The general properties of a tablet formulation
The main advantage of tablets as compared to powder or gel - in a convenient form of release. They already have everything you need to wash quality cookware to the main types of pollution.
Today it is not unusual to see the multi-functional tablets, 3-in-1, 5-in-1 or even all-in-one.
Russian the manufacturer promises that it means simultaneously performs 7 functions, thereby adding no additional components to improve the result is not required
Thus, the young Russian company Splat, which produces BioMio tablets, claims that their action provides complex effect immediately in 7 areas:
- removal of contaminants, including persistent such as fat burning-and dyes;
- facilitating the process of rinsing and prevention of stains on the dried dishes;
- giving luster glass, porcelain and metal surfaces;
- prevention of plaque formation and extension of service dishwashers;
- neutralization of unpleasant odors and refreshing the working chamber;
- Ease of use due to a water-soluble packaging of each tablet;
- application of safety for health and the household no harm to the environment.
The tablets have a standard size and simply placed in the corresponding compartment dishwasher. One package contains 30 pieces of them, which is enough just for one month, if the dishes are washed every day.
Packaging made of cardboard, which is easy to soak, so it is better to shift the contents of a plastic container
In a cardboard box which is stored tablets, but it is made of biodegradable material, besides not firmly locked, and so that it and the contents should be protected from moisture.

Compare the prices of goods with a similar action
It seems that due to the expanded functionality and the use of natural ingredients means It is more expensive than Russian and some foreign brands are also positioning themselves as eco-friendly. However, the daily use of tablets Biomio, intended for dishwashers, more economical than the products of recognized European plants like Ecover or Sodasan.

As the table shows, the tablets of Russian production are more expensive than similar funds without eco-labeling, but cheaper than their foreign counterparts, so that they can be safely attributed to the average price segment.
The fact that this facility, as well as his more famous and expensive cousins, refers to environmentally friendly indicates the corresponding markings. It confirms the existence of the certificate "Leaf of Life" - so far only in the territory of the Russian system of voluntary environmental certification, which is recognized by the World Organization of eco-GEN.
Household chemicals brand "Bio Mio" has passed voluntary certification program "Leaf of Life", which It provides product testing laboratory, an audit of the process of production and annual re tested
At the same time, we know that the certifiers GEN when assessing a product pay more attention to its efficiency, and the list of prohibited ingredients in this program is not as strict as, for example, or EcoGarantie Ecocert. So whether you need to pay extra for safer pills imported origin or stay in the domestic means can be found, if we analyze the composition of the latter.
Study of harmless ingredients
To cope with persistent tablets contaminants therein, like any detergent, must present the following substances:
- Surfactants or detergents. Promote rapid separation of the dirt from the element surface.
- Phosphates. Create an alkaline environment in which the protein contamination fall into peptides and amino acids, and thereby enhance the effect of the surfactant.
- Oxygen bleach. In addition to the direct functions needed for disinfection tableware accessories.
- Aromatic components. Provide a pleasant smell and washed dishes in the dishwasher.
Harmlessness tablets depends on the level of aggressiveness of certain components with respect to the human body and / or the environment.
There are specific studies that indicate that anionic surfactants, phosphates, chlorine-containing substance and Artificial flavoring agents are toxic, so the developed countries the share of the content is limited to 5%.
About how flawless regarding conservation structure, it is possible to judge, remembering some of the lessons from the school course in chemistry and biology (+)
Composition, claiming to be sustainable, must be ruled out completely the above substances, so manufacturers are replacing them with safer alternatives. Let's see how to cope with this task the Russian company. We offer to study, as indicated in the composition of the tablets for the dishwasher Biomio, and which properties are used substances.
connection Name |
The number, the manufacturer,% |
Act |
The oxygen bleaching agent | 15–30 |
The water is decomposed into oxygen and soda ash. Oxygen combats blots of plant origin and disinfects and regulates soda water pH-level and reduces the activity of calcium and magnesium ions, which increases the efficiency of agents. |
polycarboxylates | < 5 |
Low toxicity alternative to the phosphates with the same exposure - softening of water and desorption of the contaminants. |
nonionic surfactants | Not indicated |
Active detergent component that, "sticking" to the mud deposits, crushes them and contributes to problem-free removal. Unlike anionic surfactants, non-irritating to the skin and mucous membranes of the body, and does not accumulate in the wastewater. |
Natural fragrance of eucalyptus essential oil | Not indicated |
The odorant used for giving content dishwashers fresh smell. Allergies is not recommended. |
enzymes | Not indicated |
Enzymes which are capable of millions of times accelerate the breakdown of proteins and fats, turning them into soluble compounds readily removable from the surface. |
limonene | Not indicated |
It is a natural flavor, disinfectant and preservative. |
Can confuse the presence of any of these ingredients in the vehicle, which the manufacturer advertises as an eco-friendly? Yes and no. Indeed, the table does not matter with proven toxic and banned by other countries for use in detergent ekosredstvah.
However, it is unclear what kind of an oxygen bleaching agent used - percarbonate, perborate or sodium perphosphate? These salts are considered harmless to humans, but, according to some sources, sodium perborate detrimental effect on plants that may come into contact with him after the release to the environment. Agree, this impact is associated with bad ekolineyki of the product.
At first glance, the composition is flawless and really has the full right to the title safe, but some points still in doubt
Also, questions arise concerning the number and origin of non-ionic surfactants and enzymes. In addition, people with allergies and for people with a delicate sense of smell may not like the presence of tablets biome eucalyptus essential oil, known for its pronounced flavor. But perhaps this is nitpicking, and judging by the reviews, which belong to actual customers, means has every right to exist.
The real experience of ekotabletok
Now examine the responses of those who have for some time enjoyed tablets Bio Mio, and managed to make an opinion of them. I must admit that the majority of consumers (over 65%, judging by the number of samples of reference sites) recognize the quality of the product high. Thus, almost 80% who responded large enough effect and usability as well as a low consumption and low toxicity means. However, it was not without flaws.
According to some reviews on a china ware, especially on glasses and pans with non-stick coating, often there are streaks, indicating that the rinse dishes poorly
Positive aspects of application
We offer to study the list of advantages, at which point the real buyers of tablets:
- biodegradable composition as close as possible to the harmless to humans;
- the presence of a water-soluble shell - do not get dirty and do not smell your hands;
- the opportunity to acquire the means low promotional price;
- effective suppression of odors inside the machine;
- no extraneous chemical fragrances on the washed dishes;
- economical use - easy to cut the tablet in half or even a quarter;
- quality cleansing of kitchen utensils, in Vol. h. pots and pans;
- no negative impact on the stainless steel bowl.
As you can see, the advantages of a Russian eco-tablets seen a lot.
Most responses argues that the pill "Bio Mio" washed dishes to shine, and the need to wash it off after the dishwasher manually never occurs
Actual cons means
In the column about the shortcomings of many users point to the high cost of the tablets in the absence of shares, but it recognizes that environmentally friendly means and in comparison with foreign analogues is still small. There are complaints, and for other reasons:
- an inflated number of areas impact - the buyers believe that the "7-in-1" refers more to the hype;
- ekosredstvo still can not cope with the heavily soiled dishes, eg, greased pans and pans with burnt bottoms;
- due to the high salt content of the water in different regions may require additional means for its softening;
- it also happens that on glass surfaces remain visible spots and stains - then you need to add and conditioner;
- some consumers repels the sharp smell of eucalyptus from the package, others feel it even on a clean plate;
- there have been repeated cases of blackening aluminum products and tarnishing crystal.
However, if you carefully read the instructions from the manufacturer, conclusions can be drawn, which is not always the blame for poor quality washing should be assigned to the agent.
You can not ignore the advice of the manufacturer on proper use of funds - on the packaging in black and white indicate to what materials are inapplicable tablets
Tips for use and precautions
On the back side of the packaging manufacturer sought in sufficient detail to explain to their customers, how the products should be used to obtain the most effective and safe result:
- Heavily soiled cookware prior to loading in the dishwasher must be cleaned.
- One wash cycle is recommended to use the whole tablet, you need to put in provided for this purpose compartment.
- Means applies dishwashing liquid at elevated temperatures (50 ° to 70 °), but it must ensure that it does not wash products which can not withstand such temperatures (antique and painted porcelain, crystal, tableware, plastic, wood and bones).
Because of the danger of a strong and irreversible oxidation of aluminum, gold, silver and other metals (except stainless steel) is not recommended to wash items made of precious and semi-precious in the dishwasher metals.
The company manufacturer warns that the result for washing with hard water regions alone, even multifunctional tablets is unsatisfactory and dishwasher need to add special salt and rinse.
