Q: HOW do we remove the smell of this product from our dishwasher? Half a dozen loads later, the fragrance is still so strong it burns my eyes and makes our dishes TASTE like this product. Help??

submitted by Lezlie - 3 years ago
  • A: Same experience as others. Followed instructions, ran on an empty load. Multiple loads later we are still drowning in the scent, dishes are as well. Multiple dishes will become unusable if I can’t hand wash this smell out with other soaps.

    submitted byWexler - 9 months ago
  • A: 2024 and still horrible! You should listen to your customers!

    submitted byDissapointed - 7 months ago
  • A: Hello. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy the long lasting fresh scent Finish Dual Action dishwasher cleaner has to offer. The scent notes contain a citrus core with Eucalyptus Mint. The scent will fade after a few washes. As per the label instructions, this product is to be used in an empty dishwasher. When you get an opportunity, we'd like to speak with you further and check to see how you are doing. Please call us at 1-800-235-6052 between 9:00-5:00 EST (Monday - Friday) or send us an email via the Contact Us page on our website including the following case number RB0001102004, and we'd be more than happy to assist.

Q: Do you puncture the wax plug with a divider on bottom rack? Thanks

submitted by Uppitybs - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Uppitybs, no, you should not puncture the wax plug on the bottom of Finish Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner. To ensure optimum results are achieved, here are some helpful tips: Do not remove the cap. Remove sticker from top of the bottle to expose the wax plug. Place bottle upside down in the bottom dish rack. Keep cap on and make sure the wax plug is exposed. Do not use any soap or detergents. Run dishwasher empty on the hottest cycle (i.e. pots and pans, sanitation, etc.). Discard the empty bottle at the end of the cycle. As the manufacturer of Finish, we would also like an opportunity to better assist you. Please call 1-800-235-6052 between 9:00-5:00 EST (Monday - Friday) or send us an email via the Contact Us page on our website including the following reference number, RB0000285706, and we would be more than happy to help.

  • A: I did it with 2 different bottle and neither one worked. Had to call # on back and send photo to get money back. DO NOT BUY!

    submitted bybad product - 5 months ago
  • A: I followed the manufacturer's directions to the letter; however, the wax plug did not melt at all, even after I ran my dishwasher twice on the sanitize cycle. The water seemed hot enough. In fact, my glasses fogged up when I opened the dishwasher mid-cycle to check whether the Finish Liquid Dishwasher Machine Cleaner bottle was empty. Nevertheless, I had to pierce the wax plug with a toothpick to get the produce out. I am willing to try again, but I can't say it was easy to use. Any suggestions?

Q: I tried 2 different bottles and neither wax plug would dissolve, so the cleaner would not come out. I called the number on the back of bottle and have to send a picture in to get my money back?

submitted by bad product - 5 months ago
  • A: Thank you for reaching out to us. These are the tips for Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner - Liquid to dispense: 1. Sticker needs to be removed to expose wax plug. Wax plug needs to completely melt in order to dispense liquid. 2. Must use hottest cycle in order to melt the wax plug 3. Bottle must be turned upside down with cap/wax plug facing down. The hot water of cycle will melt the plug, allowing liquid to dispense. For more other concerns, you can call us at 1-800-235-6052 between 9:00-5:00 EST (Monday - Friday) and mention the following reference number RB0005656557, and we would be happy to assist you further.

This has a super strong chemical fragrance. The day I used it my whole house smelled awful. It’s been more than a week now and my dishwasher still stinks. The kitchenware that has been washed in the dishwasher smells like it was rinsed in cheap perfume and I can taste it in the food that I prepare with those items. I feel sick about exposing my family to this stuff :(

I should have listened to the other reviews. The wax plug did not come out, even though I followed all the directions. I even ran it 3 more times and still nothing. When I finally poked it out and ran it, the chemical smell was so overpowering that I had to run a few empty cycles before I would put dishes in. It only got rid of the funky smell in the dishwasher because we were all too lightheaded to notice. It literally came back the next day. I don’t think it actually did anything…

Followed directions and ran a long cycle with hot water and when cycle was complete, the product had not emptied at all..very disappointed. That was a lot of water wasted, and energy. Picked at the wax cap a bit and put it back in the dishwasher upside down as I did the first time and this time it worked. Has to be a better way for this product to work!!!

It effectively cleans our dishwasher, as far as I know. It does leave a chemical smell behind; our usual solution is to run the dishwasher a second time with nothing in it.

Honestly was a bit afraid of using this due to some of the reviews about stinking up the whole house with chemicals, and I honestly didn't smell anything that was offputting. Honestly didn't smell anything. Everyone is different I guess in terms of chemical sensitivity. It was easy to use in the lower rack, and set it on the highest heat setting and ran it for two hours. No complaints.

I really like this product. #1 Odor is strong after using. I air out dishwasher after use and all is fine. I find it makes the entire kitchen smell fresh. #2 Plug is not a problem if you follow the directions. People having trouble is likely due to the model of their dishwasher - water needs to be hot enough to dissolve the plug. #3 Yes it cleans but no it isn't a scrubber and you will have to wipe down between uses. I brought one to my sister who now loves too.

This item is a gamechanger and saved me from spending money on a service call. The water wasn't fully draining from the bottom of my dishwasher and I have a filter that can not be removed. I ran this through an empty dishwasher and it got rid of all of the food and grease build up, and no I have no standing water and my dishes and glasses come out crystal clear! It is a great prouduct and saved me hundreds on a service call. I am adding this into my maintenance routine. Very easy to use too!
