I tried ASDA’s 70p dishwasher tablets and even tested them on dirty tea-stained mugs – here’s how I got on
A SAVVY shopper put ASDA’s 70p dishwasher tablets to the test to see how they compare to the branded stuff – and suggested we’ve all been sleeping on a bargain buy.
Kim took to TikTok to share her first impressions on the supermarket’s Just Essentials Dishwasher Tablets, which she claims to have picked up in store for just 70p.
She explained that after just a quick wash using one of the tablets, her crockery came out perfectly – and even her tea-stained mugs looked brand new.
Known online as @scrunchedupbkim, the mum regularly shares life updates and bargain finds with her 730 followers.
In a new reel, she said: “So saw these in Asda today for 70 pence. Thought I’d give them a whirl.
“For 70 pence, I’m not going to complain.
“They smell alright, look alright.
“Yeah okay, they’re not Finish but might do the job.
During the 38-second video, Kim is seen putting the tab in the detergent drawer before setting it to a quick wash.
She then shared what her plates and cups looked like afterwards, adding: “And there we go, it’s finished.
“Straight in for the cup, see if it’s clean. Yeah, it’s clean.
“Check the bowls. Yep, I’m really happy with that, I’ll use them.”
While the tablets currently aren’t available for home delivery, shoppers are encouraged to check their local stores.
Fans loved her honesty, with the video gaining more than 7,700 likes and 418,000 views.
In the comments, TikTok users shared their thoughts, with one writing: “I’ve been wasting £11 on dishwasher tablets and I could get these.”
“I use the Asda Essentials washing powder and it works amazingly,” commented another.
A third added: “The cheap ones are great. I just check them in the bottom of the dishwasher though.”
Someone put: “I find using two does the trick perfectly! Still a lot cheaper than other brands!”
Another shared her alternative use for them, writing: “I used these in washing machine with my daughter’s white jumper, tried everything, these brought it up brand new!”
