Hi, I’m looking for formulations for dish wash liquid and an all purpose cleaner. Must be in tablet form, dilute in water and use. Similar to effervescent tablet. Dish wash tablet is for hand wash and not dish washwer

Please clear up the highlighted part.

For dishwash tablets you can do something similar to bath bombs
dry Sodium bicarbonate + citric acid with a dry, preferably powdered surfactant like SLS, and some binder.
but that’d be too harsh for hand use.

I’m still trying to figure out why a DISH wash tablet will be used on hands and not on dishes.

@Gunther Perheps he means to wash dishes by hand, not in the dishwasher?
