Your dishwasher is only as good as the cleaning tablets you use. Even if you have a high-performance machine, using low quality dishwasher tablets will leave your dishes with bits of food and grease. Dishes may also come out with streaks, residue or water stains.<\/p>\n

Good quality dishwasher tablets leave your dishes clean, sparkling and free of streaks and water stains. They work well even in cold water and can handle the greasiest and dirtiest of utensil without requiring you to extensively pre-rinse them.<\/p>\n

So which are the best dishwasher tablets on the UK market? In this buying guide, we recommend the five top rated products. Our top picks are based on cleaning performance, value for money and verified customer reviews.<\/p>\n

Key Buying Considerations<\/h2>\n

A. All-in-One Formulation<\/h3>\n

Many dishwasher tablets are advertised as being 3-in-1. This means they contain the main washing detergent, rinse aid and salt.<\/p>\n

These multipurpose tablets save you the cost of buying extra dishwasher products. However, if you live in a hard water area, you may need to use extra rinse aid and salt to get a good clean.<\/p>\n

B. Residue and Streak-Free<\/h3>\n

Some tablets do a good job decreasing utensils and getting rid of stuck-on food, but they leave behind a residue on dishes. This can be especially noticeable on glassware.<\/p>\n

Get high quality dishwasher tablets that don\u2019t leave any marks on your dishes. Look through customer reviews to see if there are any complaints of residues on dishes.<\/p>\n

C. Works in Cold Water<\/h3>\n

Make sure the tablets you get work well in cold water. Some tablets don\u2019t dissolve well when the water is not hot enough and can leave dishes uncleaned and with marks.<\/p>\n

Most dishwasher tablets nowadays are formulated to dissolve quickly and completely even in cold water.<\/p>\n

D. Eco-friendly<\/h3>\n

Eco-friendly dishwasher tablets are more expensive but they are better for the environment and your health as well.<\/p>\n

One thing to look for is natural ingredients. Other tablets come with a bio-degradable packaging that disintegrates when the tablet comes into contact with water.<\/p>\n

Phosphate-free detergents have also become more common, as people become aware of the environmental problems caused by phosphates.<\/p>\n

E. Price<\/h3>\n

When comparing prices among different dishwasher tablets, check the number of tablets in each pack. It\u2019ll give you a better idea of the value you are getting for your money. Amazon typically includes the price per tablet for easier comparison.<\/p>\n

Expensive dishwasher tablets cost about \u00a30.20-\u00a30.30 apiece. These are usually 3-in-1 tablets or eco-friendly tablets made with natural ingredients.<\/p>\n

You can get cheaper dishwasher tablets that clean as well for between \u00a30.10 and \u00a30.20 each.<\/p>\n

Avoid cheap dishwasher tablets. They may be a good deal but won\u2019t clean your dishes well. Because you have to use more tablets to get your dishes clean, you\u2019ll often notice spots and residue on utensils.<\/p>\n

Premium dishwasher tablets will cost you more but they are actually better value since you only need to use a single tablet per load.<\/p>\n
