The best
Pros
By far the best clean of all products I've tested, including Finish.
Great at cleaning the dishwasher is it cleans your dishes.
Helps to remove that stale dishwasher smell that builds up when using other dishwasher tablets.
Cons
Pleasant but strong perfume smell that stays with plastic items, so it's not a product I would use every time, all the time.
I think that consistent use wears crockery out quicker than other products.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
