Finish leaves my dishwasher clean and smells awesome
Every time I have used this, never had a problem. I brought it as a double pack. Put in the empty dishwasher bottom rack like plates, take sticker off put on intense cycle. My dishwasher smells and looks clean. A quality product for reasonable price.

Stupid packaging
Twice I have bought this and both times the wax never released even after cycling twice on the hottest setting. I should have learnt the 1st time but no I bought it a second time thinking maybe it was faulty but no same thing happened and run it through twice. Ended up just pouring the product in the dishwasher in the end then running it on a quick setting as I had already wasted enough water trying to get it to work. Won't be by buying again or ever recommending.

Wax would not melt
Tried 4 different times. Wax would not melt. Gave up threw it in the garbage. A real waste of money. Nothing else to say here. I will stick to CLR.

Finish dishwasher cleaner.
Finish dishwasher cleaner - followed the instructions and after an hour n a half later the seal of the cap did not released the cleaner. It failed and it's so frustrating as we've wasted the cycle of wash to nothing !

bottle still full
I set the dishwasher on a hot long cycle, removed the sticker, and at the end the bottle was still full, although it looked different - only a little blue at the top and the rest clear liquid. Did I do something incorrectly. Dishwasher looks clean but not sure if it actually worked.

Yes it did clean my dishwasher, but now my dishwasher is not working? Not sure if coincidence?
I used this dishwasher cleaner and was very happy with the results, but today i went to use the dishwasher for the first time since, and it is not working! Ie: it fills with water and then stops when the dishwasher cleaning cycle is meant to work. It lets me use the drain cycle too. I have checked the filter and that is fine, the spray arms still spin so i might need to call someone to come and check it. Again, not sure if the problem is related or pure coincidence, but ive never had any dishwasher problems before now. I would have given 5 stars if my dishwasher was still working!

Like this product
I haven’t experienced anything bad on this product.. since I made sure that the
Stickers are properly removed
Have kept the bottle upside down in the bottom level plate rack and the cap not touching the spray arms ...
And ran the hottest cycle( pots cycle)
It was just awesome
But of course a bit overpriced ... better to buy in offer price

Cleans Very Well
I would not suggest listening to most of the reviews on here as many just complain about how the wax on the top of the cleaner does not melt. First make sure you remove the paper covering the wax and then ensure you are using a hot enough cycle to melt the wax, otherwise the liquid will not be released [you can't just use eco]
Now onto my review, overall my dishwasher is never dirty [at least visibly] so I cannot exactly verify how good it is with horribly dirty machines but it removes all presence of food smells and leaves the stainless ste...Read more
el inner tub nice and clean, if you have a low end dishwasher with a plastic or pores tub then this would work extremely well at also removing mould. It will also give your water pipes a fairly good clean as it removes limescale caused by hard water. However the dishwasher cleaner is fairly expensive and using it once a month as it recommends is a bit excessive. I would recommend doing it once every 3 months.Similar opinion?

Waste of money and time.
Wish I had reread this BEFORE wasting money on the product. Same result, 2cycles, 4 hours, still no melting of the wax. Hate to think what the electricity cost was.

Like many others said, it doesn’t work!
As many many many of the other reviews are saying (wish I read them before buying it) did EXACTLY what instructions said, peeled the seal off, DID NOT REMOVE the lid, place it on bottom rac’ of empty dishwasher and ran on longest HOTTEST CYCLE. THE WAX SEAL DID NOT BREAK. I ran it a second time, still did not break and over half the cleaner still in the bottle! Big waste of hot water and electricity. Better to go back to simple vinegar, as I did before. Waste of money, don’t bother buying.

Doesn't work and received rude letter back
When I tried to use it no cleaner was released. I reported the problem and the batch and received a rude letter in return. They said I didn't follow the instructions, which I did. They repeated the instructions emphasizing that I should not remove the cap - which I did not. And anyway if I had I'd expect the cleaner would be dispensed.

Love
This dishwasher cleansing product is amazing, it leaves your dishwasher smell clean and the dishes you pit in the washer after come out smelling fresh and clean. We recommend this product It your dishwasher is smelly and needs a clean.

Overpriced for job
This product is overpriced for the job is advertised to do. It might clean one time then another time it doesn't clean good. Baking soda and vinegar does the same job or a cheaper brand. I have used this product on two different dishwasher and same results. Unless it's works on other dishwasher brands that I haven't used. Well then it has not been tested on certain dishwasher brands.

POOR! Does not clean and didn't actually work! The seal didn't break! AVOID!
I have used this product in the past and it worked fine, but after trying for the 2nd time to get this to work, and having the dish washer on the correct cycle, the wax seal still didn't break and i was unsuccessful, wasting water having to try another cycle to try and get the seal to break.
I contact Finish customer service and all they said was try a hotter cycle, but it was on the hottest heavy duty cycle, and they offered no assistance or refund on the product.
Avoid at all costs. Fake product that doesn't do what is says it does!

What a waste!
This product did not perform as expected or as advertised. My LG dishwasher still had the same stains as before. I tried it because I like the Finish additive I use For a streak free shine, but this product is basically useless! Definitely would not recommend, especially after 3 plus hours of hot water and terrible results!

Does not work. Avoid
I have a high end dishwasher. The wax cap did not melt. In fact now that I think about it more deeply I’m not sure that melting a wax cap is a good thing to clean a dishwasher. Wasted my water and electricity. Going to bin it and simply run empty machine on pots and pans setting once a month. Tip: avoid using tablets with melt off coating in your machine.

Waste of time
Exactly same as previous review I read. The wax doesn't melt, even if you scratch some off. Did six washes and the liquid inside hadn't been used up at all. Stupidly, I thought I'd just bought a dodgy one and bought another, but the second one was exactly the same.

Questions & Answers
Johnasked
This isn't a question but rather a tidbit of information. As a maintenance technician dealing with repairs of commercial dishwashers I can assure you that these "cleaning" products are a scam. Think about this, if your dishes come out all sparkly and clean, why wouldn't the same pipes and pump that circulate that water be cleaned at the same time? The answer.... They ARE! The grease and grime doesn't "move away" from the dishes and then stick on the dishwasher! The enzyme used to break down the grease is very corrosive. I've pulled apart wash pumps that are worn away from the dishwashing tablets. They are absolutely NOT greasy or grimey inside. In fact they are just as clean as your dishes. They smell in the dishwasher is coming from the little bit of moisture left in the sump after you empty it. If you leave the door ajar for a few hours the moisture will evaporate and you won't need this "cleaning" crap..... Use this information as you wish. Save money or waste it... Up to you.

Have run the cleaner as directed on back of bottle. Pealed sticker off and ran through high temp cycle. Cleaner still in container and won't come out. How should it come out? Does the center melt to release the liquid?

I had the same problem so can’t help. Sorry.
My research reveals it is a common problem! I ended up ringing the customer service number on the bottle. It was suggested I scraped the wax on the cap with my fingernail or a butter knife. I mad a significant hole in one segment & fluid flowed freely. Not happy I had to waste a whole lengthy cycle of hot water though!
