What tablets for a dishwasher to choose?

Tablets for a dishwasher can be attributed to the most popular types of detergents. Among the advantages - ease of use (round shape and small size) and the ability to accurately calculate the number of downloads (each tablet is dosed).

Many tablets for dishwashers contain three components: the detergent itself , the water-softening additive and the rinse aid. A more detailed composition is as follows:

- alkaline salts (they perfectly dissolve fats);

- phosphates (due to them there is no calcareous scale);

- active substances (allow to reduce the surface tension of water and reduce the number of white spots after drying of already washed dishes);

- enzymes that break down fats and proteins (in this form they are washed off much better);

- anti-corrosion additives (reduces the risk of corrosion of the elements of the dishwasher);

- anti-foaming agents;

- perfume fragrances.

Tablets can be single-layered (a kind of standard powder, but extruded) and multilayered (or combined, such as "3 in 1").

The rate of dissolution of the layers should be taken into account. With short programs, the tablets do not dissolve completely, so you'll have to wash the dishes again (it's better to immediately set the "norm"). Dosage (consumption) depends on the dimensions of the dishwasher, the degree of hardness of the water and the contamination of the dishes.

It is difficult for an inexperienced person to decide the choice of the manufacturer. Perhaps the most correct decision is, perhaps, only their own experience. It is better to try out various tablets for the dishwasher yourself, and only then - to choose the best.

What means are most often bought by other consumers? Tablets for the dishwasher Finish and Fairy are in great demand. They have the same high quality, they wash even the heavily soiled dishes perfectly. But the prices vary significantly. Fairy tablets for a dishwasher can be bought for 300 rubles ("Platinum" - 24 pcs., An average of 12.50 per one), and Finish - 500 rubles ("All in One" - 90 pcs., That is, 5.50 For one). By the way, Finish Calgonit is not inferior in popularity either.

Most users who have tried all kinds of tablets, say: there is practically no difference in quality. Regardless of the type of dishes washed equally well ("3 in 1" does not differ from the "10 in 1").

Tablets for a dishwasher are used, as a rule, with packing (it does not need to be torn, because even the shell dissolves quickly). If a different method of use is assumed, this will necessarily be indicated either on the packaging or in the attached annotation. Do not forget: the compartment intended for salt should be in the open state.

With the functions "3 in 1" on the additional addition of salt, as the producers say, you can forget. However, water softens by passing through the ion exchange resin, and the salt we fill up helps it to regenerate (recover). In other words, during the dishwashing process this additive does not participate. It seems that the manufacturer is a little cunning. After all, to the tablet "3 in 1" there is simply no reason to add salt, because in order to really perform the functions of regeneration, it needs to pass a completely different path. Which exit? Use salt separately.
