Finish Powerball Ultimate Quantum: 90-Count Tabs with 2X Grease-Fighting Power
- New & Improved formula — an upgraded formula compared with the previous Finish Quantum generation
- 2X grease-fighting power — compared with Finish Classic tabs, according to the product packaging
- 24-hour dried-on and burnt-on stain removal — aims to handle food that has sat in the dishwasher for up to a day, without pre-rinsing
- Powerball core — the signature red ball at the center of each tab that activates during the cycle
- 90-count bulk box — two 45-count packs, sized for stocking up rather than reordering monthly
- Pre-measured single tab — one tab per load in the detergent dispenser, with no need to measure powder or gel
How to Use
Place one wrapped tab in the dishwasher's detergent dispenser and close it, then run the dishwasher as normal — the tab is designed for use without pre-rinsing dishes first, beyond scraping off large food pieces. Keep the dispenser dry before loading the tab, and avoid handling tabs with wet hands, since moisture can cause them to dissolve early. Store the box in a cool, dry place out of reach of children; the tabs are harmful if swallowed and can irritate eyes on contact.
About Finish Powerball
Finish is a dishwasher detergent brand made by Reckitt, and the Powerball design — a concentrated red core inside each tab — is one of the brand's best-known features across its detergent tab lineup. The Ultimate Quantum line sits at the higher end of that lineup, combining a multi-chamber tab with the Powerball core for pre-soak, wash, and rinse action in one tab per load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pre-rinse dishes before using Finish Ultimate Quantum tabs?
No pre-rinse is required beyond scraping off large pieces of food, since the formula is built to break down dried-on and burnt-on residue during the cycle itself. Pre-rinsing can actually work against the tab, because it removes the food particles that help activate cleaning enzymes, so scrape plates rather than rinsing them clean before loading.
How many tabs are in the 90-count Finish Ultimate Quantum box?
The box contains 90 tabs total, packaged as two separate 45-count bags inside one bulk box. That format is meant for stocking up so a household using one tab per load does not need to reorder for several months, rather than buying a smaller box more frequently.
Is Finish Ultimate Quantum safe for all dishwashers?
It is formulated to work in standard home dishwashers when placed in the main detergent dispenser compartment as instructed. Do not place a tab loose in the bottom of the tub instead of the dispenser, and keep tabs sealed and dry until use, since exposure to moisture can cause a tab to begin dissolving before the cycle starts.
What does the Powerball at the center of the tab do?
The Powerball is a concentrated core built into the center of the tab that activates once the tab breaks down during the wash cycle, delivering an added burst of cleaning power beyond the surrounding tab layers. It is a Finish-specific design used across several of the brand's higher-tier detergent tabs, including this Ultimate Quantum line.
