bin and always put it in the dishwasher. Even with other dishes.” 

Preparing herself for the backlash, the cleaning fan later added: “I was actually expecting a slating (hence why I put the explanation at the end). 

“Nope! No slating at all. You guys are the best.” 

Plus this mum tried to ‘Hinch’ her washing machine with bleach but ends up flooding her kitchen with foam instead.

While this homeowner was branded a genius after using a loo roll holder as a curtain tie.

Meanwhile this woman completely transforms dirty pots using 89p cleaning spray which Mrs Hinch loves.
