Save dishwashing tabs in the dishwasher

For regular dishwasher cycles, half a dishwasher tab is enough. You only have to cut the tablet in half, take a knife or break in half with your hands, which should not be too difficult to do.
Keep the tabs in the package when breaking it in half, this way no chemicals get spilled, and keep the half you don't use in the open package. Do this with a few at a time, so you don't have to do this every time you put the dishwasher on.
