Budget Stuff
I personaly dont like strong smelling powders or conditioners, so the other week i saw in the Co-op there own budget concentrated fabric softener, i opened it up and it had a very gentle smell of old Lenor, i bought it and tried it and liked it very much no over powering scent and conditions just aswell, all for £0.53p.
Bring back 1980s Softlan I liked that a lot salty fresh smell ;-) Gary So yes not all budget stuff is crap | ||

And the result ? Not a spot of dirt on any of the plates, pots, or cutlery I put in. Brilliant, and for under 17p per tablet, I am very happy indeed. | ||

I've never seen the tablets you mentioned. Are they cheaper than Value ? | ||

Dishwasher Tablets
I only ever buy the cheapest own brand dishwasher tablets & they all perform just as good as fairy or finish. & i agree with Gary that Softlan fabric conditioner was the best & it had a unique scent all of it's own, i've often wondered why they stopped producing it. Can't remember if it was a Procter & Gamble product.

JMurray01 These are the tablets. Tesco's answer to Ecover. They are dearer than the "El Cheapos", around £3 to £4 a box. Very foamy tablets, caused the Bosch to suds-lock. After using a couple of them, the rest went through the washing machine to clean it out.

ALDI Magnum All in One Tablets
I'm currently Using Magnum All in One Tablets, and Magnum Original washing up liquid by our sink.
Both of these are Which? Best buys, Even though we have a dishwasher, we dont use it all the time as we dont have enough plates and cups to go through unless we have guests round, which is quite rare. The Magnum orignal washing up liquid is very thick, and is better than Fairy, has a pleasant smell and doesn't hurt my hands. We have had a bottle for about 6 weeks and we only use a pea size amount and we have a half a bottle left. Pretty good for 59p =] The Magnum Tablets are very good too, leave everything sparkling. Our dishwasher is pretty old (8 years old) so the dispenser doesn't work so I put the tablet in the cutlery basket. I miss Glist though, that was my tablet of choice for years, then they stopped doing it. | ||

As for tea stains, with all the tablets I've used (listed above) I've NEVER had any obstinate tea stains - Even ones that have been sitting for days. | ||

Well it just occured to me, the one cheap tablet brand I haven't tried is Asda Simply Value. I'll have to try them some time. | ||
