> 3 dayIve used this product many times always using the hottest and pots and pans cycle on the dishwasher. Afterwards there is still a film I need to clean off the inside of the door which is silver metal. Ive also stopped using their pods and liquid soap for better quality.

> 3 dayThis product is fantastic. I cleaned the inside of my dishwasher CONSTANTLY, scrubbed filters, ran loads with baking soda, vinegar, even bleach, but the wet dog smell kept coming back. One time using this and I havent had it since. Just bought 2 more.

> 3 dayBefore you read my review--Ive read many reviews on here from people stating that it doesnt work because the wax wouldnt melt (among other complaints). Theres a clear reason for this--your dishwasher is so dirty that --your dishwasher-- doesnt work. If your dishwasher is so dirty that it cant reach a high temperature, you need to either hire someone to come and clean your dishwasher, or spend a few hours taking it apart and cleaning it. Look online for some good home recipes for dishwasher cleaners. Once your dishwasher can actually reach a high temperature, then use this (and update your review). - - - - - - - - - - - My family goes through a lot of dishes in a week. Id say that the dishwasher is run, on average, 1 1/2 times every two days. After falling behind on maintenance with our last dishwasher (a Whirlpool QuietPartner III), about every six months it would just stop and error out. Id have to unload the entire dishwasher, take the entire thing apart, clean out the filter, run cleaning solution through it (vinegar mostly) to attempt to remove the build up (some of it was so set that it wouldnt clean off), put it all back together and then say to myself I need to remember to do this every few months so that it doesnt stop in the middle of the cycle. Of course, I rarely remembered this and put up with a dishwasher that routinely errored out more and more frequently. We bought a new dishwasher this past Summer--a lovey Bosch with extra space, an option for half load, and an easy-access filter. No more pulling out my toolkit to clean the filter! Anyway, once it was installed and spotless I made a commitment to clean the filter a few times a week (its so easy) and run dishwasher cleaner through it twice a month. We have hard water and, like I said, run the dishwasher a lot. I set up subscribe and save to send me Finishs cleaner. I run it on the 1st and 15th of every month. I also wipe down all of the surfaces. The result? Its a 6 month old dishwasher which has been run at least 100 times--and its spotless. Dishes come out sparkling, it smells good, there is no build up anywhere... and youd think it was brand new. This was the recommended brand by Bosch so Ive never tried another cleaner. But, I have no reason to ever deviate. Even if the competitors product were cheaper, I wouldnt try it. I know this works and saving a dollar or two isnt enough reason to try something else. --The one and only complaint that I have is regarding delivery. I live in Wisconsin and it gets mighty cold here. Ive had this delivered when its below zero and the liquid froze. As a result, it broke the plastic container and started to leak everywhere. I quickly put it in the dishwasher and ran the sanitize cycle, but what if I hadnt noticed? I dont know the solution to this, but, if you live someplace thats cold, and have it delivered, this package on your doorstep may turn into an ice cube--and break the container.

> 3 dayWe have two Bosch dishwashers in our kitchen. They are 20 years old and generally have done a great job over the years; however, they have been taking longer and longer to complete their cycles because of hard-water deposits on the heating elements. In most (or all) Bosch dishwashers, the heating element is inaccessible (which is great since no plastics can fall on it and melt), so its not possible to manually clean or inspect it. Hard-water minerals and other gunk build up on the heaters over time and decrease their heating ability while taking longer and using more energy to get through the cycle. I didnt take before images, but you can see how clean and sparkling everything is in my after images. The filter plug is image two, and this was after I degreased it. The fine mesh screen did not come fully clean with just the Finish cleaner. We used this cleaner as directed and the dishwasher is sparkling clean inside, smells very clean and fresh, and the racks glide in and out much more easily than before. I did not realize that the racks were resisting movement, but now that they are clean, they move with almost no effort even when fully loaded. The main stainless filter screen on the bottom of the tank did come sparkling clean, but the final filter screen did not. Its made of some sort of very fine plastic and still appealed to be somewhat clogged with grease, minerals, food debris, or perhaps a combination of them all after using the Finish dishwasher cleaner. I had to separately remove the filter and use a strong degreaser on it to get it totally clean, so next time I will do this ahead of using the Finish dishwasher cleaner product. I cant complain after 20 years of use and never cleaning the filter. I hope that by starting with a clean filter and with regular use of the Finish cleaner, it will not be necessary to clean the filters manually. The dishes are spotlessly clean now and the cycle is running about 20 minutes less than before cleaning, so we are saving time and money -- probably enough to offset the the cost of the Finish cleaner. For those who do not like scents, the product does have a fresh, but lingering, scent. After 2 cycles, the scent was gone, but the dishwasher is cleaning and working as if it were new. I never imagined that I would have to wash my dishwasher, but since I apparently do, Cinderfella here recommends this Finish dishwasher cleaner. PS -- one item of concern is this from the product listing: Do not mix with chlorine bleach or any other product as harmful fumes may result. We use Jet-dry rinse agent regularly, so there was some of that injected during the cycle. I assume no harmful fumes resulted. There is no way to turn off the rinse agent injector and no way to tell if its completely empty. Perhaps the vendor should address this concern and indicate if there is an issue with using Jet-Dry with the cleaner.

> 3 dayTried to run dishwasher on hottest water with dish washer detergent and did not work well enough. I bought this dishwasher cleaner and it does clean almost all the dirt accumulated at the filter but do not expect perfection.
