WE’VE all been there, squeezing every last pot and pan into the dishwasher to avoid having to do any extra washing up.

But sometimes there simply is not enough space for all of your dirty dishes.

However, one mum has shared her genius hack that means you can get so much more in the dishwasher – and it will cost you less than a tenner.

Posting in the Kmart Home Decor & Hacks Australia Facebook group, the woman revealed she had purchased a draining board rack, which is intended to sit over your sink to dry plates and utensils.

“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.

Although the exact model is not available in the UK, B&Q sells a very similar design for £7.

Other mums praised the idea, with many saying they “never thought to use them like that”.

“Such a good idea!! I’ve only ever used mine on the sink. I can’t wait to use it in the dishwasher,” one person wrote.

“I need one just so my kids get the hint the dishes go into the dishwasher not the sink,” another mum joked.

“You are a genius, need that for my dishwasher,” one commenter wrote.

Another said the “super genius” idea was going to “save me a new machine”.

It is important to remember that the product is not specifically listed as ‘dishwasher safe’ so it could be prone to some damage if you do try the hack.
