The best I've ever used

I'm so impressed with these DW tablets. There was nothing wrong with my old store brand but I wanted to try these. Very glad I did. I will continue to use them because they are even better than the grocery store brands. When I take dishes from the DW.... the way they look and feel.... it's impressive. I'm not sure how to give this brand a better rating but I was impressed!! Plus the packaging is compostable vs the store brand's packaging that never is.

good product

these were the second set I bought. Feel like are good purchase

Works great!

Love Reusable Water Bottle

Purchased two water bottles for our trip. We absolutely love them and feel like they have already paid for themselves! They are sturdy, have been taking them to the beach with no problems.

Tooth brush holders

As described. Works for me.
