1 teaspoon enough
Pros
Minimal smell, cleans well, one 2L container lasts me a year.
Cons
The recommended amount is far more than required.
1 level teaspoon is enough to make everything clean, and means it both lasts longer and there’s less chemical smell when I open the clean dishwasher.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
