Your Friendly Soap Dishwasher Powder Guide
Sparkling Dishes, Zero Fuss!
Getting beautifully clean dishes shouldn’t feel like chemistry homework. Our dishwasher powder is designed to tackle most hard water areas with ease, but if your mains water is particularly stubborn, these simple habits will keep your machine happy and your plates gleaming.
1. Let’s talk loading.
Give those dishes a quick scrape off heavy food debris, it really helps the powder do its job. Then, load your machine until it’s nicely full, but don’t cram it. Think of it like packing for a trip, you want everything to fit comfortably so the spray arms can dance freely. If big pots or pans are blocking the way, shift them around so every corner gets that refreshing rinse.
2. It’s time to wash.
skip the dispenser drawer altogether. Just toss one scoop (approx 20g) of Friendly Soap powder directly into the bottom of the machine. Less is more here (using too much can actually clog your appliance over time). Resist the urge to run half-empty loads. Waiting until the machine is full isn’t just better for the planet, it means the water circulates properly, giving every plate a chance to shine.
3. Don’t forget the little helpers!
A good splash of rinse aid cuts surface tension, helping water sheet off glassware instead of spotting it. Also, keep an eye on your dishwasher salt levels. Topping it up regularly prevents limescale from creeping in, especially if you’re dealing with hard water. Remember to check your filter trap regularly; a clean trap means a smoother wash. Finally, make sure your machine gets serviced by a professional now and then.
One last tip.
We ship our powder in plastic-free packaging. To keep it fluffy and effective, store it indoors in a dry spot, off the floor, and in an airtight container away from humidity. If you ever notice it clumping up, don’t worry, the cleaning power is still intact! Just break it back down into a free-flowing powder before your next load.
