    Something about the rinse aid in the tablet causing over foaming issues. Some dishwashers don't cope with it especially in soft water areas. I personally have never had an issue with them.

    I have been told that you shouldn't use the tablets if you are doing anything other than a normal wash. If you use them on a short or eco wash, the DW really struggles to get rid of all the foam. Apparently this can lead to the DW not performing as well and having a shorter lifespan...

    We use Eco store powder, it's the only organic one I've been able to find

    We use eco store ones or bi carb and vinegar and yep, I fill up the bi carb bit and put around 1 tbsp of vinegar in the rinse cycle, sometimes I add a tsp of lemon juice too!

    I use Finish powder - I get it from Big W - $16 for a 3kg (or is it 2kg) bottle, lasts for ages and ages.
