I wish I read the other reviews before buying this. I’m new to dishwashers as I’ve never had one and it’s really changed my life! First tabs I got were the Finish Quantum ones and they were amazing. Like many others, I bought the Fairy ones because they were cheaper and not only did it not clean well, but just like the others experienced, my glass jars and silicone items are now permeated with the worst chemical smell ever. I don’t even want to use the jars anymore because I don’t think it’s food safe. I can’t believe they still sell this, it can’t be good for you! Retuned it to Woolies and exchanged it for the Finish ones. More expensive but worth it.

Tried these diswasher tablets and was disappointed to find out that they left a strong chemical smell and taste on my dishes, cutlery and glasses. You can taste the detergent when you drink from a cup or glass.

Pungent smell. Cleans OK
Leaves terrible smell on everything especially plastic / silicone utensils.
Wont ever use again but will never forget the smell.
What more can I say.
I love this site and often use.

I will be demanding a refund after using one tablet of the Fairy brand in my dishwasher. Upon finishing the wash, I opened the machine to a horrible smell, similar to a freshly scrubbed toilet. Two rinses later and the smell was still there.

I found unless I used the hottest setting on my dishwasher I was left with stubborn food on the plates.. I doubt I would buy them again

Do not go for Fairy. The smell embedded in the plates and cutlery make your dinner bad and meke you sick. Disgusting strong fragrance. I have used finish for so long but never had any issue.

I used these in dishwasher They cooked dinner My boyfriend said he couldn't eat the meal as it tasted like soap So we went on Google to ask if anyone else had this problem and there were many people saying same thing Stopped using them They have strong floral fragrance

After having tried most dishwasher tablets and products alike, i was overjoyed when i used the Fairy original tablets and saw the results. This was the first time i’d not had to rewash dishes or that my glassware wasn’t left with any water marks at all.
Fairy Tablets are now my go to product, I can’t fault it at all.

I have had my beautiful Laguiole cutlery for 5 years and always used Finish in the dishwasher. After using a packet of the Fairy Brand tablets they have gone brittle and the coloured plastic has started breaking away!!!! Very upset. Don't use this product!

These tablets are disgusting. Like everyone else, we bought them because they’re a bit cheaper than all the other dishwasher tablets. It’s easy to see why! Dishes smell strongly perfumed when they come out of the dishwasher and the smell comes off onto our food. Like another reviewer below, my keep cup has been permanently ruined - no matter how many times I wash it, it stinks like these disgusting tablets. For saving $5, I’ll have to spend $25 on another keep cup. I’ll be washing my dishes by hand until the next supermarket shop.

I will be throwing these out and going back to Finish. The smell gives me a headache and makes me feel sick. They clean ok but I will never buy again.

Bought the 64 tablet packet on special for $16. What a waste of money. Wish I had read reviews before purchasing. Opened the bag and was assailed by the overpowering sickly perfume smell. They didn’t even make it to the dishwasher. Sadly as with another reviewer I had thrown out the shopping docket so could not get a refund. Left them in the garage to give to my daughter. Smelt out the garage then the car while transporting to daughter. Daughter left in her car while at work. Her car took days to get rid of the smell. The whole bag ended up in the garbage. Never again.

This product has an overpowering, chemical smell. It leaves a lingering residue on plastic items and affects the taste of food. I am unable to even remove the taste and smell of my plastic items making them unusable now. So disappointed.

Worst product ever. Tried it for the first time because I saw one of their ads claiming to do a better job than Finish. But this product left glasses with a cloudy, greasy film and left cutlery dirty. Plus the smell is overpowering and disgusting. Can’t believe Coles even stocks this rubbish.

The smell/ taste of it is all over my silicone utensils and so deeply embedded into my wooden spoon that it ruined this morning's porridge.Hopefully I can resurrect my keepcup

I have used Finish dishwashing tablets for a very long time. I recently changed to Fairy 3 in 1 tablets. They do actually clean the dishes quite well but I am totally disappointed that my lovely Doulton Everyday dinner set is losing its pattern. I have had my dinner set for many years and never ever has the pattern even looked as though it was wearing off - at least not until I have used Fairy. I would be happy to speak or email Fairy but do you think I can find any contact for them. I thought I had but it appeared to be an international email but I received NO RESPONSE! Very frustrating indeed. Will I buy them again. Not really!

The smell and taste left after using these tablets is awful, it has saturated a smell and taste on my silicone bakeware Tupperware containers and plastic/silicone utensils. I am so upset and disappointed with this product, it has ruined my Tupperware and silicone bakeware would love to know if anyone has a solution to rid the taste and smell? I have tried rewashing, hand washing and putting my plastics in sunlight but nothing has worked so far.

I have found these tablets do not clean my dishes anywhere near as well the Finish brand. I have found since using them they leave food on the plate and over.time the coffee cups & tea cups require bleaching to remove the discolour, which was not a problem I had with the other brand. As soon. As I use the ones I have left I wont be buying them in the future

Simply put - this product is terrible.
Like another reviewer wrote, I don't post reviews, but wish I'd read these first before trying to save a few dollars and bought into the fairy advertising. Definitely not first wash clean. Definitely not clean at all. I've had to go back and hand wash the entire load, If I could return this product, I certainly would. If I could complain to the company, I would too.
Absolute fail.
