    Fairy dishwashing tablets

    Pros

    Does a great job, dishes come out sparkling clean - even with tough foods like eggs and cheese. Very affordable, and are also often on special at Chemist Warehouse and supermarkets.

    Cons

    Leaves a slight chemical smell on dishes sometimes.

    Recommend it?

    Yes, I recommend this product.
