We trust our dishwashers to take care of what touches us most — plates, glasses, utensils. But behind the promise of “fresh” and “sparkling,” many detergents hide something we shouldn’t ignore. Everyday dishwashing products often rely on harsh, synthetic ingredients that clean well — but stay behind. Not just on your dishes, but in your air, your skin, and your water.
What most dishwasher tablets really contain
Typical dishwasher tablets and pods often include fragrance chemicals that release VOCs during hot cycles, leaving residues and synthetic scents. They also use phosphates and chlorine compounds that can irritate skin and harm aquatic life, along with dyes added only for appearance and plastic films that dissolve but may not fully biodegrade. Petroleum-derived surfactants and PEGs are also common, though they’re linked to environmental and health concerns.
These ingredients were designed for efficiency, not safety. When heated to 60°C and above, they can release volatile compounds into your home’s air and cling to your dishes long after the cycle ends.
Why this matters
Your dishwasher doesn’t just clean your dishes — it’s part of your daily environment. Residues and airborne compounds can impact indoor air quality and contact-sensitive skin, especially for children. “Clean” should never mean coated. And a “fresh scent” shouldn’t come from chemical masking agents.
How to choose a safer alternative
When looking for a human-safe dishwasher tablet, check for fragrance-free and dye-free labels — true purity has no perfume. Avoid plastic films, even those marketed as “biodegradable,” since they can dissolve but not fully disappear. Look for plant and mineral-based surfactants that lift grease and rinse cleanly, short ingredient lists with no fillers, and transparent sourcing or safety data you can verify.
The SANNA difference
At SANNA, we believe real clean shouldn’t depend on compromise. Our dishwasher tablets combine mineral salts and plant-based surfactants to lift grease, remove residue, and rinse completely. No perfume, no color, no plastic film, no toxins — only active ingredients that do their job, then disappear. Developed for modern dishwashers and UAE water conditions, each tablet performs powerfully while protecting what truly matters: your home, your health, and the planet.
For spotless shine — naturally
For those who notice the details, pairing our tablets with SANNA Strong Descaler (Citric Acid) as a natural rinse aid helps prevent mineral buildup and restores long-lasting clarity. A small ritual that keeps clean truly clean.
Clean, redefined
Residue isn’t proof of clean — it’s what happens when cleaning doesn’t stop where it should. Choose fewer ingredients, full dissolution, and a formula that leaves nothing behind. Because true cleanliness shouldn’t add more; it should simply take away what doesn’t belong.
