I sometimes sells dishwasher salts to customers who lives in hard water area and their dishwasher had never has salt in it. I offer this to make things easier.
Now that I’ve run out and on the look out for affordable dishwasher salt. I know from experience that Lidl own dishwasher salt is very cheap and easy to use as it comes in cardboard box (2kg).
Would it be wrong if I buy a batch of them and sell it to my customer for £1 instead of Finish 2kg at £2.50?

I do but they are so expensive that supermarkets are undercutting warehouses.
Re: Supplying dishwasher salt
Supply salt for a small profit is enterprising enough, but it can also give you problems. Customer complaints days later, dishes taste salty, poor wash results, not drying as well as it should……etc etc. All happened since you messed with it????
Also you may (on some makes) have to reconfigure the salt programme settings based on local water company hardness (Clarke) levels. So all in all put yourself vulnerable to all manner of potential recall complaints.
Trust me it ain’t worth the bloody aggro pal. 😉

You’d be better off with cleaners, notice they got stainless appliances, start a conversation on cleaning, bang here is some cleaner.

My post got lost somewhere? But it was exactly the same as Martin’s. Its not worth it. Lessen the chance of any come back, don’t sell it. Before you know it you will have customers ringing you all day and night asking when the next delivery of salt will be…
Re: Supplying dishwasher salt
Too me, the comment “having customers ringing all day & night” means there is a demand and might be worth tapping into it.
And before people write your wrong its not worth it etc etc blah blah blah.
One thing to learn in life, if somebody has failed at something, it usually means they were the failure, not the venture/idea. Many multi millionaires are rich because they didn’t listen to advice gained from people who failed to succeed, they just used skills the others didn’t have, most fail to admit it was their fault.
You just have make sure your not one of them.
Who knows one day an engineer will develop a cleaning product to beat all others and market it from the repair side of the industry, a product that can be trusted to work as it should. :rotfl:
I won’t hold my breath though. 😆

A phone call requesting a delivery of salt? If it is on your patch and you can drop by then why not? Worth making an extra pound for that if it is on your way to a different job.
You will be surprised how many people do not know what salt looks like. On the other day a customer says “Where do I put the salt in the dishwasher?”, I say “Over there where you can see a grey cap (Bosch), you unscrew it and pour in some salt, do you have some salt?”
She says “Oh yes! I do have some, now where is it? *searched high and low* Voila *showed me a bag of Sainsbury’s cooking salt*”
I say “Well, actually you need a dishwasher salt and I happen to have it in my van, let me get it out and this will costs you £2, will that be ok?”
She says “Yeah that’s fine, *perplexed at the differences of salt* *I show her the packet* Oh I see that what it looks like.”

While you’re flogging the salt to muppets, add to your profits tally by offering a similar, too good to be true, deal on Lidl rinse aid. 💡
Re: Supplying dishwasher salt
You could always contact a supplier and get your own labelled product.
Its only an e mail away.

Who knows that I would be flogging my branded dishwasher salt and rinse aid to you guys at WTA conference?
You will be waving your cash at me whilst grabbing the items and fending off others.
Next step world dominion…
