Why You Should Stick a Towel in Your Dishwasher

This dish-drying hack is a timesaver.

When it comes to cleaning, having a dishwasher can save you a lot of time and effort. But it’s no secret some dishwashers aren’t the best at drying dishes. Luckily, there’s a hack you can try to help with that. All you have to do is drape a dish towel inside your washer once the dishes have finished their cycle. Leave it there for about five minutes and your dishes should be dry. The trick is that the towel absorbs the steam from the wash and keeps it from condensing on your dishes.
