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

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

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 bought this to help combat when our washer gets a little bit of a stagnant odor now and then (about 2x a year). Our machine is very clean and always is - never had an issue with it not staying sparkly. Im not entirely sure this worked for what Im using it for, but hopeful. It is very easy to use, and not expensive. I would recommend.

I was pleasantly surprised how well this cleaned my dishwasher!! Buying again for future use

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.

As described

Easy to use. Cleans the dishwasher and freshens it.

We have extremely hard water and when we moved in the dishwasher was completely covered with white hardwater residue. I thought it must be really old and would need replacement. At first I tried another brand of tablets and so no improvement. However after just one run with this cleaner pretty much 100% of the surface area exposed while the dishwasher was running came out sparkling clean. It surpassed all my expectations. My only regret was not getting a before picture to show how much it really did. I am not running it every couple of months to keep the dishwasher clean and in working order.

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!

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