I definitely need to try this – or perhaps change to powder. Using the dishwasher everyday I should try something new.

I didn’t even know there was a dishwasher powder, but a great hack

Sounds good but as I do and see is that a lot of us use powder

I only buy dishwasher powder so I can set the amount based on the dirtiness of dishes, just like with the washing powder. Saves lots of money. I use the Coles brand, from the bottom of the shelf, $4 / kg, perfect, lasts for a month for our family.

I use powder not tablets

A great hack but I don’t feel like it would clean as well. I’m going to give it a go.

I use the fairy tablets that have gel stuff all on them. Might have to switch to plain tablets.

Good to know- they only hack for me is vinegar with every wash instead of fabric softener

We have a dishwasher but I generally don’t use it. Just if I have guests, otherwise it’s easier (and cheaper) to wash by hand.

Well, if this works, the manufacturers are obviously ripping us off!

Good tip for those with a dishwasher. I’m yet to be convinced of needing one, but I will pass this tip on to my kids for testing

I would have to see it for myself to believe it. I remember being told to top up bottles of hand wash and shower gel to make it last longer. Apparently this destroys the preservatives so reduces its shelf life

gees, half the tablet that’s double the life span so much savings!

These companies have labs to try and test these products if they could get more out of their product they would.Maybe I should half fill my petrol tank with water,That would be a real money saver,Cheer’s Krusty.

  You wish !!! The quality of the water we get in some areas would probably “kill the motor” even if we could use water. Volkswagon motors are oil cooled, maybe they could make motors water cooled if we had decent water instead of needing to use coolant.

thanks for the tip – I always try to buy the cheapest dishwashing tablets as I feel it is a lot of money just washed down the drain – I will be sure to try this out – who knows I might even splurge a little and get the next cheapest dishwashing tablets!

Well we will be giving this a go for sure wonderful tip

Will give it a try and see whether it works for us or not. Thanks 🙂

great idea. i will try it

Good to know for those who use the dish washer (we don’t, lol)

Definitely a great idea
