    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.
