How we test
Overall score is the average of 6 scores for stain removal.
We test in a controlled lab environment using plates that are pre-stained. We get the plates from the same company that supplies consumer organisations and dishwasher manufacturers globally. We set the dishwasher to a standard cycle at 60°C and test each detergent 4 times. To see how well the detergents have cleaned the plates, we measure the reflectance with a spectrophotometer before and after cleaning.

"Excellent product "
15 Mar 2019, Michele M.
Product use: 6 months or more
Pros:
I like the Ecostore dishwasher tablets because they do a great job and they aren't tested on animals. They feature in Consumer's recommended list and I always buy them on special, which makes them an even better purchase.
Cons:
None.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
"Works fine except for egg white"
03 Feb 2019, Shane P.
Product use: 1 month or less
Pros:
Seems to perform adequately, my dishes are almost always perfectly clean after a load with this product.
Cons:
Terrible at removing egg white, my egg poacher is frequently just as dirty as before it went in. This is the case even with the highest temperature setting on my Bosh dishwasher (70 degrees Pots and Pans).
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
"Performs well for us!"

Product use: 6 months or more
Pros:
Having moved to this product about a year ago after having issues of residue build up and lack of tea stain removal when using Active - we haven't ever been disappointed with it. No residue, cleans well. And keeping an eye out at Countdown so we purchase when it is on special makes it more economical to use too.
Cons:
None
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
