What is the Mercadona equivalent of Rinse Aid? This is the soap - chemical used in dishwashers to prevent streaking. It is in used in conjunction with the regular dish washing tablet.

I buy the Bosque Verde abrillantador

don't tell my housekeeper - we only have a manuel dishwasher

Does he come from Barcelona?

¿qué?

no, a bit further north of there

No he is Italian from Naples called Paolo

Anyone ever done a cost comparison between Manuel and Automatic ?

Easy enough to figure out how much Manuel costs for an hour, but with the Auto type there is the original outlay plus maintenance and repairs plus quite a lot of electricity I would have thought and still a certain amount of work to boot.

Also Manuel can be replaced free of charge with Miguel or Paco for instance, whereas with the Auto its back to the shop and mucho dinero once again.

and such a nice boy

the BH has announced that when we get out of the rental into a palace of our own that manuel will become a thing of the past.
so I expect to go into redundancy negotiations shortly

Manuel isnt cheap to run, seems to be high maintenance and needs plenty of vino to lubricate the necessary cleaning actions, and then there's all the extra crockery etc that will have to be bought as I expect to find we haven't got as much as the original inventory records.....
