Powder tablets here in Greece never became very popular,because of the high cost in comparison with powder.The first powder tablets,Skip tablets,were launched in 1998.You couldn't put them in the detergent drawer like the powder because they wouldn't dissolve,but you had to put them in a net that was included in every box and then put the net directly in the drum.The normal dose was 2 tablets for each wash, or 3 if the load was too large(over 6 kg) or clothes too soiled.I remember using them in my old machine,but the "net" system wasn't convenient at all and they often left residue on clothes especially in low temperatures.Although, I loved their smell.Later,I think that the net system was abandoned and the tablets became easily dissolvable,so they could be put in the drawer like the ordinary powder.They stayed on the shelves until 2012 when liquid capsules took their place.
