Can You Put Dishwasher Tablets Directly in the Bottom of the Dishwasher?
In modern kitchen cleaning, the dishwasher has already become an efficient helper for many households.
But one seemingly simple question confuses a lot of people:
Can you put a dishwasher tablet directly into the bottom of the dishwasher?
The answer is — Not recommended!
Why shouldn’t you throw dishwasher tablets into the bottom of the machine?
It may look convenient, but this habit brings several hidden problems:
1. Dissolves too quickly, weakening cleaning power
A tablet placed at the bottom comes into direct contact with hot water. This causes it to dissolve too early—long before the actual washing cycle starts.
As a result, the cleaning power is wasted prematurely.
2. Increased risk of residue
Early dissolution can create foam or leftover particles that accumulate inside the machine, affecting spray arms and potentially leaving residue on cups and dishes.
3. Possible damage to dishwasher components
Some detergent formulas are highly concentrated. Sudden localized release may accelerate wear on filters or drainage components.
So, where should you put a dishwasher tablet?
Place it in the dishwasher’s detergent dispenser.
The dispenser releases the tablet at the optimal time during the wash cycle, ensuring:
- More efficient stain removal
- Fewer water marks
- Better shine
- No wasted cleaning power
