I've been storing my Finish dishwasher tablets in the original cardboard box, but I noticed some are sticking together. How can I fix this?

When damp, Finish dishwasher tablets stick together. There are several ways to fix this and prevent sticking:

• Avoid forcefully separating stuck tablets, which could damage the coating and reduce cleaning performance. Consult the packaging for instructions. In cases of difficulty separating two stuck tablets, the box may suggest using them together.

• If the instructions don't say to use stuck tablets together and they're not severely stuck, try briefly submerging the stuck part in warm water. This may soften the adhesive, allowing separation. Be careful not to soak the tablets too much to prevent dissolution.

• Consider transferring the remaining tablets to a new, airtight container like a plastic one with a tight lid to prevent sticking. Since air moisture can cause tablets to stick together, store the container in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture sources like the sink or stove.

• Finish does not recommend storing dishwasher tablets in a fabric softener sheet to absorb moisture, but some people have had success. Be careful and monitor tablet reactions with a fabric softener sheet.
