About this episode
<p>Do more expensive dishwasher tablets clean better? And how do eco versions stack up?</p><p>We are back with a new series of Sliced Bread and even more investigations into your suggested wonder products! We'll also be hitting a significant milestone during this batch of programmes so look out for more on that.</p><p>First up - dishwasher tablets. Listener Deborah got in touch after hearing our deep-dive into dishwashers themselves and had some burning questions about the tablets we put in them. Do more expensive ones give you a better clean? Do they protect glasses better? And what about the eco brands that promise to be kinder to the environment? </p><p>Listener Graham sent a voicenote asking whether buying an 'all-in-one' tablet is better than using separate components, either for cleaning or the environment. </p><p>Greg's joined by Deborah and a panel of experts in our studio at Media City in Salford to run all these questions through the wash.</p><p>All our investigations start with YOUR suggestions. If you've seen an ad, trend or wonder product promising to make you happier, healthier or greener, email us at <a href="mailto:sliced.bread@bbc.co.uk">sliced.bread@bbc.co.uk</a> OR send a voicenote to our WhatsApp number 07543 306807. </p><p>PRESENTER: GREG FOOT PRODUCER: SIMON HOBAN</p>
