How to use Fairy dishwasher tablets

People often search for Fairy dishwasher tablets in stores and can't find them. This is because this well-known household chemical manufacturer creates and distributes only capsules, not tablet-based products. The problem is that using Fairy tablets would be much easier than using capsules, as a tablet fits perfectly in a separate compartment of a household chemical dispenser, whereas a capsule simply won't. We'll explain in detail how to use Fairy to ensure perfect dishwashing results every time.

Features of using Fairy capsules

First, let's take a closer look at the dishwasher capsule itself and the instructions for using it correctly. Fairy capsules have a shell that dissolves easily in water, so they should be carefully stored in a dry place and never handled with wet hands. The capsule itself contains all the necessary chemical elements needed for both washing dishes and gentle care of the dishwasher. The only other household chemical the machine needs besides the capsule is special dishwasher salt, which helps the machine's ion exchanger combat hard tap water.

Never use table salt or any other salt other than special salt granules designed specifically for dishwashers, as such products will not cope with their intended function - regenerating the resin in the ion exchanger.

If salt has already been added to the salt compartment, you're ready to start the wash. Open the "home helper" and place the dirty dishes inside, having previously cleaned them of any food residue, napkins, tea bags, pits, and other debris. Then, with dry hands, remove the capsule and place it in the cutlery compartment. At this point, it's important to place the capsule next to the dishes, not on the bottom of the wash chamber or in the tablet compartment.

After this, all that's left to do is close the wash chamber door and activate the "3-in-1" mode on the control panel. This mode is designed specifically for capsules. This is a must-do for dishwasher owners whose smart "home helpers" can't independently detect the "3-in-1" detergent. Failure to activate this feature may cause the capsule to dissolve unevenly, resulting in poor cleaning results. Now run the cycle and wait until the capsule dissolves completely and cleans the dishes perfectly. If you find capsule residue on the bottom of the chamber or on the dishes after washing, either the detergent was counterfeit or the dishwasher simply failed to detect the household chemical.

What types of Fairy capsules are there?

It's difficult to use Fairy tablets correctly without understanding the features of the different capsules, which vary significantly across the line. First and foremost, it's important to remember that any capsule, regardless of its composition, will clean dishes to a perfect shine the first time. Secondly, Fairy's solution can handle stains even in cool water and in relatively short wash cycles. Finally, the capsules can be used in virtually any water hardness.

Now it's time to look at the differences between detergents, for which we will begin by analyzing the MS product , available in both lemon-flavored and non-lemon-flavored varieties. The company advertises this product as a multi-functional invention for dishwashing and other cleaning tasks, available not only in small packages of 30 or 60 units, but also in large packs designed for 90 or more cleaning cycles. Each capsule comes in a convenient, individual package that dissolves completely in water, so there's no need to open it yourself first. These small pads contain not only dishwashing gel and powder, but also a special salt to soften hard water, so after using these capsules, there will be no streaks or food residue on your dishes.

The next product we'll examine in detail is Fairy All in 1, a pressed capsule in a waterproof ziplock bag that combines white powder with green and blue gels. The company guarantees that using this type of Fairy tablet allows you to:

• Ideal for washing dishes;
• Remove all stubborn grease;
• Remove any dried stains from cutlery;
• Give dishes a bright shine;
• Clean cutlery not only in hot but also in cold water;
• No need to waste time unpacking capsules, as the packaging completely dissolves during the working cycle;
• Carefully wash fragile glassware and delicate silverware;
• Fight scale build-up on the internal components of the dishwasher;
• Kill all harmful bacteria on dishes.

To experience all the benefits described above, simply place one capsule in the dishwasher's dispenser compartment or leave the detergent in the fork, spoon, and knife compartment. However, in this case, avoid using the pre-wash cycle, as Fairy All in 1 will handle the tasks perfectly during the main wash cycle.

Fairy All in 1 can only be used in water with a hardness of no more than 21 dH.

The only downside to this product is that it shouldn't be used on crystal, porcelain, or other antique tableware, as it could accidentally damage expensive cutlery. If you're washing silverware, be sure to avoid contact with stainless steel. Capsules are available in packs of 26, 39, 52, or 65.

Let's move on to the Fairy Jar All in 1 capsules, featuring an improved detergent formula, as the manufacturer so loudly advertises. The company claims that using Fairy tablets of this type will not only clean dishes perfectly but also remove any dirt inside the dishwasher, thanks to an advanced anti-scale system. The manufacturer also promises the following in the capsule instructions:

• Work without restrictions in cold water thanks to the powerful cleaning elements in the product;
• Remove any dirt and grease;
• Work with pre-wash mode;
• Remove even tea stains from mugs and cups;
• To give a bright shine to glass products;
• Make steel cutlery shine;
• Fight limescale to extend the life of your dishwasher;
• Clean glass and silverware carefully.

Of course, the capsule contains not only an active detergent, but also a rinse aid with special salt, additives for gentle handling of silver, metal and glass, plus a special barrier to combat scale.

Finally, let's look at Fairy Platinum tablets, featuring a new formula that allows for even more effective removal of limescale and white deposits from dishes. Like many other products, Fairy's "platinum" solution additionally cleans the dishwasher and prevents corrosion of the appliance's internal components. The tablets are also gentle on steel and silver utensils, have a water-soluble coating, and are "perfect" in cold water. The product consists of the following substances:

• Active phosphates, making up approximately 30%;
• About 15% surfactants;
• Mild food bleach;
• Other phosphonates;
• Enzymes that allow you to fight stubborn fat as effectively as possible;
• Flavorings;
• Artificial fragrances.

Finally, remember to store Fairy detergents in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, and at temperatures below 35 degrees Celsius. If the capsules are left in a damp place or come into contact with water, the packaging will either be damaged, the gel will leak, the powder will become soggy, or the tablets will stick together, which will also impair dishwashing.
