Love this.

of all the cleaning products i have used over the years none have surprised me, in a good way. the effectiveness Glisten dishwasher magic cleaner is amazing. we have very hard water which combines with the soap to make terrible white deposits. before using this i would use a knife to chisel what i could out and then scrub using CLR. no matter how much i would try there was always a lot left over. let alone the build up i could not see inside within parts.

i picked up my first of this cleaner on a whim when shopping at a nearby brick & mortar shop. i had hoped for good results but honestly didn't expect much. my expectations were totally blown away! this stuff was/is flat out amazing! the stuff that had built up over a couple years which no matter what i did i could not get out? this did the trick!

since i have used this at least once every two months, sometimes once a month. it made our dishwasher on the inside look as it did new, no deposits whatsoever remained. looks are nice but i was more concerned with what i could not see. a simple call for repair can easily cost nearly what the dishwasher cost new. for me going this route was just common sense preventative care.

it has been two years since we started using this and will continue to use it as long as it is available. there is nothing better IMHO.

I keep a log of when I use the product so that I know when next to use it--about every two months. Even though instructions say not to put anything into the dishwasher when running the cleaner through it, I also include into the dishwasher compartment the stainless steel sink rack (for our Kohler stainless steel sink), and the stainless steel baffles (filters) for our above-stove cooking extractor vent. We have a hard water supply that coats the sink rack with precipitate, and the extractor baffles accumulate a moderate grease/cooking aerosol debris coating through normal operation; both the rack and the baffles come out very clean.

(Note: Before placing the sink rack and the vent baffles in the dishwasher, I temporarily remove the rubber feet from the sink rack, and position the baffles so that the cleaning process liquid can drain out the bottom of the baffles; I also make sure that the rotating wash arms don't contact the sink rack and extractor baffles when the dishwasher is operating. Of course, I re-install the rack's rubber feet after the cleaning cycle and before placing the rack back into the sink.)

I am so happy I found this stuff! It has brought back our dishwasher from near death. We have hard water, and did not live in this house when the dishwasher was installed, so I had no idea what it looked like when new. The landlord had warned us that the dishwasher may not be working correctly and was willing to replace it, but I figured it was probably due to phosphates being taken out of all the dishwasher soap and replacing the dishwasher would just be a waste of his money. It took me a long time to realize that the inside of our dishwasher had a solid coating of hard water ick. The heating element was solid white. I am assuming the multiple holes in the jet arms were in similar shape. I tried CLR, vinegar, and other rumored miracle treatments, but they didn't help. Then I read about Glisten and gave it a shot. The first bottle did wonders, and I learned that the heating element is actually black. There is still some hard water crust in there, but it is a huge improvement, and I'm going to keep running Glisten through there on a regular schedule. Each time I have done so, more of the ick disappears. Between using Glisten and finding my own phosphates to add to the soap, the dishwasher is actually getting most of the dishes clean on the first try (it would probably work even better if my family knew how to rinse off a dish). It seems like we do have a new dishwasher, we just had to chisel away the gunk hiding it first.

I found this product when I bought a new dishwasher last year I think it works great. The price is good also.
Will buy again.
