When planning to buy a dishwasher, you need to understand that for the proper washing of appliances you will need special tools. Gels and powders will have to be purchased regularly, but on which tool to choose? Consider the advantages and features of a liquid washing gel for a dishwasher.
PMM Detergent Features
Washing gels are convenient and economical to use - special bottles with dispensers allow you to measure the right amount of liquid. The composition of the liquid detergent is similar to powder, but it does not have abrasive particles, so it dissolves faster and does not damage the surface of the plates.
The main advantages of liquid products:
- Gently clean delicate appliances (glass, porcelain).
- Do not spill and are easily dosed.
- Do not emit chemicals into the air, stored in closed containers.
Liquid tablets (capsules) are most convenient to use. Just put one bag in the detergent drawer. No need to measure anything and get your hands dirty.
How to use a dishwashing detergent
There is nothing complicated to use, the main thing is to carefully read the instructions on the package. If it is a bottle with a cap, measure the right amount of gel, open the chamber door and find the dispenser. Where to pour the liquid? There is a lidded compartment next to the powder compartment. Pour the product there, load the plates and install the desired washing program.
Note! Gel for dishes is supplied in concentrated form. Therefore, you can add 1/3 of the specified amount on the package. The quality of the wash will not be affected.
Forum users are advised to put a little on the basket. Then the foam will be more plentiful, and the appliances will be washed better. How practical this advice is - judge for yourself. But keep in mind! Excess foam in the hopper can lead to leakage and activation of Aquastop protection.
Review of the best gels
Consider the most popular and effective liquid dishwashing detergents.
Somat all in one
The multifunctional All-in-1 gel is interesting in its presentation. The bottle has two parts in which different substances are placed. At a dosage they mix up, providing purity and gloss to devices. According to the manufacturer, Somat All in one does not require additional use of salt and rinse aid. 600 ml in a bottle. The price is from 700 rubles.
Lera
I decided to try the new Somat for the dishwasher. I have been using liquid products for a long time, since they dissolve better and do not dust. I saw an advertisement, so I bought it in a store. Two bottles are attached to one dispenser. In one of them is a blue liquid, in the other a green one. It is unclear why this was done, because if you tilt the bottles more strongly, then more liquid will pour out more.
Immediately pleased, the rinse aid and salt still remained in the car. There are no stains on the dishes, everything is clean and pleasant. But then the rinse aid indicator lights up. After that, stains began to appear on the plates. After washing, the smell of washing gel came from appliances! So that even in food the taste was felt. That is, the tool is washed disgustingly. Did not like. Yes, and a little expensive. Rinse aid "Somat" is also not recommended to use.
Top house
Gel produced in Germany includes a rinse. Effectively launders dishes even on a quick program. The tool is convenient to use, because you can dose it directly into the compartment of the dishwasher. Until you press the container, the liquid will not spill out. Washes fat even in cold water. The cost of a 720 ml bottle is from 600 rubles.
Tatyana
The tool appeared in stores recently, the consultant immediately pointed to it. Took a try. I liked that it can be used at half load, because it is a pity to put the whole tablet. I have a narrow dishwasher, so I poured half of the indicated dosage in the instructions.
It is stated that Top House washes fat in cold water. I set the program to 70 degrees, but there was a greasy residue on the pots. You may need to use more products for a better wash result. As soon as I opened the door, the smell of fragrances hit my nose. Rinsed the dishes under the tap. But when I put a frying pan on the stove, I again felt the smell of detergent. The question is: why did I buy a dishwasher if I had to rinse the dishes with my hands? The result is not satisfied.
Grass
Universal gel, in consistency similar to liquid soap. Suitable for use in a dishwasher and for hand washing. Can be used for delicate cutlery. Economical consumption is provided, because the concentrate is additionally diluted with water in proportions of 1-3 g per liter.
Alina
I decided to leave a review for the washing "Grass", since it is only gaining popularity. I liked that the gel does not have a specific smell, it seems to wash off quite well. Recently, a girl with Grass buckwheat came to work, said that he has no analogues and launders EVERYTHING. I loaded the dirtiest dishes at home, I can say that even cups of tea and coffee were washed. I liked it, and the price is not high - from 200 rubles.
Lion
It is used even for aluminum utensils without leaving dark marks on the surface. It removes not only food pollution, but also limescale, does not leave stains. Splits fat, stubborn dirt from dishes and the walls of the hopper of the machine. It is made in Japan, the volume of 840 ml. The price is from 300 rubles.
Darya
I have been using the dishwasher for 8 years, and I have not tried any means. The main problem is stains on the surface after washing the dishes. Even the rinse aid did not help. I came across this Japanese miracle, tried and fell in love.
- Lion concentrated, only 6 ml are used at a time.
- Does not leave stains and stains.
- Pleasant, but not saturated smell.
- It is well washed fat, persistent dirt and plaque from tea.
Now I don’t even buy rinse aid. Recommend.
After reviewing product descriptions and customer reviews, you can conclude which is better: gel or powder and tablets. Users have proven that a tool with extensive advertising is not always effective, but it costs twice as much. Have a good choice!
