For household dishwashers. Suitable only for dishwashers with adjustable water hardness. Not suitable for silver, lead crystal, and hand-painted porcelain. The Sonett Tabs contain minerals and fully biodegradable organic components. They contain no enzymes, no aggressive chlorine-based bleaches, no phosphates, and no fragrances. Suitable for all household dishwashers. Only for dishwasher-safe dishes. For normally soiled dishes: 1 tab per wash cycle. For heavily soiled dishes: 2 tabs per wash cycle. The dishwasher's water softening system should be set 8 °dH / 15 °fH higher than the actual water hardness. Please refer to your dishwasher's manual for instructions. The compartments for regeneration salt and rinse aid should always be filled. Silicates and soda are mineral substances that do not need further breakdown in nature. Citrate, a substance found in plants, animals, and humans, is completely broken down in nature by naturally occurring microorganisms within 2 to 3 days. Sodium percarbonate decomposes during the washing and bleaching process into mineral soda, water, and oxygen, leaving the dishwasher in a state that requires no further breakdown. This means that the bleaching process is simultaneously the breakdown process. During the manufacturing process of sugar surfactants and sulfated castor oil, parts are extracted from the plant raw materials such as starch, sugar, and fat, but their natural structural integrity is fully preserved. Therefore, it is relatively easy for microorganisms to rapidly and completely break down these surfactants to 100%. Citrate, carboxymethyl inulin, tetranatrium glutamate diacetate, and sodium gluconate, sugar surfactants, and sulfated castor oil are considered readily biodegradable according to OECD standards.
