Screen wash tablets aren’t new, but they’re starting to gain real traction—and it’s not hard to see why. With drivers looking for simpler, more sustainable options that still deliver performance, tablets are quietly becoming the smart alternative to traditional liquids. Below, we break down what’s driving the shift—and how tablet screen wash stacks up against traditional alternatives.
Why Drivers Are Ditching Liquid Screen Wash for Tablets
Before we dive into the comparison table, here are three game-changing reasons why more people are making the switch to tablets:
1. Zero Guesswork—Just Drop and Fill
With some liquid screen wash, dilution ratios can be confusing. Over-dilute, and you lose cleaning power. Under-dilute, and you could literally be throwing money down the drain—or worse, damaging your car. Screen wash tabs eliminate all that uncertainty. Each one is pre-measured for a standard 5L fill—no mess, no maths, no mistakes.
2. High-Performance Cleaning That Doesn’t Mess Around
With ScreenWashKing car screen wash tablets, you get powerful cleaning, formulated to outperform most traditional liquids.
They use natural biosurfactants—next-gen cleaning agents that break down tough dirt, grime, and road film with ease. Which means streak-free, anti-smear finish that helps protect your windscreen, wiper blades, rubber seals, and paintwork.
💧 One tablet. Five litres. Perfect results. Every time.
3. Multi-Season Protection in a Single Tab
No more swapping bottles between summer and winter.
Our tablets are designed to perform all year round—cutting through bugs and grime in the summer, and offering freeze protection in winter (tested to –7°C). That’s one product for every season, saving you time, space, and second-guessing.
