Why You Need It
Over time, grease, food particles, soap scum, and hard water minerals can accumulate in areas you can’t see—like the spray arms, drain, and interior parts of the machine. This buildup can lead to unpleasant smells, reduced cleaning performance, and even cause your dishwasher to wear out faster. Yikes, right?
That’s where Finish Dishwasher Deep Cleaner comes in. It’s specially formulated to remove those hidden deposits and stubborn residues that regular dishwashing detergent can’t tackle. Whether you’ve noticed an odor, poor cleaning performance, or simply want to keep your dishwasher in tip-top shape, this cleaner does the job without any extra effort on your part.
So, even though your dishwasher’s job is to clean, it’s kind of like the unsung hero that needs a little help every once in a while to keep it running smoothly. Think of it as giving your dishwasher a spa day—one that ensures it’s performing at its best!
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Finish Dishwasher Deep Cleaner
Using Finish Dishwasher Deep Cleaner is super simple—trust me, you won’t need to break a sweat. Here’s how to make your dishwasher feel like it’s getting a fresh start.
1. Empty the Dishwasher: First things first: make sure your dishwasher is completely empty. No dishes allowed on this spa day! You want to give the cleaner free reign to target all the hidden nooks and crannies inside.
2. Place the Deep Cleaner in the Bottom Rack: Next, take the Finish Dishwasher Deep Cleaner bottle and place it upside down in the bottom rack of your dishwasher. Don’t open the bottle—just let it sit there, as the cleaner will be released during the cycle.
3. Run the Dishwasher on the Hottest Setting: Now, close the door and set your dishwasher to its hottest setting, ideally a heavy-duty or intensive wash cycle. The heat is key because it helps activate the cleaner and lets it break down all that grime and buildup.
4. Let It Work Its Magic: Press start and let the dishwasher run through the cycle. The cleaner will dissolve and start working on all those hidden spots—like spray arms, filters, and hard-to-reach areas. Sit back, relax, and let the machine do its job!
5. Wipe Down the Interior (Optional): Once the cycle is complete, you can wipe down the inside of your dishwasher with a clean cloth or sponge if you’d like. This isn’t necessary, but it can give your machine that extra level of sparkle.
Pro Tips for Best Results
1. Use Regularly (but not too often!): While you don’t need to deep clean your dishwasher every week, it’s a good idea to give it a thorough cleaning every 1-2 months. This keeps everything running smoothly and prevents buildup from sneaking up on you. If you’ve noticed a bad smell or dishes not coming out as clean, it’s probably time to give it a deep clean!
2. Run a Pre-Clean Cycle (Optional): If your dishwasher is really dirty or has a lot of visible grime, consider running a short cycle with just hot water before using the deep cleaner. This will help loosen any large food particles or buildup, allowing the cleaner to target the tougher spots more effectively.
3. Don’t Overuse the Cleaner: One bottle of Finish Dishwasher Deep Cleaner is enough for a single cleaning cycle. No need to use more—overdoing it won’t make your dishwasher cleaner, and you’ll just end up wasting product. Keep it simple and let the cleaner do its job!
4. Wipe Down After Use: Even after the cleaning cycle, it’s helpful to wipe down the edges of the door and around the seals. This helps prevent moisture from lingering and forming mold or mildew. Plus, it leaves your machine looking brand new!
5. Follow Up with a Regular Dishwasher Detergent: After you’ve deep-cleaned your dishwasher, keep it in top shape by using a quality detergent like Finish Quantum or Finish All-in-1 when you do your regular loads. These detergents help prevent buildup from forming again, so you don’t have to deep clean as often.
Now that you’ve got these pro tips, your dishwasher is all set to stay fresh and perform like a champ. Just a little care goes a long way, and it’s totally worth it when your dishes come out spotless every time!
