Wrecked our cups and glassware
Pros
I really REALLY wanted this to be a good product so we could support a good cause.
That's the only good thing I can say about it.
Cons
This product is terrible. It's ruined all our glasses and cups with a thick corrosive staining. When I tipped it down the sink with hot running water (because I didn't want to dispose of it in the rubbish) it clogged the drain and set into a rock hard substance. We had to remove the pipes and drill it out in chunks!
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.
