One product, more jobs
You can do more with Dip
Every Dip sheet is a measured dose of cleaning chemistry in a form you can tear. That makes it useful well beyond the machine it was bought for. Here is what our own households actually do with them.
One sheet, more than the machine
Pick a product
Every tip below uses the sheet you already have. Switch product to see its own.
The same sheet that runs your machine covers the jobs around it.
-
Travel light
Sheets fly: no liquid limits, no leaks. A few in your washbag does a whole trip.
-
Hand-wash anywhere
Dissolve a sheet in a sink or basin. Hotel stopovers, camping, laundrette-free living.
-
Spot-clean stains
Tear off a corner, wet it, and work it into the stain before the wash.
-
Delicates, carefully
Use the Extra Sensitive sheets to hand-wash silk, wool and anything precious.
-
Dose by tearing
Half a sheet for a small load, one for a regular wash, two when the drum is full. The dose is in your hands.
-
Default to cold
The sheets dissolve fully at 20°C and are built to work there, which is kinder to colours and to your energy bill.
-
Colour catchers still work
Use them exactly as you did before. They sit alongside the sheet with no fuss.
Test delicate fabrics on a hidden corner first.
The same sheet that runs your dishwasher covers the jobs around it.
-
Pre-soak baking trays
Dissolve a sheet in boiling water and leave the tray to soak while you eat.
-
Make washing-up liquid
Dissolve a sheet in a bowl or bottle, then wash by hand with a sponge.
-
Air-fryer care
Dissolve a piece in the basket with hot water and run for 5–10 minutes.
-
Oven and hob cleaner
Dissolve a sheet in hot water and work it in with a sponge.
-
Fold it into the drawer
Fold the sheet into the detergent drawer rather than the cutlery basket, so it survives the pre-rinse.
-
Full sheet for heavy loads
Tear nothing. A whole sheet is the dose when the machine is packed and the plates went in dirty.
-
Rescue a tea-stained mug
Tannin is the one stain these sheets find hardest. Run a hotter, longer cycle, or soak the mug in hot water with a teaspoon of oxygen booster for twenty minutes.
-
Soft water, half the dose
In a soft-water area roughly half a sheet is plenty. Overdosing is what causes foam and film, not the formula.
Spot-test delicate surfaces first. Each tip uses a normal torn sheet dissolved in hot water.
The same sheet that fills your spray bottle covers the jobs around it.
-
Mop bucket mix
Dissolve a sheet in a bucket of warm water for sealed hard floors.
-
Glass and mirrors
A fresh bottle and the Dip cloth leave glass streak-free.
-
Fridge and bins
Wipe shelves, seals and bin lids, then rinse food surfaces.
-
Doors, skirting and switches
The touch points everyone forgets. Spray the cloth, not the switch.
-
Taps and stainless steel
Spray, wipe with the Dip cloth, then buff dry. Drying is what stops the water marks coming straight back.
-
The washing machine itself
Wipe the drawer, the door seal and the detergent tray. The machine that washes everything deserves a turn.
-
Sealed car trim
Spray the cloth, not the dashboard, then wipe sealed plastics and hard trim.
Spot-test delicate or unsealed surfaces first. Each tip uses one sheet dissolved in warm water.
A conditioner does one job. These are the ways to get the most out of it.
-
Dose to the load
A full sheet for a large load, half for a regular wash, a quarter for a small one. Tear it and drop it in with your laundry sheet.
-
Drum or drawer, either works
Add it alongside your laundry sheet at the start. There is no cup to fill and nothing to pour.
-
Save it for the fabrics that want it
Everyday clothes, bedding and pyjamas. Skip towels and sportswear, where any conditioner blunts absorbency and wicking.
If a garment is precious to you, wash it on its own first.
