I have a dishwasher. I HATE handwashing dihes, and dishwashers use less water than handwashing as well as kill more germs with the heat.Washing the dishes with the machine is simple. I scrape the plates (would have to if handwashing aswell), load in the machine, put my detergent in, and switch it on. Easy peasy and at the end I have gleaming plates, bowls, cups, glassware, cutlery, and pots and pans. But owning a thing means some care and mainteneace needs to be taken. In this case, the machine needs the filter degreased and any limescale that has made it past the salts removed. This not only prolongs the life of the machine, but helps it clean your dishes ...  Read the complete review

I'll be the first person to admit I'm not very domesticated. I loave cleaning and if there's anything I can do to make a chore easier then I'll do it, hence I own a dishwasher. A dishwasher is the best invention known to man, simply put your dirty plates, cups ect. into the machine, add a tablet and it's as simple as that. Sparkling, clean didhes in no time. When I first got my dishwasher I was very overwhelmed with all the products available, tablets, detergents, rinse aid, salt etc. I didn't expect it to be so complicated. And then I spotted Finish Powerball! Finish powerball is a dishwasher tablet that looks like it belongs in a space ...  Read the complete review

Dishwashers are very much a part of our busy lives. I have had a couple of different machines during the last 22 years, the first was bought when as a mother of 3 young children I was very ill and standing at the sink washing dishes was a exhausting. But, although some people say they would rather enjoy the companionship of doing the dishes together, actually it is far more hygienic to use a dishwasher than wash and dry dishes.  Fact. A used, damp tea towel can harbour up to 30,000,000,000,000 (30 trillion) colonies of bacteria - such is the rate at which bacteria multiply.  Fact. Dishwashers will reduce the spread of germs.

I have used Finish Dishwasher Cleaner each time my dishwasher needs cleaning simply because I know of no other on the market. It cleans the inside okay, but doesn't even begin to remove the limescale off of the element. I think for quite an expensive product it ought to do the job better. If the inside of your dishwasher needs cleaning then I would recommend this to you as it does do a good job but not for de-scaling our element. If anyone has any tips on descaling the element or knows of any product that does the job better I would be very grateful to know. ...  Read the complete review

Awesome Ali, I tried "Finish" and "Glisten" to clean my dishwasher. I had similar results (both cleaned well but it didn't descale my hard water build-up). I tried this brand because it claimed to desolve hard water build-up and I got GREAT results. It's called "Diskwasher Magic". I found their website to see if it is available in the UK. I'm not sure, but you can order from them.. http://www.magicbrands.com/dishwasher/index.asp (P.S. I don't have the minimum of 75 words to write... ) ...  Read the complete review
