We love trying out new washing tablets and liquids at Reviewers United and that’s why we decided to do the Fairy Non-Bio Washing Tablets review to see what they are really like and if they’re worth buying.

We decided to try these out and here’s our Fairy Non-Bio washing machine tablets review.

Fairy Non Bio Washing Machine Tablets

Fairy Non-Bio Washing Machine Tablets are a convenient laundry detergent option, especially popular among families and individuals with sensitive skin. These tablets are designed for use in standard washing machines and are known for being gentle on skin while leaving clothes smelling clean and fresh.

Each tablet is a pre-measured dose of detergent, eliminating the need to manually pour liquid or powder detergent. Fairy has long marketed itself as a skin-kind brand, and these tablets are no exception, making them a go-to choice for baby clothes, delicate items, and those with allergies or eczema.

Fairy Non Bio Washing Machine Tablets Review

In practice, Fairy Non Bio Washing Machine Tablets offer excellent gentleness and a pleasant fragrance, but fall short where it matters most: stain removal.

Despite being marketed as a capable detergent for everyday laundry, these tablets do not remove stains effectively, whether they are light food smudges, moderate dirt marks, or tough grease and oil. This makes them a disappointing choice for active households, parents, or anyone with stain-prone clothing.

Pros:

• Gentle on sensitive skin
• Pleasant, clean fragrance
• Convenient and mess-free tablet format
• Dissolves well in the wash

Cons:

• Poor stain removal across all levels
• May require separate stain pre-treatment products
• Less cost-effective if extra products are needed

If your laundry mostly involves lightly worn items or you need something extra gentle, these tablets are sufficient. But if stain removal is a key concern, you’ll likely need to look elsewhere or supplement with stain removers. As these are priced between £5-£10 retail we would have thought they would do a better job but it would seem that’s not the case.

Can You Use Fairy Dishwasher Tablets to Clean Washing Machine?

No, you should not use Fairy dishwasher tablets to clean your washing machine.

Dishwasher tablets are formulated for dishwashers, not washing machines, and using them can:

• Damage your washing machine’s internal parts
• Leave behind residues that affect future laundry loads
• Void warranties

Instead, to clean your washing machine, use a dedicated washing machine cleaner or run an empty hot cycle with white vinegar and baking soda if you prefer a natural method. There are many brands out there that sell tablets that clean your washing machine, you could also use baking soda and vinegar to clean the washing machine drum.

Fairy Tablets for Washing Machine

Fairy offers Non Bio Washing Tablets specifically formulated for use in laundry machines. These tablets are:

• Single-use, pre-dosed tablets for hassle-free washing
• Designed for non-biological cleaning, meaning they do not contain enzymes
• Best suited for sensitive skin or delicate fabrics

Although easy to use and gentle, their performance on dirty or stained laundry is below expectations, making them more suitable for light or routine washing only. They say for heavy stains to use more than one tablet, although personally, at Reviewers United, we think that this is a waste of money and if you’re going to buy something, you should get your money’s worth.

What Ingredients Are in Fairy Non Bio Washing Machine Tablets?

While full ingredient lists may not be disclosed on packaging, Fairy Non Bio Washing Tablets typically include:

• Anionic and nonionic surfactants – for general cleaning
• Builders and water softeners – to improve performance in hard water
• Fragrance – for that fresh, clean scent
• Optical brighteners – to make clothes appear brighter

Because these tablets are non-biological, they do not include enzymes, which are key ingredients in tackling protein-based stains like blood, sweat, and food. This lack contributes heavily to their ineffectiveness against stains.

Do Fairy Non Bio Washing Machine Tablets Work?

It depends on what you mean by “work.”
If your goal is to simply freshen up lightly worn clothes and protect sensitive skin, then yes—Fairy Non Bio Tablets do their job.

However, if you’re expecting them to remove stains, light, moderate, or heavy, they simply do not deliver. Most users will find themselves needing additional stain removers, pre-treatments, or switching to a stronger detergent for tougher laundry tasks.

Fairy Non Bio Washing Machine Tablets are skin-friendly and convenient, but not a complete laundry solution. If stain removal is a priority, you’ll need to supplement with other products or consider an alternative detergent with proven stain-fighting power. We do not think these are the best tablets that money can buy and given their results we feel that they are slightly overpriced and overpromised.
