Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will dishwasher tablets harm my hands?
A: When diluted properly in water, they’re usually mild and less drying than some dish soaps. Still, if you have sensitive skin, wear gloves.
Q: Can I use tablets for delicate items like crystal or fine china?
A: It’s better to stick to gentle dish soaps for delicate items, as dishwasher tablets can be a bit harsh.
Q: How many tablets should I use per wash?
A: Just one tablet per sink or basin load is enough. More won’t necessarily make it cleaner.
Q: Can I use these tablets in cold water?
A: They dissolve best in hot water for maximum effectiveness.
