The aldi stuff isn’t bad, tablets or powder.

I caved and bought the mini dishwasher because it seems like staying on top of the dishes is really hard for me.
Hopefully the generic Coles dishwasher powder works. I need to tighten up on money again

Someone was telling me to get liquid as apparently these don’t dissolve stuff well

Yay! I don’t know what I’d do without the dishwasher

I feel bad about it because it seems like such a luxury item. But I want to keep my kitchen hygienic

In the long run, it will probably save you time that you could be doing anything else.

I wish I didn’t need it but yeah it will help save time and energy for the other jobs

I was one of those people who used to let the dishes pile up and switched to a dishwasher. Problem was then I found that I would just treat the dishwasher a cupboard and pile up dirty plates on the side until the dishwasher was mostly empty and then reload it when i needed clean things. Rinse, repeat.
What fixed it for me and I don’t know if you’ve tried is: when cooking, constantly clean. It means that by the end you only have your plate / cutlery to go (plus maybe 1 pan) which should be done immediately after finishing eating. It makes it a ton easier as you’re already busy cooking anyways so might as well be cleaning too.

Yeah I’ve used paper plates but expensive and wasteful. I don’t really cook, this is more to keep up on pet bowls and spoons/saucers/mugs

generic dish powder works fine
just wash the filter of your machine every week and it will work great 🙂

The Coles powder will work great in it.
