Eli5 how aluminium foil in the dishwasher makes your cutlery shinier
In: 1
According to a quick internet search, it is this:
“When dishwasher tablets are released in the dishwasher, the detergents found within them oxidizes with the aluminium. This oxidation then helps to remove stains and re-establish the shine that your cutlery once possessed.
The key to this process working is for the aluminium foil ball to be securely contained in the cutlery tray. If the ball is free then it’s going to bounce around your dishwasher and do very little. The ball needs to be fixed in place and in contact with as many knives, forks and spoons as possible for the best results.”
