Warnings & Directions
Directions for Use:
DIRECTIONS: Be sure to load dishes neatly. Place one pack into your dishwasher's soap cup. Do not unwrap or puncture to pack and make certain your hands are dry before handling. Don't forget to reseal bad after use. These packs work wonderfully in regular machines and fancy European models. Not only are they earth-friendly, they also pack a punch when it comes to removing coffee and tea stains - without nasty phosphates and chlorine!
Caution:
COMMON SENSE CAUTION: IRRITANT. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, flush with water. If swallowed, so not induce vomiting, call doctor immediately. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
