Adding space to your dishwasher just got easier

Looking for more space in your dishwasher? Perhaps you’ve even considered upgrading – but before you do, take a moment to consider this genius solution one eager Kmart shopper has come up with – using only a $10 item. 

Posting in the Kmart Home Decor & Hacks Australia Facebook group, the woman revealed she had purchased the store’s Over Sink Dish Drying Rack, which is intended to sit over your sink to dry plates and utensils, as well as defrost food.

“Got this for my sink, however, it also works great as an extra rack for the large utensils in the dishwasher,” the shopper wrote, also sharing a photo of the drying rack set up in her dishwasher.

A word of warning: Kmart doesn’t explicitly state that their drying rack is dishwasher-safe, meaning there’s an off chance your particular dishwasher model may not like it.

The dishwasher hack comes as Kmart released its own range of budget white goods online last month.

“The new white goods range was seen as a gap in the market for us to service in this way and provide our customers with everything they need at the lowest prices,” a Kmart spokesperson told news.com.au.
