Okay, enough of that.
Recently, I have discovered a couple of other uses for my dishwasher. While cleaning my dishes is enough, there is more that it can do. And I plan to use it for all it's worth!
- Hairbrushes. I remember one of my college friends told me one time that her mother told her there wasn't much point in washing your hair if you never washed your brush. For the life of me, I couldn't think of a good way to wash my brush...until recently. My hairbrush looked almost brand new (except for the teeth marks) when I pulled it out of the dishwasher. Now I just have to remember to bring it downstairs when I'm about to wash some dishes.
- Baby toys. Rachel has a lot of rubber and plastic toys that she inherited from Sarah Beth and Daniel. Because of my lazy streak, I really don't want to spend (waste) the time washing them. Tada! The dishwasher does it for me. I just stick them in the top rack, and they come out looking new...again except for the teeth marks.
Do you use your dishwasher for anything other than washing dishes? Please share!

Hi Nikki!
I use my dishwasher for LOTS of things too! Though it sounds odd, I wash my kids bath toys (to keep mold/mildew,etc.) at bay and also wash my dish-washing brushes to keep them clean. I have been known to throw in my toothpaste holders, soap containers, and knick-knack holders (like one for Q-tips, cotton balls, etc.) to keep them clean and dusted sporadically. I also wash candlesticks/holders, sand toys before I store them for the winter and other odd things.
BTW- this is Evelyn (In Canada!).You do such beautiful handwork!!!
Great ideas! Thanks, Evelyn!
