Are cleaning products getting smaller? Dish soap, dishwasher tab and household shrinkflation

By ShrinkRadar · Updated 2026-11-05 · Every figure comes from a sourced case

Yes. Dishwasher tabs, dish soap bottles, cleaners and trash bag packs keep shrinking. We have 68 documented cases of dish soaps, dishwasher tabs, cleaners, trash bags and household products that got smaller, in the US, Hungary, Germany, Austria, the UK, the Netherlands, Australia, Italy, Brazil, Israel, India, Japan and South Korea, from 2006 to 2026, 21 of them in 2026. The median pack lost 10.0% of its contents, an 11.1% hidden price rise per unit at the same pack price. The latest: Finish Power Lemon dishwasher tablets 94-pack (Hungary), 94 tablets → 85 tablets (2026, nkfh.gov.hu). The biggest: Rexim Schulkreide, 400 g → 200 g (−50.0%). Where the source also recorded the price (25 cases), 25 of 25 cost more per unit afterwards. Laundry detergent and fabric softener are on the laundry detergent hub, and paper towels and toilet paper on the toilet paper hub. Paper towels also have their own guide, brand by brand: paper towel shrinkflation.
