Kit and Kin have built a reputation for providing ethical and effective products for families and their home cleaning products and their eco dishwasher tablets are no exception.

These tablets offer a plant based alternative to traditional harsh chemical cleaners designed to deliver a powerful clean while remaining kind to the planet and safe for your household.

I started a personal mission to reduce the amount of chemicals my family and I were exposed to in our home. This mission began when I started struggling with my hormones and peri-menopause. My main symptoms were, exhaustion, brain fog, hair loss, depression, aches and pains in my joints.

While reading that chemicals in everyday household products can interfere with hormone balances, plus the unpleasant smell most cleaning products which are so over powering and left my breathing laboured I dived into a mission to swop over to all non chemical products.

When I started researching non chemical and natural household products I came across a company called Kit & Kin and they sparked my interest.

While switching my household products to non chemical alternatives, I began to reflect on how important it is to consider what we use in our dishwashers. Any chemicals used to clean our cutlery, glasses, plates, and bowls can leave residues that we may ultimately ingest.

This review explores why Kit & Kin's dishwasher tablets have become a popular choice for those looking to transition to a more sustainable lifestyle without harsh chemicals and compromising on performance.

Using these tablets is straightforward and fits easily into your existing kitchen routine.

Simply place one tablet into the dishwasher dispenser without removing the wrapper as it is designed to dissolve in water.

Before loading ensure you have removed large scraps of food and rinsed any heavy residue.

For the best results consider combining with the Kit and Kin rinse aid and salt if you live in a hard water area. Load your machine according to the manufacturer guidelines.

When to Use

These tablets are suitable for everyday use for all your standard dishwashing needs.

However the brand recommends avoiding them for certain delicate items such as crystal glass silver or silver plated items anodised or coloured aluminium and cutlery with wooden or ceramic handles as well as heat sensitive plastics.

For all other general loads they provide a reliable and effective clean.

I have used them for all my kitchen cutlery, glass and utensil's and have no issues at all , only one exception, I hand wash my posh glasses which have a gold leaf design on them but I have always hand washed them even before swopping to Kit & Kin.

Pros & Cons

Overview

I love the Kit and Kin eco dishwasher tablets and find they clean just good as any other brand I have used in the past, I am also impressed with that fact that they offer an excellent balance of ethical manufacturing and practical performance.

By removing harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances they provide a safer environment for families while the biodegradable wrappers and recyclable box cater to the eco conscious consumer.

While they are priced sightly higher than some supermarket brands the benefits of a non toxic plant powered clean, and the peace of mind for the safety of your children and animals make them 'I feel' a worthwhile investment for any sustainable non-toxic home.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, over the last year or so during my mission to cut down on the toxic chemicals found in my home. Toxic chemicals do not only effect our skin and lungs they can also interfere with our hormones and while I am now Peri-menopausal I wanted to eliminate these issues and this is when I found Kit & Kin and have never looked back.
