Pure dishwasher set – gel, salt and rinse aid

The Pure set contains everything your dishwasher needs for clean dishes and for its own protection: Pure dishwasher gel 750 ml, Pure rinse aid 500 ml and premium salt 1 kg. Each product does a different job in the dishwasher, and we tuned the formulations so that they complement one another. Both the gel and the rinse aid are fragrance-free, so the dishes come out of the dishwasher with no scent at all.

Three products, three jobs

During every cycle, the dishwasher has three different jobs to do: wash the dishes, protect itself from limescale and make sure the dishes dry without spots. “All-in-one” tablets combine them in a single dose. In the set, each job has its own product, which works when it is supposed to.

• The gel washes. Enzymes break down dried-on egg, milk, pasta and sauces, while the sugar-based surfactant and sophorolipids carry away grease. You dose it according to how full the dishwasher is and how soiled the dishes are.
• The salt protects the dishwasher. It regenerates the built-in water softener, which captures calcium and magnesium before they settle on the dishes, the heating element and the pipework as limescale. The salt in tablets cannot do this, as it only works during the wash.
• The rinse aid finishes the rinse. In the final rinse, it helps the water run off the dishes in a continuous sheet. The dishes dry faster and fewer spots and streaks are left on glasses.

We explain why a larger dose of one product cannot replace another in the article Why a dishwasher needs gel, salt and rinse aid.

Why choose our set

• The formulations take each other into account. Hard water is handled by the salt and the softener, so the gel does not need to be unnecessarily aggressive. The gel washes in an alkaline environment, while the rinse aid is acidic. Citric acid in the final rinse helps prevent minerals from the water from remaining on glass as white marks.
• A fermentation-derived biosurfactant in both the gel and the rinse aid. Sophorolipids are produced by yeasts through fermentation of European rapeseed oil and sugars, without palm oil. In the gel they help carry away grease, and in the rinse aid they help water run off the dishes. They are readily biodegradable.
• The whole set is fragrance-free. It is for those who want fewer scents at home. The gel is free of fragrance and dyes, and the Pure rinse aid is fragrance-free as well. So no detergent scent is left on the dishes you eat from.
• Transparent composition. For both the gel and the rinse aid, you know every ingredient and the reason it is there. We developed both formulations in our laboratory. The salt is sea salt with a sodium chloride content of at least 99.8% and no additives.

We describe every ingredient of the gel, together with why we chose it, in the article What dishwasher gel contains and what it does.

How to start using the set

The salt reservoir is at the bottom of the dishwasher

You will find it under the lower basket. Wipe up any salt spilled outside the reservoir, or start a programme straight away so that it does not remain at the bottom of the dishwasher.

• Salt first. When using it for the first time, you usually need to pour about a litre of water into the reservoir and then add salt until the reservoir is full. Set the softener according to the water hardness in your area, which you can find out from your water supplier.
• Then the rinse aid. Pour it up to the mark into the reservoir in the dishwasher door. Set the rinse aid dosing on the dishwasher to a medium level and adjust it according to the result.
• Gel with every wash. For normally soiled dishes, about 15 ml is enough. With a full dishwasher, dried-on residues or hard water, fill the whole detergent compartment, usually about 25 ml.

You usually top up the salt and rinse aid once every few weeks, and most dishwashers will remind you with an indicator light. The gel remains the only daily routine.
