Sonett Organic Dishwasher Tablets (25 tablets x 0.67oz,18 fl.oz/ 500gr) ( Pack of 1 ) ( Pack of 2 ) ( Pack of 5 )
Tablets for Dishwashers
For household dishwashers
Available in:
500 g (25 x 20 g) NET 18 oz (US)
The main active ingredients of the Sonett Tablets for Dishwashers are sodium carbonate, silicates and sulphated castor oil. They make food left-overs swell, emulsify and dissolve fat. Bleaching oxygen (sodium percarbonate) serves for removing tea and coffee residues from glasses and cups.
Citrate, sodium gluconate, carboxymethyl inulin and tetrasodium glutamate diacetate effectively bind hard water residue in dishwashing water. The ingredients are completely biodegradable as it is the case with all other Sonett products. Important note: Adjust the built-in water softener in your dishwasher to be 8 °dH (German degrees) above your local water hardness.
Ranges of application:
Indicated for all types of household dishwashers. Only to be used for dishwasher-proof crockery. Not to be used for silverware, lead crystal glass and hand-painted chinaware. To adjust the ion-exchanger in the dishwasher: See Info Sheet “Dishwasher Detergent; Clear Rinse; Regenerating Salt”.
Dosage:
Crockery with normal level of dirtying: 1 tablet per washing cycle
Crockery heavily dirtied: 2 tablets per cycle
Important note to ensure good dishwashing results: Adjust the built-in water softener in your dishwasher to be 8 °dH (German degrees) above your local water hardness. For doing so, please consult the Instructions for Use of your Dishwasher (s. Info Sheet “Dishwasher Detergent”). Always keep the compartments for the Regenerating Salt and Clear Rinse replenished.

Origin and properties of the ingredients:
The main active ingredients in Sonett’s Tablets for Dishwashers are sodium carbonate, silicates, and sulphated castor oil. Silicates are obtained by fusing sand with sodium carbonate and, thanks to their alkalinity, are capable of modifying grease on dishes by saponification, thus making it water-soluble. These silicates make stuck-on food leftovers swell, thus loosening them. Sodium carbonate, manufactured from common salt and lime, disperses the grease into fine droplets, thus supporting the fat-dissolving property of the silicates. By adding small amounts of sulphated castor oil, the surface tension of the water is reduced, resulting in the dirt being wetted more easily by the water. Sulphated castor oil, also called turkey-red oil, is obtained by the direct reaction of castor oil with sulphuric acid. In addition, the tablets contain bleaching oxygen (sodium percarbonate). During the washing cycle, sodium percarbonate releases oxygen, in addition to water and sodium carbonate. The oxygen thus released serves to remove tea and coffee residues from glasses and cups. Sodium percarbonate is a molecular complex obtained by hydrogen peroxide adsorbing on to sodium carbonate. Citrate, obtained by fermenting sugar-containing by-products such as molasses, is added to the dishwasher liquid to bind lime in the dishwashing water and to protect the machine from deposits. Due to the fact that, despite built-in ion exchangers (water-softener devices) many dishwashers still feed too much calcareous water, the citrate is intensified by the lime-binding properties of sodium gluconate, carboxymethyl inulin, and tetrasodium glutamate diacetate. Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acids naturally occurring in honey and fruits. Carboxymethyl inulin is manufactured by the carboxy methylation of starch inulin extracted from chicory roots. Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate consists 86% of renewable natural products containing starch and sugar.
