That line is written in a very clickbait / viral “life hack” style, and it’s a bit confusing out of context.
🧼 What it basically means
It’s talking about dishwasher tablets being used for cleaning things other than a dishwasher.
Even if someone doesn’t own a dishwasher, people sometimes buy these tablets because they are used for:
- Cleaning ovens
- Degreasing kitchen sinks
- Removing stains from pots or pans
- Cleaning washing machines
- Soaking dirty cookware
So the “tip” is likely: they’re useful as a general heavy-duty cleaner, not just for dishwashers.
🧠 What the sentence is trying to say (simplified)
“My mother-in-law uses dishwasher tablets for cleaning around the house even without a dishwasher, and it works so well that I started buying them too.”
⚠️ Reality check
It can work in some cleaning situations, but:
- They are not meant for all surfaces
- Can be too strong for delicate materials
- Should be used carefully (not as a universal cleaner)
If you want, I can tell you safe and actually useful household hacks using dishwasher tablets (and what NOT to do with them).
