Why is this free?
We’re dedicated to getting NZ consumers a fairer deal. We provide as much information as we can for free but we rely primarily on membership and donations to fund our work.

This is the best powder in our test and while it doesn't perform as well as some tablets and capsules, it still does a good job of cleaning so gets our recommendation.
