Hey.
Can you help me with picking the right dishwasher tablets?
I’ve been using the Fairy original tablets (84pk) I don’t use them often and I’ve had the pack for 6 months... they’ve become really dry and started sticking to each other (no idea why because they just sit in the cupboard in the original packaging)....
I want to try Finish tablets but I’ve heard that they sometimes don’t dissolve in the dishwasher...
Any ideas?

sorted byAgree the Aldi ones are great.
They have stuck together because the plastic wrapping is water soluble and cupboard can be humid
Yes that’s the whole point of the question posted by the OP, to get peoples opinions......or did I miss something here???
I’ve used both fairy and finish, they aren’t better and clean the same. Your just paying for the name.
I used to buy finish, but in an emergency one week I bought Aldi’s. Found the results were exactly the same, Mind you, I don’t have heavily soiled plates and rinse any pans out before putting in the machine.
Even the all in one tablet manufacturers recommend using salt with their product in all but very soft water areas.
I use salt, I live in a hard water area, the softener is set to max. All the salt in the world won't make finish classic tablets usable though.
I've read that if you don't use salt in a water softener for a long time in a hard water area, the ion exchange resin in the softener unit can get coated in limescale stopping it working properly when you do top it up, although you might be able to recover it using citric acid.
Those are the finish Classic ones, they're absolutely dreadful, worst tablets I've ever tried, they leave a horrid grey residue all over my pans and cutlery. They're not the same as the finish tablets sold in major uk supermarkets. (edited)
in your opinion.
Many others are of the same opinion. It’s likely that fairy or finish make the Aldi tablets anyway as happens for a lot of supermarkets!
Min their opinion also. Finish likely make the Aldi tablets because they are a compressed powder no coatingand also not as good as fairy. The fairy ones are totally different and in my dishwasher wash the dishes much better
Oh thanks a lot for that. Will defo try the box of 10.
In your opinion albeit a minority of one
They are consistently rated the best too, they are just expensive
