It’s not unusual for knives, forks and spoons to come out of the dishwasher looking dull and dirty.
Solution
Aluminum foil can make the difference in shine in the dishwasher. Here's how to use it:
Take out a good-sized piece of aluminum foil, roll it up into a ball and place it in the silverware basket.
Then add the silverware.
Start the dishwasher.
You’ll see your silverware shining and looking like new. The aluminum foil interacts with the chemicals in the dishwasher tablets to make the silverware shiny again.
