The best dishwasher detergents of 2022

The kitchen is constantly saturated with technical innovations: coffee grinders and coffee makers, electric meat grinders and electric ovens, microwave ovens, multicookers and much more. Soon they will no longer be allowed into the kitchen without an engineering degree. Among the technical innovations is a dishwasher (PMM). Previously, it was necessary to carefully clean each plate of solid remains of uneaten food, then with washcloth and soapy detergent to carry out a rough wash, then rinse everything with clean water and put on drying. Yes, even at the very beginning of the process, it was necessary to sort all the dishes: separate pots and pans, plates and cups, and deal with glass and crystal very carefully. And with a dishwasher, everything is easier: if it is loaded correctly and the necessary detergents are poured, the hostess can press the "Start" button and go to watch the next episode of her favorite series - the technique is all will do it herself. But a very important point is that all funds must be poured into it, and only the necessary ones.

Overview of the top dishwasher detergents

The process of washing dishes in a car is a complex mechanical and chemical process. Mechanical operations consist in the fact that according to the program the water supply is turned on and off, one or another chemical agent is added to the washing chamber of the machine. But when it is added, chemical processes already begin.

In the operation of the machine, the participation of three components is mandatory: regenerating salt, rinse aid and, of course, detergent. Each of them performs its function.

The main purpose of regenerating salt is water softening. The water from the city water supply is hard. This means that it contains a lot of magnesium and calcium ions. Such water does not lather well, creates scale on the internal metal parts of the machine, and reduces its operational life. And the chemical task of the regenerating salt is to replace calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. Initially, this function is performed by an ion exchange resin located in a special filter in the inlet pipe of the machine. But it eventually ends, and the reserves of sodium ions are replenished by regenerating salt. A saturated brine solution is injected into the ion exchanger at the final stage of dishwashing during the final rinse. In 15 minutes, the ion-exchange resin is saturated with sodium ions. In subsequent washes, the resin softens the water.

Detergent is, one might say, what the dishwasher itself was created for. This is a component that dissolves the remnants of fat and other food residues and is washed off with them during the rinsing stage. Detergent for PMM is available in the form of tablets, powders, capsules and gels. Means for manual dishwashing should not be used.

Powders and gels

Powders are the most versatile detergent and are used in all types of dishwashers. In Russia, many factories produce powders of various grades. There are special - for professional use, and there are for domestic use. Professional ones have a higher cost, but they are highly concentrated and, when diluted to a normal concentration, their use turns out to be cheaper than household ones. In addition, household products foam very strongly, and this is harmful for dishwashers.

For one wash cycle, the gel consumption is 15 ml for washing programs for glassware, 20 ml for lightly soiled mixed dishes, 25 ml for moderately and heavily soiled dishes.

Salts and rinses

The functions of the rinse aid are determined by its composition. And in its composition there are chemical additives that create a special film that weakens the adhesion of water to the surface of the dishes and causes water drops to roll off the washed surfaces. The rinse agent protects the internal walls of the PMM from limescale and corrosion, and the heating element from scale, respectively, prolongs the life of the equipment. Salt is used to clean dishwashers from scale, to soften water.
