Dishwasher 'secret' hack reveals hidden feature - but people are divided
Dishwashers have become an essential part of our kitchens, aiding in the cleaning of dishes, glasses, and containers. While traditional washing up still does the trick, dishwashers can be a real-time-saver, allowing us to avoid daily wash-ups by running the machine every few days instead.
Yet, it seems not everyone is clued up on the appliance's 'secret' feature. TikTok user hotdogsilly revealed a game-changing dishwasher hack to her followers, captioning her post: "My whole life is a lie."
She was astonished after discovering a video demonstrating how to adjust the height of the dishwasher's top shelf.

The video shows someone struggling to fit a stemmed wine glass into the top drawer because it's too tall. But there's a quick fix: by clicking a lever on each side of the top shelf, it drops down, creating enough space for the wine glass stems.
These levers, found on either side of the top shelf, can be pushed in to lower the shelf and make room for taller items. At the end of the video, hotdogsilly checks her own dishwasher and is thrilled to find it has the same feature, reports the Mirror.
As expected, the comments section was abuzz with reactions to this lesser-known hack.
"Ok so this one video proves that the 1000 hours I have spent here was actually all worth it," one person said, as reported by Tyla. While many managed to utilise the hack, some were left puzzled over how to return the top shelf to its original position.
One user admitted: "I just tried it and it worked but I don't know how to get it back up there lol."
Another pleaded: "I did it but how to fix it now, HELP."
It was noted by some that not every dishwasher comes with this feature. However, one individual found a humorous workaround: "My dishwasher doesn't have this so I have ordered a new kitchen."
