If the Miele powder says made in Austria then it`s probably made by Claro because there seems to be no other manufacturer in Austria.
The ingredients lists of Claro and Miele powders are very similar but not the same, so you won`t get exactly the same product if you substitute for Claro. The Miele tabs might be by Dalli Werke, but this is pure speculation. They make excellent products and they operate a huge plant in the Netherlands which is specialized in making tabs of all sorts. Isn`t Miele Ultraphase made by Dalli too? CLICK HERE TO GO TO mrboilwash's LINK | ||

Dalli has two plants in the Netherlands. One in Heerde where tabs are made:
www.dalli-group.com/en/lo... And one in Hoensbroek where liquid detergents are made: www.dalli-group.com/en/lo... Part of their products are labelled Klok, a more or less environmentally friendly brand. They still use petrochemical resources for their products. The brand focusses on people with allergies, all of their products are scentless. | ||

The powder packaging mentions Claro as the manufacturer, but the tablets now only mention Miele's address. | ||

I recently bought the powder from Miele's website. I left a coating on glass, glass lid etc.
I have a Siemens dishwasher with Zeolite and I usually use the Shine & Dry option (extra rinse) regularly. I had to use cream cleaner to scrub the brown/blue residue off - nothing else worked. Miele manuals suggest to immediately change the detergent if one sees such residue. I guess they didn't expect it to happen with their own product. Never had this happen before. 🤷🏻♂️ | ||

The German Miele site offers "Ultra Tabs All in One" which seem to be Dalli made and there is also a new variety of "Ultra Tabs HyClean" which are ingredients wise identical to "Claro Hygiene Tabs"
Claro by the way did not always shine with brilliant ratings in consumer tests in the past but overall there seem to be more good ratings than bad ones. | ||

The Lidl W5 tablets score high in every test. Cheap and effective.
Due to the Covid situation I order groceries online. So no W5 at the moment for me. I use Sun Expert tablets. The scent is a bit strong for me, but I find most scents too strong anyway.

Miele Tabs
I've been using the Miele Tabs because I was having a lot of issues with foaming and these work really well with our Soft Water. I buy them on the Miele website and the box says made in the Netherlands.

The curious thing about your Miele tablets, is the ingredient ranges. Generally a detergent will state "5-15%: oxygen-based bleaching agents". Your Miele states "5-<15%". So, tighter tolerances. | ||

SuperValu tablets seem to be similar ingredients but another German private label maker: Budich International

A helpful hint for suds in both dishwashers and FL washers is simethicone, the same little 180 mg. gelcaps sold for gas relief in your gut. Three of them will defoam a washer or dishwasher. You can add them to the detergent dispenser. | ||

There was a money back guarantee on "Claro 100%" DW tabs lately, of course I couldn`t resist to give them a try.
The tabs are "greener" than all the other Claro variations, they even carry the EcoCert certificate and seem to be only available in health food stores. They clean surprisingly well on anything that responds well to enzymes like starchy food residue, but even with regenerating salt and rinse aid (as directed) there was a terrible chalky mineral build up in the DW in no time at all. Also no good on grase and oils (surprise). An empty cycle with an acidic DW cleanser cleared up the limescale build up, but the turbidity sensor of my old Bosch seems to be wrecked up for good. Not impressed at all! Box is still half full, was tempted to toss them but maybe I`ll keep them just for the prewash of very dirty loads instead of prerinsing by hand.
