Stiftung Warentest: Frosch and Everdrop Siegen in the dishwasher test!

In the most recent test of dishwasher tabs to clean dishes, the Stiftung Warentest took a close look at a total of 15 monotabs. The results were published in issue 02/2024. Products that do not contain any additional salt or pluser were tested, including brands such as good and cheap (Edeka), Denkmit (DM), yes! Classic (Rewe), frog and the products of discounters such as Lidl, Penny and Aldi. The examination revealed that eight of the tested products with an assessment between "satisfactory" (grade 2.6 to 3.3) section.

Especially the monotabulas of Blick (Penny) and yes! (REWE) convinced with their gentle cleaning. In contrast, the somat tabs ended up in the last place and were rated with "poor". These aggressive formulations attacked decors on plates and glasses. The finish tabs also performed poorly and received the grade "sufficient"-they cleaned the worst all tested products. Only five of the tested products were able to reach the grade "good", one of these is the test winner from the eco-brand Everdrop, which turned out to be the most expensive with a price of 37 cents per tab.

Alternative and cheap options

However, there are also cheaper alternatives, such as the frog tabs, which also provided good cleaning results at 14 cents per tab. In summary, the investigation shows that many tested detergents had difficulty removing stubborn dirt effectively. The Stiftung Warentest also recommends three home remedies to clean dishwasher thoroughly.

In an extension of the test, 15 multitabubs were also examined. These are usually all-in-one products that contain cleaning agents, rinse and water toughter. In places, some of these products left limestone veils on glasses or damaged plastic bowls. The prices per rinsing for multitabs fluctuated between 11 and 19 cents. One -off tests have also shown that certain multitabubs can be contaminated with questionable chemicals that could damage both the environment and the dishes.
