Which is the best dishwasher detergent?
If you are wondering which is the best dishwasher detergent then the information is available at Which? They’ve reviewed and tested 27 dishwasher detergents (so far) and although I can’t just publish their results because of copyright issues they do publish some helpful miscellaneous information to non members. Anyone wanting to take advantage of their 30 day trial offer can also read all the full reports online.
The interesting information open to non members shows the 27 different detergents by brand and gives the cost per wash price, which ranges from 4 pence to 26 pence. Having said that I must confess the information is of limited use because it’s not much help to know which detergent is cheaper if you don’t know how it performs, but it’s still interesting.

Non-members can find out how much each detergent costs per wash and a few bits of info but you need to be a member for full results (30 day trial offer for just £1 is still on).

Hi Andy,
We use Finish Detergent, salt and rinse aid and enjoy excellent results. Have tried supermarket altenatives and they can’t hold a candle to Finish!
We still use salt and rinse aid even if we use the supposably 3,4,5, Max in 1 etc! As they don’t work as they say, we are on tablets at the moment, got a load cheap and they are washing well. We used finish liquid before this and it didn’t get things quite as clean.
There again I think the dishes not always being spotless is down to the dishwasher, We just had to have a “Tecnik”, basically an economy verson of a Bosch, so NO intensive programme with heated prewash, only a 65 and 50 temp. washes and a cold prewash cycle.
All the best,
Oliver.
