‘OMG, I’m never using anything else in my dishwasher or washing machine. I’m addicted to Lectric Washing Soda, dishes/glasses come out sparkling, whites are whiter,’ the woman posted.
Faye added that she simply placed one teaspoon of the Lectric Washing Soda into the compartment where she’d usually put a dishwashing tablet, and then set her machine to a regular wash.
‘It’s my one go to!’ Faye wrote. ‘It’s fantastic.’
People were quick to jump on board with the trick, saying they couldn’t wait to try it for themselves.
‘I have been putting a small tablespoon in my dishwasher and my dishes are much cleaner,’ one person said.
Others said they have also seen results after just one wash.

‘The surface spray recipe is also great,’ Faye said.
‘I just tried using it on a small patch of my oven door also… AMAZING job it has just lifted any grime straight off!’

Lectric Washing Soda first took the internet by storm last year, when a group of cleaning experts recommended it as part of their ‘miracle cleaning spray’ that can transform just about anything.
The spray can be made in the comfort of your own home and only requires five household ingredients.
Simply gather 1.5 litres of water (one cup of which should be boiling), 300ml of vinegar, 60ml dishwashing liquid, 25ml eucalyptus oil and three teaspoons of washing soda – which is also known as sodium carbonate.
BEFORE: The filthy marks in this laundry sink had been created by leftover paint
AFTER: With a few sprays of the ‘miracle’ product, and a bit of elbow grease, the paint stains were removed, and the sink was left sparkling
One of the best known brands in Australia is Lectric, which is made from all-natural ingredients, and is described on the brand’s website as being ‘a great alternative to cleaning products with harsh chemicals’.
Once you have your ingredients ready to go, simply mix the washing soda with about one cup of boiling water to dissolve.
Then add the remaining ingredients and pour it all into a two litre bottle – ideally one with a spray nozzle that will allow for easy application on a variety of surfaces.
