    I'm one of those people that never really uses their dishwasher, but I've been accumulating a lot of those dishwasher tabs for them (usually combined with other freebie offers online). I googled alternative uses for them, but there wasn't really much there. So maybe I can pick your brains if you guys have any ideas besides giving them away as I can't really think of anyone within my family that may use them.

    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    I just dissolve them in hot water and use the soapy water to hand wash dishes. Free soap is free soap.

    Get one wet and let it start to soften just a little, then use it as a scrubber for washing pots or better yet, for cleaning your sink. I think you could make good use of them for soaking things like the turkey roaster as well. Drop on in with some hot water and let it do the work.

    I usually use dishwasher liquid instead of soaps. They are much easy to use and much more easy to manage. I think they are not very difficult to take care when compared to tabs. I hope to use them for quite a long time and use them very judiciously.
