5. Devices do not stickDo not have the smell of dirty, sticky plaque.

But there are also those who have little pleased with the result. Of the basic claims can distinguish poor washing heavily soiled dishes, the remains of the raid on the plates.

But it may be due to the misuse of the machine or dishwasher features the most - some models do not recognize the means 3-in-1, which affects the cleanliness of utensils.

What problems can arise?

It often happens that the agent is not soluble in the machine. This occurs for several reasons: drug is delayed or improperly stored (gets wet and frozen), blocked load chamber, water enters poor pressure. You need to check all these things to fix the problem.

# 1 - Improper loading of dishes

Full use of space dishwashers camera - it is profitable, but overload affects the quality of cleaning.

Laid the utensils you need so as to leave space between the devices, and it is easily flushed with water. It is recommended to remove the remains of food from the surface.

In order not to be disappointed in the means for the dishwasher, do not download it floats, chesnokodavilku, cans and bottles with labels

It is impossible to ignore the instructions from the manufacturer. There are devices that can be placed only on the top shelf: bowls, cups, small objects. Bottom placed pots and pans, cutlery.

Improper positioning of dishes in the chamber machines can not only lead to a bad wash, but also damages.

# 2 - a fake from the market and shops

Craftsmen often counterfeited popular products, somatic tablets - is no exception.

It is better to buy them in a proven point of sale, which monitor the quality, so you do not make hasty conclusions about unscrupulous manufacturers.

# 3 - allergies and irritations

If you suddenly got the means to mucous, flush them with water, using plenty of clean liquid.

If irritation does not decrease, it is necessary to seek help from doctors, and to take with packaging.

As part of the protease there, so there are cases of allergic reactions. Box of pills need to hide in a place inaccessible to children

The comparison with its closest competitors

What is in the range of domestic and Russian producers? Each of them is trying to distinguish themselves from the competition by some know-how.

Some offer low price, other - auxiliary functionality, others are building marketing on the packaging and appearance. Take for comparison of 3 most popular funds in the Russian market: Finish, Fairy, Frosch.

Finish - the first in the ranking of users

Finish leads in the number of positive reviews. But sometimes can not cope with the tea and coffee deposits.

These pills can be washed with silver and glass products without fear that it will lead to corrosion. Their composition added flavoring components for glass, metal, antimicrobial additives.

In most positive reviews, some users still complain about the divorce after washing with pills Finish. Another negative - the high price

A powerful collection of components allows to obtain an excellent result - mainly dishes washed clean, and by visual inspection is not satisfactory.

But the manufacturer has invested a lot of money in advertising, so in recent years has risen in price means and users began to look for a replacement.

As an inexpensive alternative, you can use somatic, which is quite possible, eliminate some of the shortcomings hyped means.

Fairy - quality and convenient capsule

Funds from the Fairy does not look like a tablet, and a pillow. As planned by the manufacturer of such powerdrops efficiently and gently wash the dishes without leaving streaks, clean old pollution cope with the fat. The composition also includes components that protect the dishwasher.

Fairy larger than Somat, therefore, in a small bay machine may get stuck and do not dissolve. Another drawback - not cut in half capsule

samorastvoryaetsya, so the capsule shell they do not need to disclose prior to use, but should be stored in a dry place.

The instructions stated that the Fairy laid in the slot machines, but if it is small, it is possible to throw the pill in compartment for cutlery. In the latter case, you need to choose a program without pre-wash.

Fae are easier to use, but a better quality of cleaning with them is not proven, a special comparative testing of tablets for dishwashers somatic was conducted.

Frosch - the minimum number of chemicals

Frosch combines a relatively high price and excellent quality of washing. It consists of surfactants of vegetable origin, no phosphates, formaldehyde, borates.

The formulas are safe for the skin and are dermatologically tested. Frosh can safely wash baby dishes, rubber, plastic, silicone toys of good quality.

Natural substitutes for chemical ingredients in these pills affect the quality of the "work" - dishes clean, but after hand washing. Another cons: rough packaging that needs to be cut, plus a tool often crumbles

Members note perfect washing even using half tablets. But with such a loading means can not wash heavily dirty dishes. The only negative - the high cost, but it is also the lowest when compared to other tablets Series "eco".

Somatic cheaper, but is filled with chemistry - the customer chooses what it considers safer.

Comparison Chart of funds in the form manufacturers, the cost of one pill, shelf life, the presence of soluble film and other parameters will help determine the choice.

The table shows that the most expensive and environmentally friendly means of a Frosch, and the manufacturer has taken care of Finish ease of use, giving customers a choice of cardboard packaging or package, as well as soluble shell tablets.

But the best of the classic consumer price-performance ratio was Somat.
