How to use Finish dishwasher tablets

Even the best dishwasher tablets will not have the desired effect if used incorrectly. To avoid any confusion, carefully read the instructions for use provided on the packaging of the detergent. Also be sure to read the user manual that comes with any PMM.

Application of Finish tablets

Information on how to use Finish tablets is on the packaging. Be sure to read the instructions for use of the detergent. Firstly, the manufacturer recommends opening the pack very carefully so as not to damage the contents. Secondly, you need to take out the capsules with dry hands so that the shell does not get wet and dissolve ahead of time.

In fact, using Finish tablets is very simple and much more convenient than the same powder or dishwasher gel. Let's look at the main nuances regarding the use of tablets for PMM.

• There is no need to remove the film that covers the tablet. Do not take the capsule with wet hands. It is also important to ensure that the dispenser compartment of the dishwasher is dry, otherwise the Finish shell will dissolve prematurely, the product will soften and some of the composition will remain on the walls of the tray without reaching the dirty dishes. This will reduce the cleaning efficiency.
• In order for water with a detergent composition (in our case, with a dissolved Finish tablet) to evenly wash all the dishes in the working chamber, you need to leave a small gap between the cutlery.Also, do not overload the machine - this will negatively affect the quality of the wash and can lead to premature failure of the device.
• It is recommended to use Finish tablets with a mouthwash from the same company. The liquid is poured into a special compartment of the dispenser. The rinse aid is used to “help” the main tablet product. It prevents streaks from appearing on dishes and speeds up the drying of cutlery.
• Be sure to use PMM Finish salt along with the tablets. It is necessary to soften hard tap water. Salt crystals prevent the appearance of scale and limescale on the parts of the device. The salt compartment is located at the bottom of the washing chamber of the machine.

Although Finish tablets contain salt crystals, experts still recommend adding additional regenerating salt to the dishwasher.

• You should not enhance the effect of Finish tablets with “homemade” remedies, for example, citric acid or vinegar, to make the dishes shine. The capsules contain a sufficient number of particles with a similar effect, so the cutlery will still shine after washing.
• It is recommended to use the Finish tablet once every six months for preventative cleaning of the dishwasher. You need to put one capsule in the dispenser and run the idle cycle, without any dishes in the chamber. The high temperature mode is selected. This procedure will benefit the device.

Do not use Finish capsules that have expired. Neither for washing dishes, nor for preventive cleaning of the machine. Experts warn about the dangers of such use, since the tablets contain active chemical components.

Types of tablets

On store shelves you can find several varieties of Finish tablets.They differ in the particles that make up the “rectangles”. There are three types of capsules Finish: Classic, Quantum And All–in–One. This is a more budget option, medium and most expensive, respectively. What are the significant differences?

The Finish brand offers both classic tablets and those with additives that enhance the basic composition and provide more effective cleaning of dishes.

The consumer is given the right to choose. Both budget and expensive tablets do an excellent job of cleaning dishes. So what are the differences between the Classic, Quantum and All-in-One capsules? We'll figure out.

Classic tablets are aimed at buyers looking for a budget option for cleaning products for PMM. These are universal capsules containing the unique StainSoaker additive. Due to this, there is no need to pre-clean and soak the dishes.

Finish Quantum capsules, according to the manufacturer, are in greatest demand. They operate on the 3 in 1 principle:

• remove grease and other contaminants;
• give dishes extra shine, speed up drying of cutlery;
• additionally soften the water;
• eliminates stains on glassware.

Finish Quantum capsules are available without fragrance or with a pleasant lemon scent. Also on sale are multilayer green gel tablets with apple and lime flavors.

The universal and most expensive Finish All-in-One tablets contain enzymes and many additional activators that can easily cope with the most difficult stains, including dried and burnt food. Capsules:

• easily remove grease, dirt, soot, dried food residues;
• make dishes shiny;
• have an anti-corrosion effect;
• protect not only the dishwasher, but also frying pans, saucepans, pots, baking trays from rust and scale;
• Suitable for caring for silver and cupronickel cutlery.

If you often use the “Quick Wash” mode, then Finish All-in-One capsules are the best option from the entire line. They work effectively even in cold water, dealing with contaminants in a matter of minutes.

When choosing Finish detergent, it is better to buy a small package of tablets of each type and choose which composition will be optimal specifically for you. Having made your decision and already trusting the manufacturer, you can purchase large packs of 100 capsules - it will be more economical.

People's opinions about this product

I have been using Finish dishwasher capsules for many years, and at the moment they are the best for me. Recently I started buying the All-in-One series, namely lemon-flavored tablets. Among the advantages I can highlight:

• convenient packaging format with a zip lock;
• excellent washing result;
• versatility of capsules;
• reasonable cost.

Information about the application and manufacturer is on the product packaging. You can get acquainted with it before purchasing tablets. The capsules themselves are of a standard shape, one “rectangle” is designed for one-time washing, which is very convenient.

Finish tablets do their job 100%. I am very pleased with the results from using the compressed product, so I don’t even experiment with formulations from other manufacturers. I always buy a large package of 100 pieces, it turns out to be more profitable.

Having bought a Zanussi dishwasher, I wondered what detergent I should buy. Store shelves were bursting with a variety of powders, gels and dishwasher tablets.I swept away the granules right away; it seemed to me that it would be inconvenient to pour them into the tray, constantly measuring the required dosage. Therefore, I settled on capsules for PMM Finish All-in-One. I still use them to this day.

One tablet contains cleaning particles, salt, and rinse aid. In addition, the composition contains substances that prevent the formation of limescale. All information is on the capsule packaging.

Each Finish tablet has an individual shell, which does not need to be removed before loading the capsule into the PMM dispenser.

The tablet itself is two-layered. In the middle of the upper blue rectangle there is another small red capsule. They have no smell, the washed dishes also do not smell of anything, which I really like. Although I saw the same product in the supermarket, but with a lemon scent.

I like that Finish All-in-One capsules:

• provide high quality washing;
• prevent the formation of streaks and white marks on dishes;
• do not have an intrusive odor;
• convenient to use.

The tablets themselves dissolve completely. During the entire period of their use, there were only 2-3 situations when the capsule was not completely washed out of the dispenser. The only drawback for me is the relatively high price; a pack of 50 pieces costs about $9.

I’ve been using dishwasher tablets for a year now, and to be honest, it was Finish All-in-One that I tried first, and at first they seemed to me the height of perfection. If I had seen a negative review about them, I would not have believed it. But everything is learned by comparison.

These tablets are sold everywhere, so there are no difficulties in purchasing them. The first pack of 14 pieces cost me $2, but I think that’s a bit expensive for such a product.Now capsules can be purchased more profitably, especially if you monitor promotions in online stores.

The packaging indicates precautions and rules for using the tablets. The instructions are supplemented with pictures, so everything is clear. The capsules are loaded into the detergent dispenser; they cannot be placed in the dishwasher chamber.

I agree that the tablets do an excellent job of removing stains. But they have one very significant drawback for me - they scratch glassware a lot. In addition, having studied the composition, I found that the capsules contain bleach, that is, in fact, they are terribly “chemical”.

Today I switched from All-in-One tablets to Finish Quantum. I like these capsules better; I don’t notice any problems with scratching the glass. What appeals to me about Finish tablet products: high-quality cleaning, ease of use and storage, price if you buy on sale.
