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

I love Finish products, so decided to try this when I saw it. I loved the results so much, I ended up buying all my family members one!

Before 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.

Cleaned all the gunk and residue. Tried to clean the dishwasher several times. Should have bought this sooner.

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.

Used this on a dishwasher with stainless steel interior. The interior had gotten discolored. I tried the dishwasher cleaning hacks they recommend like using lemon crystals - didn’t do anything. This product made it look like new inside. I followed other reviewers suggestions to watch the propeller on the bottom, and make sure it wasn’t hitting the product as you sit it on the lower tray, and I used the hottest setting, which includes a sani-rinse in the hopes that it would make sure the little wax part melted and released the liquid. Worked like a charm. Buying more. However, I will mention that it did not make the dishes seem any cleaner on the next wash. Some reviewers indicated it seemed to improve the cleaning ability of the machine. Did not in this case. But it made the machine sparkling clean, like new inside, and it did not leave an overpowering odor. It just smelled clean.

This product is amazing! I used it to clean my dishwasher in an apartment I recently moved it which was in bad condition and smelly. I only used this one time and it completely cleaned it and removed all stains and odors. Easy to use!

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

I was apprehensive about buying this particular container. It was big. After I received it, I put it in the “rinse” container, and washed my dishes. I LOVED how clean my dishes felt. I’d buy it again.

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