Finish Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner: Fight Grease & Limescale, Fresh, 8.45oz

Im not sure how well this exactly works but my dishwasher smelled a little fresher. But I have used others that smelled better or cleaner afterwards and my dishwasher is not that dirty.

I read the reviews ahead of time so I knew to purge the cold water out of my lines ahead of time by running my sink in order to have no issues with the wax cap melting. It cleaned my dishwasher wonderfully and made it smell even better. I would buy again

Easy and simple to use to clean out your dishwasher of buildup and smells

This works great and we have it on subscribe and save so it shows up when we need it

Have a 3 yr old Kitchen-Aid Dish washer(2019). Since installation Ive not done anything but a Sani-Rinse a few times. Always checked the Filter Canister ea month and the Screen every other. Have had no issues until the fall of 2022. Found that the Filter Canister had a Cinnamon colored gunk all over it after EVERY washing! I kept cleaning, only to see same Gunk as well as an Odor remaining after wash. Dishes and whatnot did NOT have an Odor, the machine did. 140°F Sani-washing changed nothing. So, some research, reviews and gave this a go. HOME RUN! After the FIRST use, No more Gunk, or Odor! Wash after Wash, Filter is okay, No Odor! Turns out the EPA yrs ago disallowed the use of any Phosphates in Dishwasher detergents. The Phosphates would keep the Mach. clean throughout. Its the water pathways that you CANT see/get to, thats causing the Odor. So, it turns out that the right quantity of Citric Acid does the Trick! Be sure to read the directions! You MUST remove the plastic peel from the Cap, leaving the Cap alone! Place cleaner upside down on the BOTTOM rack! Then, with machine empty, run the High Temp.(140°F), Sani-Rinse cycle,(mine took 3hrs). Abracadabra! No more Odor! Am placing on Amazon Auto Del. Will use once/mo. at $4 , its so worth it.

This really works to clean the dishwasher. Make sure you use the hottest setting for your water.

I bought this dishwasher cleaner because it seemed like a relatively easy product to use and I was correct. I also like that the packaging is recyclable. You just have to make sure that you have the ability to set your dishwasher to a very hot setting in order for it to work its magic. I cant say that it is super effective at tackling hard water (lime scale) YET but Ive used it twice on a relatively old dishwasher that I have to assume never had any sort of cleaning process done to it. There is still some scale on the nozzles that spray water around the machine but it definitely has made an improvement in the overall smells that come from the dishwasher so far. I have to warn though that the scent of this product is kinda strong in terms of chemical but it dissipates after a few uses of the machine after you use the product. After using twice so far though (once a month) Im pleased with the results so far.

Now granted, I live in a rental so Im not sure what this dishwasher smelled like new, but Ive been to big box stores and it smelled similar to those machines. It was super simple to use the cleaner with the instructions on the bottle. You should definitely still clean out the filter on the dishwasher to make sure its fully clean. Thats it...follow the instructions and your dishwasher wont smell terrible.

It’s so important to actually wash your dishwasher! I use these every three months in my dishwasher on the hot deep clean cycle. To keep up on cleaning I use the cheaper cleaning tabs from Finish once a month. This product does a good job of getting the inside of the dishwasher to shine again and it smells significantly better after the cycle finishes. To be honest, the scent it gives off while cleaning the dishwasher is not pleasant. Has a chemical smell to it, as soon as the cycle ends and you open the dishwasher to help air dry it isn’t the best. If you can handle it, once the dishwasher is clean and dry, it smells 10x better. I also remove my filter in the bottom of the dishwasher and clean it in tandem when I use these packs. Small particles get caught in the filter and cause mold and smell awful. Using this product and soaking/cleaning the filter with vinegar every three months keeps my dishwasher smelling great and it cleans all of my dishes well!

I love this little cleanser and it scrubs my dishwasher very well. Within a wash cycle, the heating coil, water stains and other impurities are gone effectively. So kudos to the functionality. However, it left a very strong chemical scent which I dislike. I use free and clear gels for my regular wash because I really hate the strong scent left from the wash pods. If there is a way to imporve such annoying fact, definitely a feature request to the maker. Overall, I recommend this product and would still use it. After all, I could run another quick rinse cycle to get rid of the smell quickly (with some water waste....)
