What dishwasher tabs DON'T remove writing from cups?

Please tell me and then I will only buy those from now on.

At the moment, I buy whatever premium dishwasher tabs are on offer, but one of them (and I don't know which!) has removed ALL of the markings on my glass measuring jug. It now does not measure 😆 and is pretty useless as a measuring jug.

It's also removed the marks on the glass part of my coffee cafetière and random mug logos.

So what is safe? And I'll make sure I only buy those.

As I understand it ...some items are 'dishwasher safe' which just means that the item will cope with a dishwasher for a while.
'Dishwasher proof ' means that it's indestructible in a dishwasher.

Hardly anything is 'dishwasher proof' anymore as guarantees can't then be invoked.

That's clearly destined to be a future post of mine "what is actually dishwasher proof" 😁

I will be watching out for that thread! I had no idea dishwasher safe didn't mean dishwasher proof! I would have expected them to be one and the same.
