Dishwasher tablets are packed with advantages through a futureproof format !

A conventional formula is a traditional or classic formula, recognized for its proven effectiveness.
Although the tablet format is already much more "ecological" especially due to its solid format, it is possible to opt for a formula that is even more respectful with humans, animals and the environment as well as with better management of resources.
Each labelled product has specific characteristics with the goal to limit energy consumption and preserve natural resources throughout its life cycle. The mixtures are also of limited danger to both human health and the environment.
