Hate stuck on food and spotty watermarks on your ‘clean’ dishes and glasses? How to get your dishwasher and dishes sparkling clean, the easy way!
One of the household chores I dislike the most is washing dishes! So I try to do as much as I can in our dishwasher and do as little hand washing as I can.
What I find really frustrating is when I open the dishwasher of ‘clean dishes’ only to find stuck on food and spotty watermarks on my dishes and glasses! It’s such a pain to have to rewash and dry them by hand!
I’m trying out these new products: FINISH® JET-DRY® Rinse Agent and FINISH® Dishwasher Cleaner to see if it’ll be an easy and effective way to get my dishes and dishwasher sparkling clean!
Here’s my review and opinions…(I was amazed!):
My regular detergent is so frustrating! After running my dishwasher food is left on my dishes and on my dishwasher door!
What???? ‘Why do I need to clean my dishwasher’ you ask? Lots of hidden dirt, grim and food particles are hiding in your dishwasher! You’d never take a bath in a dirty tub so why would you wash your dishes in a dirty dishwasher?
FINISH® Dishwasher Cleaner deep cleans and removes grease and lime scale build up. And it’s so easy to use!
I just removed the sticker from the top of the bottle without removing the cap. Making sure my dishwasher was empty, I placed the bottle upside down in a dish rack or in a secure position and ran the dishwasher. (For best results, use once a month).
Wow! I can’t believe how clean my dishwasher looks now!

I love this product! We used it at our old house to get a few rust spots off the dishwasher (mainly because I never used it … whoops) and it worked like a dream! Best part is that they always have coupons in the Sunday paper!
Blurg, we get the WORST spots on our dishes because the water is really hard here in Chicago! Definitely going to give Finish a try and see if we can’t clean up those dishes a bit, thanks!
Finish is a great way to deal with water spots Jessi!!
This post was rather timely. As I type this I’m running my dishwasher for the second time this morning because they didn’t come clean the first time. This cycle I used Finish so we’ll see if there’s a difference. I must try the dishwasher cleaner – maybe that’s part of my problem.

Oh dear – that is so frustrating Marie! Yes – I’d try the dishwasher cleaner – it really made a huge difference and removed even the tiniest food particles that used to always remain!
I only ever use Finish, it works amazing. But, you missed the Finish Quantum PowerbaLL, I’ll never use liquid or powder again. I ‘took the challenge’ a couple years ago and never looked back. I love the rinse agent and machine cleaner too.
Great post, Heather!
Debbie 🙂
Oh – thanks Debbie – I’ll have to check out the powerball! Sounds amazing!
I LOVE Finish and use their product all the time!! We used to get awful water spots, but now we are all CLEAR!
I will look for this product today at Publix. I am so tired of re-washing dishes and glasses
Oh great Sharon – hope you find it there!! I know it’s so frustrating isn’t it?
Thank you for this! I’ve been struggling with this for many months…grrrr! I’ll grab some dishwasher cleaner and see if it helps. 🙂
I hope it does Kristin – it really made a difference to use the dishwasher cleaner for me!
Will definitely have to try this! Thanks for the information.
