Fairy tablets for the dishwasher: review of the product line and customer reviews

The most convenient and economical means for washing cutlery in the dishwasher are All-in-1 capsules.There are a lot of similar miracle pills produced by different companies on store shelves.

Among the assortment you can also find Fairy tablets for the dishwasher, which contain about 10 active substances that can cope with any dirt. In our article, we will consider their features, as well as take a closer look at the brand’s assortment.

General information about Fairy remedies

The Fairy brand has long established itself as a successful manufacturer of bit chemicals for washing dishes. Fairey was developed in Brussels as part of the American corporation Procter & Gamble. Economical consumption, European quality and mountains of clean dishes have made Fairy capsules the best seller among all detergents of this type on the Russian market.

Please note that dishwasher safe capsules and tablets are identical products. The original name of this detergent is dishwasher capsules. The confusion with the translation is due to the fact that products of this type in Russia are called tablets, but are in the form of multifunctional capsules.

Thanks to active concentrated washing elements, Fairy capsules will wash away even old fat and remove burnt food residues. Remember that dishes should be rinsed thoroughly after treatment with such active chemicals.

Any Fairy tablets, according to the manufacturer, can easily cope with grease and dirt, and clean silverware and glassware.One capsule contains concentrated powder and gel, as well as a powerful rinse.

Note that one Fairy capsule, in addition to the main components, contains from four to ten active components. For example, phosphates and special special additives protect the internal parts of the dishwasher from scale and corrosion, active substances ensure that there are no white spots or streaks on clean plates.

Each capsule is wrapped in film, which itself gradually dissolves in water. Please note that the tablet should only be handled with dry hands to avoid moisture getting into the water-soluble coating.

Visually, the Fairy tablet is a small pillow in a water-soluble cover, inside of which there is a powerful dishwashing powder on one side, and two active gels on the other, as well as up to 10 additives.

The tablets already contain salt and rinse aid, but some users note that additional rinse aids and salt will only improve the result

This miracle product works simply: all components simultaneously affect dirty dishes. Fairy tablets effectively wash away grease and dried-on stains not only in hot but also in cold water. Before loading dirty dishes, be sure to remove any leftover food. To familiarize yourself with the rules for loading dishes into the machine, please go to this link.

It is not recommended to use them for cleaning antique or Chinese porcelain dishes or for washing crystal.

If you use capsules, then you should connect the “3 in 1” program (the name of the programs may differ in different brands of dishwashers). This is done so that more water is released to dissolve the capsule.If your dishwasher is capable of analyzing tablets (these are the latest generation brands), then you can choose any program.

In addition, Fairy pressed detergents will take care of the details of the dishwasher, because the capsules contain a special salt. We wrote about the purpose of dishwasher salt in this material.

Powerful Fairy capsules do an excellent job not only of dirty dishes, but also help keep key parts of the dishwasher clean. For example, a filter that no longer needs to be cleaned after each wash

Each dishwasher has a separate compartment for tablets. If the capsule is too large, then place it in a cutlery box. You should not place the tablet in the compartment next to the main dish, as the tablet may dissolve unevenly there, and as a result, streaks or dirty areas will remain on the plates.

Review of tablets (capsules) for PMM

A large number of dishwashing tablets are produced under the name Fairy; let’s look at the line of topical products.

What do all the brand’s capsules have in common? Firstly, 1 tablet, regardless of composition, washes all dishes the first time. Secondly, even with short-term washing and low temperatures, Fairy copes with all contaminants. Thirdly, the product works actively in water of any hardness.

Remedy #1 - Fairy Powerdrops

These small pads, according to the manufacturer, are a multi-functional dishwashing detergent. In addition to powerful detergents (gels and powder), the composition also contains softening salts. After washing with these tablets, there will be no streaks or food particles left on your dishes.Each tablet has individual, water-soluble packaging.

Fairy tablets are suitable for any type of dishwasher. One such capsule is designed for one wash cycle; there is no need to separate them several times

There are different packaging: 30, 60, 90 or more pieces in zip packages. Fairy Powerdrops are available with or without lemon scent.

Remedy #2 – Fairy All in 1

These compressed capsules, like the previous one, are filled with compressed white dish powder, green and blue gels. The tablets are in a waterproof zip bag.

The manufacturer states on the packaging that active cleaning chemicals have the following properties:

• cleans dishes perfectly;
• remove fat efficiently;
• even get rid of stubborn dried dirt;
• give shine to all dishes;
• wash “until squeaky” in both hot and cool water;
• packaging that does not require opening dissolves gradually;
• delicately clean silver and glassware;

The instructions for using the tablets indicate that they must be placed in a special compartment of the dishwasher. If the capsule does not fit into the compartment, then it can be placed in a box for forks and spoons.

In this case, it is not advisable to select a pre-soak program. These capsules will do their job effectively, so you won't need to add special salt or additional rinse aid.

Fairy All in 1 tablets not only clean cutlery, but also take care of the dishwasher. The assortment includes capsules without flavors (Original) or with lemon scent

Please note that these tablets can be used in water with a hardness of no higher than 21 dH.

However, Fairy All in 1 tablets are not recommended for cleaning antique or Chinese porcelain, as well as crystal products. If you want to wash silverware in the dishwasher, make sure that it does not touch stainless steel items.

Fairy All in 1 capsules are packaged in special waterproof packs of 26, 39, 52 or 65 pieces.

Remedy #3 – Fairy Jar All in 1

Fairy Jar All in 1 capsules contain an improved detergent formula, which is successfully used to clean any dirt in the latest generation dishwashers with an advanced system for protecting the device from scale formation.

The capsules, like other products in this line, clean cutlery and pots from various contaminants and give them a delicate shine.

Remedy #4 – Fairy Platinum Tablets

Fairy Platinum capsules contain special gel and powder that prevent the formation of scale and white limescale on dishes. They contain a new formula. Now, in addition to washing dishes, they also take care of the cleanliness of the dishwasher itself, and can also prevent corrosion of the internal parts of the device.

Are you using another dishwashing detergent that doesn't keep your dishwasher clean? In this case, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the best car cleaning products.

Fairy Platinum capsules are one of the most powerful in the line. They are capable of professionally washing dishes, removing dried grease without additional soaking and caring for a dishwasher.

With these tablets, your glass and steel appliances will shine. Fairy Platinum tablets, like other pressed dishwasher detergents, have a soluble shell and begin to actively act on dirt even in cool water.

The capsules contain the following substances:

• about 30% active phosphates;
• no more than 15% surfactants;
• mild food bleach;
• phosphonates;
• enzymes that actively remove fats;
• chemical flavorings;
• artificial fragrances.

Fairy tablets should be stored in a dry, dark place, at a temperature of no more than 35 degrees, avoiding direct sunlight on the package. In a damp room or when moisture gets into the bag, the tablets may stick together or the protective film may be damaged. And this will cause the gel to leak out or the powder to become soaked. The quality of cleaning dishes depends on proper storage of capsules.

Fairy capsules are contained in a specially waterproof bag equipped with a zip fastener. Make sure that no moisture gets inside the bag - it can ruin the product.

Please note that Fairy dishwasher tablets cannot be replaced with liquid detergent of the same brand. And all because the liquid gel forms too much foam, which can completely damage the dishwasher.

In recent years, Fairy tablets have been produced without phosphates.But if there are small children in the family, allergies or any disease are detected, then keep in mind that Fairy capsules contain anionic surfactants.

The abbreviation surfactant stands for surfactants. Exceeding the norm of anionic surfactants adversely affects the human body. To avoid negative consequences, it is recommended to rinse dishes thoroughly with running water.

Customers' opinions about Fairy capsules

Before purchasing compressed detergent, consider not only the manufacturer’s promises, but also real customer reviews.

Positive responses to the pills

Some housewives rarely use Fairy capsules, and as heavy artillery for cleaning heavily soiled, greasy or dried dishes (baking trays, pans, etc.). Buyers of Fairy Jar All in 1 detergents say they are ideal for cleaning baked-on baking sheets and removing dried grease stains without pre-soaking.

Many users note that Fairy All In 1 and Fairy Platinum tablets, along with the dishes, wash the walls of the dishwasher and the drain mesh.

Using any Fairy capsules, you don’t have to worry about the filter becoming clogged with grease. This means that there is no need to clean it every 3-4 washes, as required rules of care behind the dishwasher. The walls of the machine are also crystal clean.

All Fairy tablets are large and should be placed carefully in the compartment. If you do not do this, then, as users note, the capsule will get stuck and the dishes will be washed without detergent

Disadvantages of pressed products

The disadvantage is the high price, but as you know, you have to pay for quality. In addition, manufacturers have proven that Fairy capsules have a good price/quality ratio.This means that you can wash dirty dishes perfectly in cold water in 30-45 minutes.

If the load of dishes is minimal (for example, only half of the maximum number of cutlery), then there is a risk of getting residue on each plate. To avoid this, turn on an additional rinse or manually rinse each item individually. This is especially true for glasses and glassware.

If you are loading a small amount of dishes, then immediately program an additional rinse. Because detergent residue can leave streaks on clean dishes

For some, an undeniable disadvantage is the persistent smell of chemicals that remains on the devices after washing. When you open the machine after washing, the first thing that comes out is a cloud of steam, mixed with a persistent smell of detergent that does not disappear for a long time. Odors on appliances can easily be removed with an additional rinse.

If the aroma remains, then you should thoroughly rinse the washed dishes under running water. After washing, leave the dishwasher open for a while and, if possible, ventilate the room. Or try to purchase capsules without flavors and fragrances.

Don't want to overpay for Fairy capsules? We recommend that you read recipes for making tablets with your own hands from scrap materials that can be found in almost any kitchen.
