Your Dishes Are Going to Sparkle!
March 30, 2009 by Caryn
This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winners are: Treasia, Michelle, Jesslyn, Theresa C, and Sara E. Congrats!
Every spring I try to take inventory of what needs to be cleaned and organized. But do you ever stop to think about the “daily clean?” Dishes and laundry fall into that category for me. We purchased a new dishwasher a few months ago and up until about a week ago, we hadn’t found a detergent and drying agent that we were satisfied with. We were using a generic-brand, eco-friendly detergent that left this white residue. The drying agent we were using left spots that drove my husband crazy. And while it was labeled as “eco-friendly” it just didn’t get my dishes as clean as I would have liked.
I recently tried out two fabulous dishwashing products from Finish (formerly Electrasol) that you’re absolutely going to love. When I load my dishwasher, I don’t want to have to “clean” them, before they get “cleaned” in the dishwasher. I want to be able to rinse, load, and let the dishwasher and detergent do their job. When I take my dishes out, I want them to look and smell clean (sparkling is good too!). I don’t want white residues or spots…just clean dishes. I’ve tried the gels and powders and tablets and I haven’t found anything that really works well consistently until I tried Finish Quantum capsules. Here is a little more information from the site:
FINISH QUANTUM has a revolutionary multi-chamber technology with powerful enzymes to remove stuck-on food, POWERMAX bleach to attack tough stains, and JET-DRY gel for an amazing shine.
This little capsule is fabulous! All three components are packaged into one, pre-measured capsule, which means there is no measuring or mess. You simply pop it into the chamber and run the dishwasher like normal. I have pots with white soapy residues that I have not been able to remove. I used this several times over the last week and I am so impressed with how shiny those pots are. My glasses don’t have spots on them, my coffee cups don’t have brown coffee/tea stains on them, and when I take my dishes out….they’re DRY thanks to Finish’s Jet-Dry Turbo Dry that I used with the Quantum capsules. Here is a little more information about Jet-Dry Turbo Dry from the site:FINISH JET-DRY TURBO DRY is a type of dishwasher additive—a Drying Agent—that is specifically engineered to give you Cabinet-dry cutlery, glasses and plastics right out of the dishwasher.
All I did was fill the dispenser that’s designed for rinse agents with Jet-Dry Turbo Dry and let it do it’s magic. Jet-Dry Turbo Dry is automatically released in the rinse cycle every time the dishwasher runs, which means one less step for me! I think the combination of Finish Quantum and Finish Jet-Dry Turbo Dry worked really well to get my dishes sparkling clean and dry without residues or spots. Finish Quantum is available in 12, 20, and 36 count sizes (a twelve-pack retails for $4.99). Finish Jet-Dry Turbo Dry is available in 6.76oz ($5.49) and 13oz size bottles.
Be sure to enter the Everyday Perfection Sweepstakes every day when you visit the site. Prizes include beautiful diamond jewelry, a New KitchenAid® Superba® EQ Series dishwasher, and One (1) year supply of FINISH QUANTUM and FINISH JET-DRY Turbo Dry.

With FINISH®, not only do you get sparkling results, you’re also helping the environment. A recent study found that dishwashers use less water and energy than washing up by hand while having better cleaning and more hygienic results.

I think I must have tried the same eco friendly dishwasher detergent that you did. That residue was AWFUL. Like a white powder all over supposedly clean dishes. Now can that be GOOD for you? I want to try the new Finish. I want CLEAN dishes that look CLEAN!
I like that they are green friendly!!!!
I’d like to try the Finish All in 1 Gelpacs.
Available at your local store in 20, 32 and 60 count sizes, in Orange and Fresh scents.
These sound fabulous and I love your review! I know exactly what you mean about that soapy residue left on some of our dishes and I love how easy these little capsules sound – awesome!
I went to the “Flawless Results” section of the website and took a look around and learned that Finish is the #1 recommended brand by more dishwasher brands. When other manufacturers are recommending this product for use in their machines, then you know it must be good!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Finish also has a specialty product called Dishwasher Cleaner that intensively cleans™ your dishwasher. I believe my dishwasher could use a dose of that too.
They have a Carbon 20 program “green units”

I’m always getting spots on my glasses I bet this stuff would take care of this loveto try it thanks.
We’re on our thrid dishwasher and I have yet to see any “sparking” dishes! Sooo – I’m beginning to think it’s not the machine, it’s the detergent and rinse products that we are using!
We would love to try these very promising and eco-friendly products!
The are the best of the best in dishwashing.
The capsules contain enzymes that help to get off dried food. Thanks for the chance!
The Trees for Change project they’re doing looks interesting – planting trees…

I’m glad to know about the name change. I always used and loved Electrosol tablets, so now I know to look for Finish tablets instead. Also, from the web site, found out they are planting two million trees through the “Trees for Change” project. That’s great!
