About this deal
Scoring the highest of all our tablets on an economy program, this is a savvy switch to make if you’re looking to save on your energy bill without compromising on cleanliness. These tablets delivered an outstanding clean on test; they scored perfect marks on our standard cycle – our glassware was gleaming and cloud-free – and dropped just a few marks on economy and intensive settings.
Another supermarket buy, these tablets were equally strong cleaners across a range of programs. While they performed well in both our test dishwashers, perhaps unsurprisingly, they produced slightly better results in the high-end model. In our mid-range dishwasher, some mugs had a few tea stains remaining, while our Pyrex dish wasn’t free from pasta sauce either.
Finally, ensuring dishwasher salt is topped up will keep the machine cleaner. How we test dishwasher tablets
CLEAN YOUR DISHES WITHOUT PRE-RINSING: Let your dishwasher and the powerful formula of Finish Ultimate All in One dishwashing detergent take care of the dirty dishes without pre-rinsing.*** No need to! Pre-rinsing is a thing of the past. And although many British households do it, it’s time consuming and wasteful of precious resources. Caring for your dishwasher will also boost the cleanliness of your dishes. Stop the filter clogging by scraping off food residue from your plates and bowls before you load it. We recommend cleaning the filter regularly too, ideally after every use, but once a week should suffice. IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.
