Why “All-in-One Dishwasher Tablets” Don’t Actually Do All Three Jobs

A quick education from DOT Home Care

Today many brands promote 3-in-1 / 5-in-1 tablets that claim to contain:
✔ Salt
✔ Detergent
✔ Rinse Aid

But here’s the truth your dishwasher company will never tell you 👇

1️⃣ Dishwasher Salt in Tablets ≠ Real Dishwasher Salt

Real salt must go into the salt chamber to soften hard water.
A tablet cannot reach that chamber, so the “salt” in tablets is just a tiny softener agent mixed inside.

➡ Result: Your machine still needs real dishwasher salt.

2️⃣ Rinse Aid Works Only in the Final Rinse

Your dishwasher has a separate rinse-aid tank for a reason.
Rinse aid must be released at the end, not during washing.

But tablets release rinse-aid ingredients too early.

➡ Result: Weak drying, water spots, dull glassware.

3️⃣ Detergent in Tablets Works — But Not at Full Potential

Dishwasher detergent is most effective when:

• pH is controlled
• Enzymes activate at the right time
• Water softening is correct

When everything is packed into one tablet, the control is lost.

➡ Result: Cleaning becomes just okay, not excellent, and that’s why white patches appear. These white patch areas are places where germs can easily reside.”

🚫 So can one tablet do all 3 jobs?

Technically no.
Because each function must happen at different stages inside the machine.

A single tablet cannot do all 3 perfectly because each one needs to work at different times inside the machine.

Dishwasher was designed for:

·         Salt = added separately

·         Detergent = per wash

·         Rinse aid = separate tank for final rinse

Tablets are only for convenience, not for best performance.

A single tablet cannot perform all stages accurately.

✅ Best Practice for Perfect Cleaning

For zero white patches, spotless dishes, prevent salt formation and longer machine life:

1. Use DOT, the real dishwasher liquid that contains water softener.
2. Use high-quality dishwasher detergent liquid.
