‘Use your tablet as usual, then just place the finished lemon piece or half inside with your dirty dishes,’ she said alongside the video.

‘Just make sure to take out any seeds first,’ she said.

While some already have, backing up the hack.
‘I always do this and I love how my dishwasher smells feels and my dishes are so shiny,’ one mum said.
But some people were concerned ‘little bits of lemon’ would be spread through the machine.
‘I thought so too, but it doesn’t,’ Ayeh replied.
Others shared their own tips for left over lemon.
‘You can also do the same to make your microwave smell nice, I use leftover lime and microwave it for a minute or two. Smells divine,’ one woman said.
