They must smell real bad if you’re so keen to get rid of some?! 😂

 

Still have a few left from our last purchase of Finish tablets so all good thanks.

Yeah . . . I wouldn't buy again simply based on the smell.
They clean pretty good though.

Am I the only one who doesn't think it's that bad?

Common sense is not as common as you think.

Agree if powerball tabs are ever as cheap again I'd buy those instead

So it's not the detergent smell that's really bad (though it's not very nice) but rather they seem to leave a "mouldy/damp washing" smell that lingers.  We thought we had a major leak in our sink for a few days before we clocked it was the new pills.  Put them in the shed and the horrid mould smell went away.

 

That's what we've struggled with anyway.  If you're not getting that smell maybe you have fresher/better stock of them.

 

I mean now we've sussed the problem they just live in the Rat Shed and if the rats want to eat them, go for gold.  The sink's gone and we're happy, we've just doubled bagged the pills in the sink too and the smell is (mostly) gone.
