Dishwasher Tablets - Features
So how do you choose the best pills from so many? Here you need to take into account your budget, desires and most importantly - the features of your dishwasher.
As already mentioned, all tablets for the dishwasher have many advantages, the main one being time saving. Other positive points:
- a clear dosage of the agent for 1 cycle of the PPM;
- the possibility of dividing into 2 parts without much effort while maintaining the optimal dosage, if the economic or fast / half mode is selected;
- the lack of flowability effect, which eliminates contamination of adjacent surfaces during loading of the product in the machine and reduces the risk of allergies.
But there are a number of disadvantages:

Choosing the best pills
So, let's start choosing the best tablets for a dishwasher.
Consider the composition:
- Manufacturers recommend using oxygen tablets, they have a light whitening effect and do not harm dishes.
- If you live in an area where the water is pretty hard, we recommend using a softening agent.
On a note! If the package says that the capsule removes even stubborn stains and dirt, then most likely the composition of the product is unsafe.
What does the pill do?
There are many types of tablets for a dishwasher by component: 3 in 1, 4 in 1, 5 in 1 ... all in one.
There is a well-founded opinion that the more components and directional actions the manufacturer positions, the less the actual effectiveness of a particular tool will be. 5 in 1 or more is more of a manufacturer’s advertising move, which purposefully promises the housewives to completely free them from routine work. But in practice, such expectations are far from reality. Anyway, part of the work of caring for the dishes, as well as regular cleaning of the dishwasher itself from scale, etc., you will have to do it yourself.
Therefore, for example, it is better to take tablets for a dishwasher easier, separate salt and other necessary substances for washing separately. The result on the dishes will not affect, but on your wallet - definitely in a positive direction.
Security
An important criterion is environmental friendliness and safety. Unverified products of little-known brands often include aggressive chemical elements that can harm human health.
Important! Pay attention to the label - the composition should be legible and as detailed as possible.
Cost
