When dishwashers were invented, everyone around the globe was quite excited to use them. To be honest, no one ever enjoys washing dishes! It is that one task that’s simple yet annoying at the same time. So, when the dishwasher was introduced, it was considered one of the best inventions. After all, technology’s sole purpose is to make our lives easier. When it comes to using it, certain hindrances come with it: you can wash dishwasher-friendly plates, cups, and bowls only, which does not allow us to get rid of the annoying process of doing dishes. But hey! What if we tell you that you’re not making the use of a dishwasher to the fullest? A few of the things that we think cannot be washed in it can also be washed. So keep reading to get a list of those items.
1. Your Kitchen Broom And Dustpan
Yes, you can clean your broom and dustpan in it! The broom and the dustpan need just as much cleaning as any other object in your house especially if they’re used in the kitchen. So, pop off the brook head and place it with the dustpan in your dishwasher so you have one less thing to worry about.

2. Light fixtures
Anytime you are hosting a party or having guests over, you probably worry a lot about the light fixtures being dirty. However, the good news is that you can wash them in your dishwasher, which will save you a lot of time and energy! You simply place them on the top shelf of the dishwasher and set the wash to a gentle cycle. Finally, dry them with a cloth.

3. Plastic Toys
If you have children at home then you, as a parent, probably take a lot of stress about how dirty or clean their plastic toys are, and may also take out time to wash them. Now, instead of sanitizing them by hand, use the dishwasher! You can put all the plastic toys in it except the ones that might hold water, which may end up hosting mold.
