Fairy Platinum Dishwasher Tablets

Superior dishwashing.

I am no longer as brand conscious as I was and prefer to save a few pennies or pounds and buy products that are on offer. Fairy is a brand I know and trust but only buy when on offer now, so was excited when I got the chance to try out this new product.

The tablets are in a pouch with silver edges with FAIRY in bright red and bright green and blue swirls too, quite an attractive package. My pouch contained 20 action packed square shaped plastic coated tablets. The base contains a white powder with a few blue speckles and on top there is some green liquid and two shades of blue liquid swirls. Each section has its own job to perform. There is a lovely clean fresh smell when you open the re-sealable bag.

The platinum tablets are described as being the professional’s choice, giving you the confidence to cook anything knowing that it will cut through the toughest grease and get your dishes sparkling. Plus it will also leave your dishwasher clean and sparkling too.

Platinum tablets are said to have Rinse aid action, salt action, metal shine, tea stain removal and glass protection, so many actions in one small tablet, in fact 14 functions in all. Can this be possible I wondered? I’ve only got two tablets left so have used the other 18 tablets over the last weeks now and have to say we rarely have had any dishes needing to be re-washed and the dishwasher is looking nice and clean. As we live in a soft water area I don’t normally add salt to the dishwasher, so this is perhaps not a benefit having it built in for me.

It is easy to use, the tablet is placed into the dispenser drawer and the pouch can be re-sealed to keep dry and safe, as it is an irritant care must be taken not to puncture the plastic wrapper. If it won’t fit in the dispenser it is suggested to place it on top of the cutlery and select a programme without a pre-wash. I didn’t have a problem and it fitted in easily. Care must be taken not to have wet hands when handling them as they start to “melt, as I discovered one day! As with all dishwashers care should be taken and antique or hand painted dishes should be washed by hand, but I haven’t noticed any problems with my dishes with fading or cloudy glasses, so I think the product does what it says and keeps the glasses protected – including some crystal glasses which I felt lazy and washed in the dishwasher!

Baked on foods have come off, just one tiny bit left on after making a baked sponge and egg custard pudding – rather like Bread and butter pudding but I used lemon cake with extra lemon curd and blueberries. Even tomato based stains on plastic bowls have been removed and therefore I have to congratulate Fairy on a brilliant product.

The information I received from savvy circle suggested checking the filter and seeing if it was cleaner after using Fairy Platinum. I was surprised, no shocked to see how awful my filter was. Grotty, minging call it what you want it was disgusting. But after using the Fairy Platinum once it was better and after a few times it positively shone. Very impressive and my machine looks so clean and shiny inside too, that I don’t need to buy special cleaners. If the filter is clean and the machine clean then the dishes must be cleaner too.

Tesco currently sell Fairy Platinum 20 size for £6.00 which is 30p a wash but Asda have it for only £5.00.

Well done fairy another fabulous product.
