Washing dishes
These are dishwasher tablets:
These are dishwasher cleaner tablets:
The first ones are the ones you put in the dishwasher along with all the dirty crockery to clean that crockery. The second ones, although they’re in a pretty similar box, in identical individual packaging, and look very similar once unwrapped, go in the dishwasher when it’s empty in order to clean the dishwasher itself.
They are not the same thing.
I have just had a very stern talking to about this!
Heh. I see your point. But the dishwasher cleanrer one does have an image of a “sparkling dishwasher”, whereas the other has an image of “sparkling glasses/kitchenware”.

Ha! You’ve been told! Unluck fella.
I, on the other hand, have the wonderful feeling of achievement when I wash our dishes by hand. I know this might seem a little “old-skool” for most people, but you just can’t beat that handwashed crockery, knowing that you’re not going to pull a dish out the washer which still has some welded on cheese or that horrible chalky feel. PLUS you know what washing liquid looks like and can’t get it mixed up with, say, shampoo.

I wonder if washing liquid is good for cleaning your hair…

Top tip.. Rather than spending money on dishwasher cleaners, simply add a drop of washing up liquid to every wash. This will break down and remove the fatty deposits in the same way as dishwasher cleaner.

Yeah, straight up. Either a bloke told me in a pub, or I read it on the internet. Either way, must be true!
But, yes, it does the trick. Search uk.d-i-y for full details

“you just can’t beat that handwashed crockery,”
Well you can, but then you need to buy new crockery.
Good stress relief, though
