dishwasher experts please help me...

[whensantagotstuckupAITCHimney]

my dishwasher deterent drawer is designed to take fluids, bu you can put tabs into the cutler bit and it works fine. however, i've ust bouht some finish powertabs things (in costco, so i've gt hundreds of the buggers) and i specifically says that you CAN'T put the tabs in the cutlery bit...
why is that, does anyone know? and more to the point, can i ignore the advice?
ta.

Can't you put it on a tray in front of the dishwasher and let it help itself?

Is there no way it will fit in the detergent drawer? I'm sure that's what my mm used to do with tablets.

(I think it's to do with the tablet being released at the right time, if youput it in the cutlery thingy they get wet on the first rinse or something and dissolve at the wrong time.)

blimey, i've just looked it up online and apparently the finish powerball is so powerful (and not in a good way) that it has broken my type of dishwasher so often that Finish has been forced to pay out for replacements. REALLY glad i didn't risk it for a trisket. thanks for trying, though soupy.

apparently it does something to the switches? what switches wuld be accessible from the inside? lord knows... just hapy to have dodged that bullet, albeit at considerable expense. perhaps i can use the tabs as foil christmas decorations?

Do they come equipped with a bloody screwdriver??

List them on Ebay

ta, but was kidding about the christmas decs... my mum has already made a space for them underneath her sink. she's delighted at this turn of events.
