Budget-Friendly Dishwasher Tablets That Actually Work (Sort Of)
add_circle الإيجابيات
- They come with both salt and rinse aid, so you don't need to buy those separately - unless you live in an area with super hard water, that is.
- I've used them at different temperature settings, and they've performed consistently well.
- No nasty odors after washing - a major win in my book!
- The tablets are easy to use and don't leave any residue behind.
- They're a great value for the price - 30 tablets for under 310 rubles is a steal!

- Unfortunately, they don't work as well for me as they do for others - my Beko dishwasher is a bit of a lemon, and these tablets can't quite compensate for its shortcomings.
- If you've got a low-end dishwasher like mine, you might find that these tablets don't get your dishes as clean as you'd like.
- The packaging could be a bit more eco-friendly - I'd love to see OOO 'Laboratory Catherine' switch to recyclable materials.
- There's no clear instructions on how to use the tablets - a bit of a pain if you're new to dishwasher tablets.
- The tablets can be a bit messy to handle - be careful not to spill them!

Editor's Summary
I've tried a ton of dishwasher tablets over the years, but these 'Enjoy Clean 7 in 1' tablets from OOO 'Laboratory Catherine' are the first to actually get my dishes sparkling clean - most of the time, anyway. They're a great value for the price, but they don't work as well for me as they do for others. My trusty old Beko dishwasher is a bit of a lemon, and these tablets can't quite compensate for its shortcomings. Still, they're worth a shot if you've got a decent dishwasher.
Specifications
I've had my trusty old Beko dishwasher for five years now, and I've tried a ton of different dishwasher tablets - from the super cheap to the super expensive, salts, and rinse aids. No matter which tablets I choose, my dishwasher still doesn't get all the dishes sparkling clean. I think it's because of the specific dishwasher brand I have. Mine's a Beko, and it's broken twice in the past five years. Keep this in mind while reading my review. If you have a top-notch dishwasher, these tablets might work perfectly for you.
Price: 308.99 rubles at the Spar store.
Quantity: 30 tablets
Manufacturer: OOO "Laboratory Catherine", Chelyabinsk
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 tablets review
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 tablets reviewThe tablets come in a small cardboard packaging with all the necessary information on the label.
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 tablets reviewEach tablet is individually wrapped in a protective plastic sheet. You need to remove this sheet before putting the tablet in the dishwasher. Make sure to remove it with dry hands, as it can cause skin irritation.
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 tablets reviewThe tablets have a mild, powdery scent. It's not overpowering unless you sniff them specifically. They smell clean.
What the manufacturer promises:
Careful dishware maintenance;Removal of tough stains;Water softening - salt function;Glass and silver protection;Stainless steel shine;PMMA protection from lime scale deposits;Rinse aid function.One tablet does it all! However, even the manufacturer notes that if you have very hard water, you'll still need to add salt and rinse aid. I only add salt because my dishwasher has broken twice. I'm trying to be gentle with it. Our water is extremely hard.
I don't buy the rinse aid, though. This tablet rinses off easily and doesn't leave any white spots on my pots and pans.
These tablets work great across different temperature settings (50-70°C). I usually run my dishwasher at the higher end of that range, 70°C.
I've got a massive dishwasher that can handle 14 people's worth of dishes. I toss everything in there: plates, utensils, cups, pots, pans, and even my oven tray. Before I put anything in the dishwasher, I give it a good rinse under the tap to get rid of any big food bits. Some really stubborn stains I'll soak and scrub off by hand, because my dishwasher just can't handle them. That's not the tablets' fault, though – I've mentioned it before.
Let me show you how the tablets work:
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 reviewMy glass plates, cups, and utensils come out sparkling clean.
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 reviewBut my cups that aren't meant for the dishwasher still had some stains left behind. I ended up washing them by hand after the cycle.
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 reviewMy non-stick pots and pans come out looking brand new, with no residue left behind.
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 reviewBut my pots aren't so lucky. They're clean, but there are these weird oil residue stains on the bottom, like someone spilled gasoline on the floor. I ended up washing them by hand after the cycle, too. It's not just the pots, though – I've noticed that some of my other cookware has similar stains in the same areas. It's like the dishwasher just can't get them out.
Enjoy clean 7 in 1 reviewAs you can see, I throw everything in the dishwasher, even things that aren't meant to be washed that way. And yet, most of the time, everything comes out looking great. Sure, there are some imperfections that I end up fixing by hand. Either I'll wash something first, then put it in the dishwasher, or I'll just scrub off the tough stains. The dishwasher does a much better job with grease and hard-to-reach areas, though.
Now that I've done a load of laundry with these tablets, I'm stoked to say that my washing machine is smelling fresh and clean. When I open the lid, I'm greeted by a spotless interior and sparkling clean dishes - all the grease is gone. I've tried other tablets before that left a nasty smell in the machine and didn't even do a great job of cleaning my dishes.
I'm really happy with these tablets overall. They get the job done and leave my dishes sparkling. Plus, they're super affordable. I've found that 30 tablets last me the whole month.
