Lucent Globe Dishwashing Detergent Sheets

I would not recommend Lucent Globe Dish Soap. Bought these trying to be environmentally friendly but frankly a sink of plain water would have been as effective as this. So now I have wasted money on water that filled the sink with this product as I needed to refill the sink with proper dish soap to re wash the dishes. Save your money and time and done get these.

I wish I had read the reviews here before purchasing. The dishwashing sheets product does not work. Dishes are dirty after washing and Lucent Globe has suggested that cups could be soaked in salt and hot water prior to placing in the dishwasher? So, I should wash my dishes by hand first? Thank you Product Review for prompting me to submit an… Read more ·  1

update. I continued to use Lucent Globe dishwasher sheets, and adjusted my expectations. Over time I noticed the dishes were cleaner, though I changed to a hotter wash cycle and I pre-rinse more than I did before. I also received a box of booster to help with the stubborn loads - thank you Lucent Globe. I do feel better using an environmentally friendly product, and I like the my dishes and my kitchen no longer smell of strong caustic chemicals.

WHAT: lucent globe dishwashing sheets - a concept where the detergent is dried into flat sheets rather than wrapped tablets or loose powder. WHY: less packaging, less waste, smaller packaging, more environmentally friendly. HOW: either fold the sheets (or tear/cut) into detergent compartment. DOES IT WORK? Sort of…. One of the… Read more

notes on the packaging says it can be used for hand dishwashing. This means a mild ph detergent that won’t aggressively attack the skin- dishwashing detergents often have to have a lower ph to effectively remove sticky or fatty deposits because there is only the water spray inside to physically wirk on the surfaces. That’s low ph is also why they can affect glassware, cutlery over a period of time. So, problem: anything sticky, baked on like egg or similar does not wash well on a cycle where a conventional powder would work. (See photos).

SUMMARY: nice idea that unfortunately, doesn’t work. The upfront cost for the sheets per wash is on the high side, and if you have to use hotter water and a longer wash and more sheets to get it to work, then the economy is false and it. Evokes more environmentally problematic.

my cups came out more stained than they were when they went in the dishwasher. Now i have to rewash my hand. Not happy at all. I bought a number of products Im just starting to use Fiona Metcalfe, Woodvale WA. Show details ·  2

I really wanted to like these, my partner has been pushing me to use them for so long. Ive gone through about 10 sheets to really get a good idea on how they perform and im sorry to say, they are awful, having to re wash dishes is just not it for me, being a busy mum, working and all the things, the last thing I want to do it pull unwashed dishes out of the dishwasher. This is a firm No from me Show details

As much as I like the idea behind this product and would love for it to perform as advertised it just doesn't. After trying different settings on my machine the tough Stains won't come off.

I tried everything to make these work. They just don’t work. I went back to Finish dishwasher tablets. Finish is on the left. Lucent is on the right. No comparison. Show details

They are a failure! I got caught up in the hype and bought a package deal. The dishwasher sheets are completely useless, and in fact have enraged me to the point of distraction! Firstly, they don't clean anything. Simple green tea stains not removed from a mug, Greek yoghurt and cinnamon powder still in a bowl, breakfast still left on each plate… Read more

even after rinsing as usual. Next, they are all about the PVA "sheet" which breaks down and absolutely clogs every filter very quickly. So much worse than a dissolving tablet wrapper.

Then, for the first time ever, my dishwasher leaks. The sheer amount of useless suds inside have to go somewhere so they will find their way onto your floor and under the dishwasher. Many users have also noted this.

Lastly, If you're not very careful you will fall for the misleading "Australian" marketing. These are all made in China.

Don't waste your money!

Note: I went and purchased the basic Aldi dishwasher tablets and rehashed the latest filthy load that Lucent Globe left..... they came out brilliant with the Aldi tablet.

The sheets we have found to be rather poor in cleaning of the plates and especially the utensils.We tried them as an advertised as an Australian product when they are made in China .Secoundly when you buy your first box of dish washing sheets you are automatically signed to an ongoing delivery which I was not aware of,seems others have found this… Read more

to be the case as well the repeat product just turns up via courier at your door some months later...then to find you have been billed for it.I will never buy from this company again.Not recommended

Make sure you read the 300ish 1 star reviews before purchasing, take the 5 star reviews with a grain of salt. I wanted to like this product, there were so many glowing Facebook reviews and comments. I should have looked at this website first. I followed the instructions on the box and used 1 sheet. I ended up with a dishwasher full of suds.… Read more

Took me an hour to mop up the suds with a rag and several rinses to get rid of the excess suds. I could tell the dishwasher was struggling to pump the soapy water around as it sounded different, luckily I was supervising it. Several reviews have pointed to the same issue, I'm glad I stopped it and didn't break an expensive Bosch dishwasher.

Back to Finish, dishes always come out clean and there is never any excess suds. I'll never get that hour back from mopping up the mess these dishwasher sheets made. Luckily it was half price at Woolies.

Buyer beware.

Horrible dishwashing sheets, doesn’t even clean the dishes. Everything came out dirty and had to wash it all again. Don’t recommend!

I wanted to love this dishwashing detergent because the low-chemical concept is fantastic. At first it seemed fine, but over time I noticed that some dishes weren’t coming out fully clean. I also began to notice a black residue developing on items and in the dishwasher after continued use. For the price and the idea behind it, I expected more consistent results. Show details

I really wanted these to work but they didn't. The whole lot needed to be washed again. Luckily I had some other product to use to get the job done.

These dishwasher sheets do not clean well and there is a huge amount of foam generated. They are maybe vaguely okay for lightly soiled items but not much else. My coffee cups are stained at the bottom too The first time I used the sheets in my… Read more

brand new dishwasher, the dishwasher stopped working for a week with the over-sudsing. Kept getting an error message. The concept is good but the formulation desperately needs review due to the over-sudsing reported by many users. The sheets are also made in China. Unfortunately, I bought enough of these sheets for a year, so I’ll slowly work through them but I’ll reduce the sheet size. I certainly won’t be repurchasing them. Regret the purchase. If you want to try out these sheets they are often on special at Woolworths and it’s much cheaper than buying them online. My Brand of dishwasher is Midea.
