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

Good results.

So I got this product to clean my machine regularly. I’m a big fan of Taking care of your machines so they last longer. I read the instructions and got ready and exited for my machine, I call her Lola. Lola was probably super dirty since I rent and I have no idea how well the last tenant took care of her. So anyway I pulled the sticker (you are NOT supposed to take the wax plug out) upside down in the rack, set the cycle and 2 and some more minutes hours later the results were confusing. The wax plug did not melt, which left me thinking if I had done it correctly or not, so I did what anyone does this days, YouTube my troubleshoot. After a few videos, I’ve learned that sometimes the water is not hot enough to melt the plug, soy they recommended I turn the water on my faucet to the hottest and then run the cleaning cycle again (extra hot, heavy etc). I didn’t work again, so I thought that maybe it needed a little help. So I opened my faucet again with the hottest water and melted most but not all of the plug. It kind of worked, after yet another cycle, most of the plug and almost all the product were gone. I didn’t like the idea of me running 3 cycles and running hot water on my faucet to get the result it should do in 1 go. Also I gives your washer a very intense soap smell, which I did not enjoy. As a conclusion, I have mixed feelings because it could be Lola who’s not giving enough hot water or I could be the product, but it seemed in my YouTube search that it happens more often that not. I changed to another brand and I’m quite happy with the results

Does a very good job of cleaning the dishwasher.

I have used this for 10 years and would never chang to something else. Does a great job

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.

Tried his because it came up on things I may want, and it works great! Now I get one and use from time to time! Love it!

Good to know I can order these from Amazon only because they are hard to find in the stores most of the time. They really leave the dish washer smelling clean and fresh. I rated a 4 because it seems to be quite smaller than the ones they sell in the stores.

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.

Maybe I just missed the detail, but I didnt realize this is just a one dose container so I thought it was maybe kinda pricey after I got it and read the instruction about using the whole bottle in one use. It works and its not like I can remember the last time I ran a cleaner through my machine. It looked OK but I thought to do a cleaning just on general principals since the Finish dish cleaning packets work well but Ive got a lotta well water in my rust and the plastic was looking a little bit dingey. It looks new now. DWG

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....)
