"Actually works." - Literally everyone

Made without the stuff that
sounds like a chemistry exam.

Most dishwasher tablets are packed with things you can't pronounce and shouldn't eat off. We fixed that.

Actually Cleans

Last nights dishes? Hard water? We don't care. It works.

Planet Friendly

Biodegradable packaging and non-toxic ingredients. Your local fish will thank you.

No Plastic Wrappers

Our tabs come naked. Because peeling wet plastic off a tablet is deeply annoying.

βš— Full transparency. No fine print.

What's actually in them.

Five ingredients. That's it. We counted.

✣

Bicarbonate of Soda

The OG cleaning agent. Neutralises odours and lifts grease without being horrible about it.

ϟ

Sodium Carbonate

Tackles tough grease and food residue. Naturally derived and biodegradable.

β™§

Citric Acid

Oxygen-based cleaner that whitens, sanitises, and breaks down stubborn stains.

β—ˆ

Dish-Safe Cleaning Binder

Holds everything together and cuts through grease. No nasties.

How to use our tabs

It's really not rocket science.

1

Scrape

Scrape off the big chunks. We're a tablet, not a miracle worker.

2

Drop

Toss a naked tab into the dispenser. Don't worry about unwrapping it, there's no plastic.

3

Relax

Press start and go do something more interesting than washing dishes.

"Hey guys! I'll be honest I assumed plant-based meant I'd be rewashing everything by hand. I was wrong. The cheese grater came out clean. THE CHEESE GRATER.

You've got a customer for life."

Pick your poison.

(Except it's not poison.)

FAQ's

Do they actually work?

Yes. We wouldn't be selling them if they didn't. They tackle baked-on grease, weird stains, and whatever that thing is you left in the sink for two days.

Are they really safe for the planet?

Absolutely. No harsh chemicals, no microplastics, and our packaging is 100% biodegradable. Your local fish give us two fins up.

Do I need to unwrap the tablets?

Nope! They come naked. Just toss them straight in. One less piece of plastic to peel with wet hands.

Why is the packaging paper?

Because plastic is annoying. It takes 500 years to decompose and it's terrible for the earth. Plus, our paper tubs look way better on your counter.

How much does shipping cost?

To Your Door: R85 for 1 tub, R95 for 2 tubs, or R130 for 3+. Prefer a PUDO locker? It's R65, R75, or R90 respectively and you can pick up at your own pace.

What are the ingredients?

Sodium Carbonate, Citric Acid, Non Toxic Biodegradable fragrance free liquid soap, and Lemon Oil. No sulphates or phosphates, 100% biodegradable, free of harmful chemicals, and septic tank friendly.
