FROM cutlery and mugs to dirty plates, a dishwasher is used daily by households up and down the country to get chinaware clean and sparkling.
But one woman revealed she uses her appliance to clean something different altogether – and it's caused quite a stir online.
The anonymous woman took to Mumsnet and told how she washes her toilet brush in the dishwasher "every few months" – yes, you heard correct.

She continued: "A friend popped by this morning for coffee, and I opened the dishwasher to get out a couple of mugs, forgetting that I had put the toilet items in last night.
