A box of 75 cosrs £13.69 which works out at £0.1825 per tablet.
Using one per day 7 days per week for three years comes out at under

Our Miele cost around £600 ten years ago and still as good as new.


My washing machine cost less than £200 nine years ago and is still
going strong without using Calgon.

Used mainly on a cold wash it occasionally gets a dose of washing
soda on the hottest wash cycle.

On the packet of my lays purchase of washing powder tablets it says
'use two in hard water areas'

I assume it has a Calgon equivalent built in...

Does your "lay" like being referred to in such terms?

And I think you need two because hard water decreases the detergent's
cleaning efficiency, so you need more, rather than two protect the machine.
