Finish Dishwasher Powder

Finish powder for dishwashers A high-quality dishwashing detergent is the most important thing so that your dishes come out of the dishwasher clean and shiny. There are a lot of such tools, and choosing them is not easy. Many people prefer not to bother and take multifunctional tablets, while others prefer to save money and buy powder. It is the powder from the Finish company that will be discussed further.

Description of Finish powder for dishwashers

Products from Finish for all types of dishwashers are, without exaggeration, the most popular because they are the most advertised. Some dishwasher manufacturers recommend Finish as the best and highest quality product. What is the advantage of this company’s powder, let’s figure it out by looking at its composition:

tripolyphosphoric acid salts make up about 30% of all substances, it is thanks to them that fats are removed;
oxygen-containing bleach is no more than 5% and is necessary to remove tea deposits and other contaminants;
surfactants for foam formation;
enzymes – enzymes that help break down protein and carbohydrate stains at low temperatures;
flavorings.

In general, the composition is normal, which, by the way, does not contain phosphates, which are positioned today as unsafe compounds.

In addition to those listed above, the powder may contain a special substance called StainSoaker by the manufacturer, which literally translates as “stain remover.” Apparently, thanks to the presence of this stain remover, the powder copes with stubborn lipstick and coffee stains. This substance also penetrates deep into dried stains, dissolving them, making the dishes clean. Finish powder

The first Finish powder to appear on our market was brought from Germany. Currently there are packages of powder from Denmark, Poland, Finland. Powders are packaged in plastic boxes of different weights: 1; 1.5; 2; 2.5 kg. Here are some examples:

Finish Classic, 1 kg – powder with a soaking effect, average cost $4;
Calgonit Finish Classic, 2.5 kg - German-made powder for all types of dishwashers, costing about $11;
Calgonit Finish Lemon, 2.5 kg - German-made dishwasher powder with a lemon scent and costing about $10.

How to use it correctly

powder receptacle in the dishwasher Any dishwasher powder, including Finish, must be dosed and not poured in by eye. To do this, use a measuring cup or spoon. 20-25 g of product is enough for one load. The powder compartment in many dishwashers is located on the inside of the door. In the photo the compartment is indicated by the symbol “D”.

If you need to use the pre-soak function, then another 5 g of powder can be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol “C”. This dosage is an average dosage, suitable for full-size machines when fully loaded. To find out how much dishwashing powder you need, experiment, taking into account the load of the machine, the degree of soiling of the dishes and the hardness of the tap water, because it can be different for everyone, which means the dosage of the powder will also be different. It may turn out that pouring 15 g of product into a countertop dishwasher will be enough. Don’t worry, after just a few washes, you will automatically add the right amount of product.

It is very important to use along with the powder regenerating salt and rinse aid.Salt will help restore the work of the ion exchanger to soften the water. Rinse aid is needed so that the dishes become shiny, dry better, and avoid streaks and drips.

Important! Only a combination of all three products powder + rinse aid + salt from Finish will give the best effect of washing dishes in the dishwasher.

Is it worth using: consumer opinion

You decide for yourself whether or not to buy Finish powder. Once this powder, we think we've tried everything. What do consumers say about it? We found the following reviews.

Eleanor, Khabarovsk

Over the four years of using the dishwasher, my husband and I tried different detergents. The main selection criterion for us is price and the absence of aftertaste on the dishes. I really like using tablets, but sometimes we also buy Finish powder, 1 kg.

The packaging of the powder is very convenient; pour the powder by eye, following the marks on the compartment. It’s difficult to say how much one kilogram is enough, since we alternate with tablets. The washing result is excellent, no aftertaste remains on the dishes. We use only salt with the powder.

When I bought the dishwasher, I thought that I would use it very rarely. But no such luck, I turn it on every day, sometimes twice. At first I used tablets for washing, but over time it became clear that the consumption was crazy, and they cost a lot. I decided to try the powder, and of course, at the behest of the advertisement, I chose Finish, which is recommended by many dishwasher manufacturers. A 2.5 kg package with lemon scent cost me about $7.

It is very convenient to pour the powder into the compartment, since there is a special spout on the package; in addition, for this, the manufacturer does not pour out the full package, leaving room for free pouring of the powder. Despite the fact that the powder is scented, the dishes and dishwasher do not smell anything after it.

I pour the powder into the compartment from the heart, after one attempt to save money, I had to wash the dishes by hand. Therefore, I decided that you couldn’t save on the amount of powder. I almost always use the long mode at 70 degrees, the dishes are washed well. The only thing that is not completely washed is the bottom of the pan from the multicooker - a white residue remains. There was no more raid anywhere. As for consumption, it’s the third month of using a bottle weighing 2.5 kg, about half is left, probably enough for another two months. I recommend it to everyone, although it’s a little expensive, and I’ll try some other powder myself for comparison.

For two years now I have been using a miracle piece of equipment – a dishwasher, which I simply adore. Today I decided to share my impressions of Finish powder for different types of washing machines. I bought it by chance at a discount. In general, I have not used the Finish brand before, although most dishwasher owners prefer it. Finish products are very expensive, there are products for washing machines of other brands that are cheaper and wash just as well.

I bought Finish powder only because of the big discount. A 2.5 kg canister lasted me for several months. There is a spout for pouring powder, which for some reason opens very poorly. The washing quality is excellent, the powder leaves no odor, and this is the main thing. Overall, I was pleased with the purchase, and therefore if there is another promotion, I will definitely buy Finish for washing machines.

In conclusion, we note that using powder for dishwashers is much more profitable than using tablets; even the quality of washing, as consumers note, is better. Which brand of powder to use, choose for yourself, it will be Finish or some other, the main thing is that it copes with its task.
