The most convenient and economical means for washing cutlery in a dishwasher are capsules of the All-in-1 type. There are a lot of similar miracle tablets produced by different companies on store shelves.
Among the assortment you can find Fairy tablets for the dishwasher, which contain about 10 active substances that can cope with any contamination. As part of our article, we will consider their features, as well as get acquainted with the assortment of the brand.
Fairy Tools Overview
The Fairy brand has long established itself as a successful manufacturer of bit chemicals for washing dishes. It was developed by Fairy in Brussels as part of the American corporation Procter & Gamble. Economical consumption, European quality and mountains of clean dishes made Fairy capsules the best seller among all such detergents in the Russian market.
Please note that capsules and tablets for dishwashers are identical products. The original name for this detergent is dishwasher capsules. The confusion with the translation is due to the fact that funds of this type in Russia are called tablets, but have the form of multifunctional capsules.
Fairy capsules, thanks to active concentrated cleaning elements, will even wash out old fat, remove burned residues and write. Remember that the dishes should be thoroughly rinsed after being treated with such active chemicals.
Any Fairy tablets, according to the manufacturer, can easily cope with grease and dirt, clean silverware and glassware. One capsule consists of concentrated powder and gel, as well as a powerful rinse aid.
Note that in the composition of one Fairy capsule, in addition to the main components, four to ten active components are included. For example, phosphates and special special additives protect the internal parts of the dishwasher from scale and corrosion, active substances ensure that there are no white spots and streaks on clean plates.
Each capsule is wrapped in a film, which itself gradually dissolves in water. Please note that the tablet should be taken only with dry hands to avoid moisture from entering the water-soluble shell.
Visually, the Fairy tablet is a small pillow in a water-soluble cover, inside of which, on the one hand, is a powerful dishwashing powder, and on the other, two active gels, as well as up to 10 positions of additives
The tablets already contain salt and rinse aid, but some users note that additional rinse aid and salt will only improve the result.
This miracle tool works simply: all components simultaneously affect dirty dishes. Fairy pills effectively wash off grease and dried stains not only in hot but also in cold water. Before loading dirty dishes, be sure to remove food debris. To familiarize yourself with the rules for loading dishes into the machine, please click on this link.
It is not recommended to use them for cleaning dishes from antique or Chinese porcelain and for washing crystal.
If you use capsules, you should connect the “3 in 1” program (the name of the programs in different brands of dishwashers may vary). This is done so that more water is released to dissolve the capsule. If your dishwasher is capable of analyzing tablets (these are the latest generation brands), then you can choose any program.
In addition, Faerie pressed detergents will take care of the details of the dishwasher, because the capsules have special salt. We wrote about the purpose of salt for the dishwasher in this material.
Powerful Fairy capsules are great not only for dirty dishes, but also help to keep the key details of the dishwasher clean. For example, a filter that no longer needs to be cleaned after each wash
Each dishwasher has a separate tablet compartment. If the capsule is too large, then place it in the cutlery box. The tablet should not be placed in the compartment to the main container, as the tablet may dissolve unevenly, and as a result, stains or dirty areas will remain on the plates.

Do you use another dishwashing detergent that does not care about the cleanliness of the dishwasher? In this case, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the best tools for cleaning the machine.
Fairy Platinum Capsules are one of the most powerful in the line. They can do professional dishwashing, cleaning from dried fat without additional soaking and caring for the dishwasher
With these pills, your glass and steel appliances will shine. Fairy Platinum tablets, like other pressed dishwasher detergents, have a soluble coating and begin to actively affect dirt even in cool water.

- about 30% of active phosphates;
- no more than 15% of surfactants;
- soft food bleach;
- phosphonates;
- enzymes that actively remove fats;
- chemical flavors;
- artificial perfumes.
Fairy tablets should be stored in a dry, dark place, at a temperature of no more than 35 degrees, avoiding direct contact with the pack with direct sunlight. In a damp room or when moisture gets in the bag, tablets may stick together or the protective film may be damaged. And this will provoke leakage of the gel or soaking of the powder. The quality of cleaning dishes depends on the proper storage of capsules.
Fairy Capsules are in a special waterproof bag equipped with a zip fastener. Make sure that moisture does not get inside the bag - it can ruin the product
Please note that Fairy tablets for dishwashers must not be replaced with liquid detergent of the same brand. And all because the liquid gel forms too much foam, which can completely damage the dishwasher.
In recent years, Fairy tablets have been released without phosphates. But if there are small children in the family, an allergy or any disease is found, then keep in mind that Fairy capsules contain anionic surfactants.
The abbreviation for surfactants stands for surfactants. Exceeding the norm of anionic surfactants adversely affects the human body. To avoid negative consequences, it is recommended to rinse the dishes thoroughly with running water.
Customer Reviews for Fairy Capsules
Before buying a compressed detergent, consider not only the manufacturer's promises, but also real customer reviews.
Positive pills feedback
Some housewives rarely use Fairy capsules, and as heavy artillery to clean heavily soiled, greasy or dried dishes (baking sheets, pans, etc.). Fairy Jar All in 1 detergent buyers say they perfectly clean burnt baking sheets and wash dried stains without soaking them first.
Many users note that the Fairy All In 1 and Fairy Platinum tablets, along with dishes, wash the walls of the dishwasher and the drain net.

All Fairy tablets are large, so they should be carefully placed in the compartment. If this is not done, then, as noted by users, the capsule will become stuck and the dishes will be washed without detergent.
Cons of pressed media
Of the minuses, a high price is noted, but, as you know, you have to pay for quality. In addition, manufacturers have proven that Fairy capsules have a nice price / quality ratio. This is reflected in the fact that you can perfectly wash dirty dishes in cold water for 30-45 minutes.
If the load on the dishes is minimal (for example, only half of the maximum number of devices), then there is a risk of getting a raid on each plate at the exit. To avoid this, connect an additional rinse or rinse individually each item individually. This is especially true for glasses and glassware.
If you are laying a small amount of dishes, then immediately program and additional rinse. Because residues of detergent may leave streaks on clean dishes
For some, the undeniable disadvantage is the persistent smell of chemicals remaining on the devices after washing. When you open the machine after washing, the first to break out is a club of steam mixed with a persistent smell of detergent that does not disappear for a long time. An additional rinse can easily cope with the smell on the devices.
If the aroma remains, then it is worth rinsing thoroughly the washed dishes under running water. After washing, leave the dishwasher open for a while and, if possible, ventilate the room. Or try to buy capsules without flavors and fragrances.
