Can I cut Dishwashing Tablets?Updated 7 hours ago

No. Each Koh Dishwashing Tab is pre-measured for one full wash. Cutting it in half means half the dose for a full load: gritty residue and reduced cleaning power. The clear dissolvable film also keeps undiluted ingredients off your skin until they're activated by water, cutting the tab removes that protection.

Placement depends on the cycle. Normal and auto cycles: place the whole tab in the detergent dispenser. Quick or 30-minute cycles: lay the whole tab flat on the tub floor, centred under the lower spray arm. Eco (low-temp) cycles: start with the dispenser, and if residue remains, try tub-floor placement next time. This applies to compact and full-size dishwashers alike.

The PVA film stops direct contact with concentrated ingredients, which can irritate sensitive skin before they're diluted in the wash. It also keeps each tab intact until water activates it, so there's no need to peel or unwrap.

Load dishes so spray arms can reach everything, no nesting bowls inside bowls. Handle tabs with dry hands to avoid premature dissolving. Rinse aid might still help depending on your area's water hardness. Store the pouch sealed, in a cool, dry place. If dishes still look cloudy, try a hotter cycle or move the tab placement before considering any dose changes.
