Finish Dual Action Dishwash...

Finish Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner Fresh Scent is an 8.45 fl oz (250 mL) monthly treatment that cleans the inside of your dishwasher, not your dishes, tackling built-up grease and limescale in one step. It comes as a Single, Pack of 3, or Pack of 6, shipped fast from New Jersey.

Finish Dual Action Fresh Scent: Grease and Limescale Cleaner for Your Dishwasher

  • Dual-action formula — targets both grease residue and limescale build-up inside the dishwasher in one treatment
  • Deep cleans hidden areas — works through pipes, filters, spray arms, and the drum where residue collects
  • Helps reduce odors — breaks down the grease and mineral buildup that can cause dishwasher smells
  • Fresh Scent fragrance — leaves the dishwasher interior smelling clean once the cycle finishes
  • One 8.45 fl oz (250 mL) bottle — a single full treatment per bottle, with no measuring required
  • Pack options — Single, Pack of 3, and Pack of 6 for stocking up on monthly treatments

How to Use

Remove the label and place the bottle upside down in the lower rack or cutlery basket of an empty dishwasher — no dishes or detergent loaded. Run a full-temperature wash cycle, at least 150 F (65 C). Use once a month for routine maintenance, and do not mix the treatment with other cleaning products in the same cycle. Store the unopened bottle at room temperature until you are ready to run it.

About Finish

Finish is a dishwasher care brand made by Reckitt, known for detergent tablets, rinse aids, and machine-cleaning treatments sold across grocery and household retailers. The Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner line addresses the two most common causes of a dishwasher losing performance — grease and limescale — in a single monthly treatment rather than the dishes themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Finish Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner actually clean?
It cleans the dishwasher machine itself rather than the dishes placed inside it. Run it empty, with no dishes or detergent loaded, and the dual-action formula works through the spray arms, filters, pipes, and drum to break down the grease and limescale that build up over months of normal washing. Use a separate Finish detergent for cleaning actual dishes.

How do I use Finish Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner Fresh Scent?
Remove the label, then place the bottle upside down in the lower rack or cutlery basket of an empty dishwasher. Run a full-temperature wash cycle of at least 150 F (65 C) with no dishes or detergent loaded. Use once a month for routine maintenance, and avoid mixing it with other cleaning products in the same run.

Is this the same as the Finish Dual Action Lemon Sparkle variant?
No. This bottle carries a Fresh Scent fragrance, while the sister product uses Lemon Sparkle. Both rely on the same dual-action formula that fights grease and limescale inside the dishwasher and are used the same way, so the difference between the two comes down to the scent left behind after each treatment.

What pack sizes are available for Finish Dual Action Fresh Scent?
It is sold as a Single 8.45 fl oz (250 mL) bottle, a Pack of 3, or a Pack of 6, with every bottle sized for one monthly treatment. A multi-pack keeps a treatment on hand for several months at a time, and each bottle in every pack size uses the identical dual-action formula and Fresh Scent fragrance.

A must to keep your dishwasher fresh and clean

Leaves my dishwasher absolutely, positively fresh and clean. Wish I'd found this sooner. It's on my Amazon auto-ship every month as a reminder to clean my machine.

Does get the smell out.

Follow the instructions and wash on heavy with hot water. It does indeed take that funky smell out of your dishwasher.

Have used these for awhile now

These wo r k great but you might need to use two in consecutive washes, if the buildup is heavier.

Works great!

Works great. We had a bunch of hardwater marks on the inside of the stainless steel diswasher. Ran a cycle with this....looks brand new again.

I use this religiously.

Since acquiring my new dishwasher, I have utilized these cleaning tablets approximately once a month, or occasionally every two months, depending on my memory's reliability during the specific period. I have owned this dishwasher for two years. Employing Finish dishwasher cleaner liquid has effectively eliminated any possibility of stains within the appliance, as well as preventing the formation of crystals caused by water and detergent interaction. The application process is straightforward: one removes the paper cover and inserts the tub onto one of the central posts. At times, inserting the tub can be more challenging than usual; this may be due to the wax being particularly hard during those instances. In such cases, a moderate amount of force may be required. Aside from this, the insertion process is generally simple. Subsequently, operate the dishwasher on a hot, heavy cycle or a pots and pans cycle—whichever setting provides the longest wash duration—to ensure thorough cleaning.

Easy to use and works well to freshen the dishwasher

We have an older Kenmore dishwasher with a stainless steel tub and it's served us well for more than 15 years but it's days are probably numbered as it doesn't seem to clean as well as it used to. In any case, it sometimes gets smelly inside, particularly after washing oily/fat soiled dining ware.Every few months I run one of these cleaners through it and it does an amazing job of deodorizing and restoring the clean finish of stainless steel. Everything smells much better and the dishes seem to come out cleaner. There's also no residue left over from the cleaner.

The best

This did everything I hoped it would. It removed all the buildup. Made the inside look brand new all over again. My dishes are finally clear. Will be using this from now on.

No More Greasy Filters

Amazing! For over a year I have had issues with my dishwasher. Dishes not coming out clean, I have cleaned the filter several times and soaked it in vinegar but some grease wouldn't come out of it. After using this cleaner my filter grease all washed off. My dish washer looks new

Effective, inexpensive preventative maintenance

Dishwasher was leaving water in the bottom at end of cycle. We had a check valve that was getting gummed up in the past the required removing the unit, unplugging drain to get into and clean. Running this allowed the check valve to clear. Always keep one on hand now.

Will use again!

Will be using again! This is the 3rd dishwasher cleaner that I’ve used over the past year and it left my dishwasher looking better and smelling fresher. After the next 2 days loads I could still smell the fresh scent.My only issue was after removing it I noticed it had dripped some extra cleaner so it required a rinse cycle after.

Fixed smelly dishwasher

I use this product once a month to clean my dishwasher and prevent odor due to leftover food residue/grease when I start the dishwasher. Cleans dishwasher with just one cycle and removes greasy, gunky buildup. No more odor when I start the cycle.

This was a revelation and a total success!

I live alone and I have an old dishwasher that only use maybe once a week and it's always done a great job but I cannot believe the difference this product made! First of all the inside is sparkling and you know how sometimes plastic bowls on the top get turned upside down and filled with water during the cycle? Well in my dishwasher the water that would fill those bowls would be cloudy or greasy kind of and this product took care of that completely so now when I clean my Country Crock margarine plastic bowls and such and one of them gets flipped over and filled with water I can just pour it out and dry it without feel I'm going to get myself a bowl if I don't wash it. This is the product I didn't even know I needed and I'm pretty sure you're probably feel the same.

Worth it

These are life savers, it’s so easy to use. You take the little tab off, stick in upside down turn the cycle in and just throw it away once done. It always cleans it super well, definitely worth the $$.

Great for regular cleaning of dishwasher.

I use this about once a month and it really works. Inside stainless steel looks a little brighter and it smells clean. Easy to use. I accidently left a scrub brush in with it and the white bristles turned permanently blue, so make sure you use the cleaner without dishes.

Obsessed! My dishwasher finally smells fresh and looks brand new

​I am honestly obsessed with this specific dishwasher cleaner. I've purchased the product in the store many times over, but appreciate this four pack. I have been using it twice a month because I just love the results so buying the four pack just makes sense! (Plus the price is great)The first thing you’ll notice is the scent. It leaves my dishwasher smelling incredibly clean, and the best part is that the clean smell actually lasts for a few days. The quality of the clean is top-tier; I have a full stainless steel interior and it comes out sparkling and completely spot-free every single time even with our incredibly hard water.I've never had an issue with the container not opening during the clean cycle and it's always empty when it's done!In terms of performance, it really delivers. My dishes have been coming out spotless, which I attribute to this and the other finish products I use. One thing I’ve noticed is that while I always clean the filter before using this, the filter itself doesn’t get as much of that gross, scummy buildup like it used to. It feels like it’s actually helping maintain the machine, not just cleaning it.For the price, this 4-pack is a fantastic value for your money. It’s such an easy to use way to keep everything clean and running right. If you want your kitchen to smell SO fresh and your dishwasher to look brand new, this is it!!

The most Awesome cleaner ever!!

Well, my family has been having issues with our clean dishes smelling even after being washed in the dish washer. I likened the smell to wet dog. It was not pleasant. And we kept worrying about what bacteria we might be ingesting. Our landlord suggested this product, he says he uses it himself. And he says just needs one use and everything will be alright. Boy! He was right! One use and the smell completely gone. Dishes and the inside of the dishwasher looked so clean and smelled so great! My son said the product was made by the company that makes Mr. Clean. However, I didn't check the bottle before it went out to the garbage/recycle. But if that is true...then the quality of their product has me sold forever. Easy to use and very effective.
