One of the greatest pleasures in life is to have a delicious meal in good company. But at the end of this good time comes one of the most unpleasant tasks: washing the dishes. Today many of us have a dishwasher, one of the most beloved and useful of home appliances.

And who doesn't have a dishwasher in their home these days? Of course, those without a dishwasher will be forced to wash the dishes by hand. Where this is the case, the temptation to "put off" this chore can be great.

Fortunately, something can help make this chore easier: a tea bag. Read on to find out more:

Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world and is enjoyed all year round. And a tea bag can be used for many more purposes than just making tea: tea (in bags) can, in fact, be used for eye compresses, to treat acne and relieve sunburn; the bags are also excellent fertilizers for your plants, can become air fresheners and be used to polish furniture.

But how can a tea bag help us in the task of washing dishes by hand? If you don't have the will or the time to wash the dishes right away, don't leave them in the sink as they are (which will cause the food residue to harden and smells to develop). Fill the sink with water and put 3 or 4 tea bags in it (even already-used ones will work). Thanks to the tea bags, pots, pans snad dishes will not smell bad and the dirt will dissolve, making your hand-washing job easier the next day.

It's a brilliant tip, don't you think?
