  • You can buy the cleaning products from you local supermarket. It is made by finish. Just take the lid off and run a cycle with no dishes inside.

    I watch the adverts for dishwasher tablets which talk about removing burnt on grease and grime & everything comes out sparkling...

    then I see adverts for special cleaning solutions to remove all the grease and grime in the pipes!


    Is this the same grease and grime that your tablets have just destroyed, leaving everything spotless? The whole wash is done with very hot water & toxic cleaners, it's all rinsed with very hot (boiling?) water - so how on earth do you get residue in the machine after a wash?

    It simply doesn't make sense - ok, it does, but only from the point of view of the company who makes the cleaner & is trying to flog us more product.

    I use tang. My dishwasher is stainless steel inside. The first time I put in a whole can of tang. Run it through. then after that I just add a few tablespoons of tang to the dishwasher with dishes in it. Cleaned beautifully. Walmart is cheapest in the tang. It took all the soap scum off around the soap dispenser and shined the inside.
