Modern dishwashers use less and less water and energy.
The consumption of dishwasher detergents, however, is increasing continuously although the need for them is not. Therefore, the detergents remain ineffective and not fully used in the dishwasher, were bought superfluously and hence only burden the environment.
Nowadays, the market of dishwasher detergents is mainly dominated by multi-component dishwasher tabs. These are offered as 2-in-1 to 13-in-1 tabs. Contrary to the advertising claims, multi-component dishwasher tabs do not offer any advantages compared with simple dishwasher detergents, but rather enormous disadvantages.
