Finish Hard Water Booster Powder, Lemon Sparkle, 14 Ounce

I am not one to write reviews but I had to. My mom is about to have a serious back surgery so I am stepping in to help my mom and dad get through the 6-8month recovery time. They have super hard water which drove me crazy growing up. I went over to help tidy up the house with the upcoming surgery and noticed their dishes have a film on them and their glasses looked cloudy. I researched online what this could be (since they just spent a lot of money on a full kitchen renovation with all brand new appliances including dishwasher). I found this product and for the cheap price figured why not try it? I kid you not the results are instantaneous! The glasses are less cloudy not 100 percent better but definitely can tell they will get there with another wash since their was so much build up. My parents were shocked, silverware is sparkling and even feels different, cutting boards that always were left an ugly yellowish color are sparkling white, and the most amazing transformation was these glasses they bought on a vacation together. They are silver fish scale looking glasses that were beautiful and they use them when making drinks for parties because of how beautiful they are. They lost their shine and weren’t sparkling like they were when they bought them. One wash and they are like looking in a mirror because how shiny they are. My mom almost cried! This review may seem dramatic but if you’ve lived with hard water as long as my parents you know the struggle. They spent a lot on this new dishwasher hoping it would help with the hard water issue and it hasn’t. The hard water was even ruining the new dishwasher. But with this product the inside of the dishwasher is even sparkling again and no longer has that horrible smell hard water leaves after just one time using this. Try it you will be amazed!!!

I'd been having problems with my 2-year-old dishwasher for weeks, likely related to extremely hard water (problems with softener salt delivery.) It wasn't cleaning well, would only run part of the cycle and then stop, even after the softener salt was restored. I tried running it with a bowl of vinegar several times, with no improvement. I tried running a couple of cycles with a dishwasher cleaning product I'd used before. While the inside of the dishwasher looked cleaner, the problems with stopping after running only part of the cycle continued. I was about to call a repair service when, in a last-ditch attempt, I remembered this product, which I'd seen recommended on a blog a couple of years back, and bought but never used. I added it to a load of dishes and crossed my fingers. The full cycle ran, for the first time in weeks. My dishes came out cleaner than I'd ever seen them. In fact, some old glassware that had developed a hard water film over the years came out almost clear. I've continued to add this to every load, and my dishwasher has continued to run problem-free. My guess is that the product has indeed done as it claims, and cleaned out all the internal parts. After several days using this product, the old cloudy glasses are indistinguishable from new ones. A plus is that I no longer need to add a separate liquid rinse aid, either. Much cheaper to buy this product for $6 or so than to pay hundreds of dollars for a repair bill! I'm using it in every load from now on.

Started using this product a year ago, maybe longer, because we have really bad Hard Water & dishes were coming out if dishwasher with spots, film residue, & streaks. I don’t have a separate soap dispenser to put this in; as my unit is several years old (uses the dial, & no electronics or display at all, lo).....so half of it just goes in the bottom of machine on the right side as the rest just gets sprinkled/thrown in the bottom of the dishwasher (have a spot in middle on bottom that’s is “like” a holder, w/ 3 “sides” & just put this Booster Powder there). I also After started using this product, I really could tell immediately that there was a difference in how items were coming out if dishwasher.....and it was for the BETTER. Was impressed & even did several tests to see if I was throwing money away. I’m not. I don’t use the “full amount” recommended; as I do a light/china (water miser setting on some machines) setting wash for my items. So, I measure out about a 1/8 cup of “Booster” (1/4 cup if machine FULL, or tad bit more if doing a heavy duty “pots & pans” mode) & start the machine. As with this product, I do use the other products by this a Brand (Finish Rinse Agent & the Finish Powerball Quantum Ultimate lemon scent detergent) in my dishwasher & I gotta tell ya....for me, I can literally SEE the difference when the heated drying cycle is done & start to empty the dishwasher. No more streaks, hard water spots, stains, etc.... AND the dishes/items are all 100% dry; so, no having to use a towel before putting in cupboard, not sure if this adds to that, but, I’m happy...imo Would highly recommend this to anyone with hard water, well water, or an older dishwasher that isn’t getting the stuff “spot or streak free” I side. So, for the price (how I use) & for the results I’m getting w/ using this Booster product...I’m very happy & will continue to keep buying & using. It really does make that “much” of a difference in my life, that I done have to worry about “the little things” like hard water spots/streaks (& that film ya feel at times) on my dishes. So good job, & a 2 thumbs up. Thanks & hope this helps someone out if on the fence of trying or not; cuz I’d say go for it, not like it’s hard to use one bit😉.

Too early to tell if this product makes a difference…

This was for use as a booster for our dishwasher as we are on well water which leaves shale on dishes over time. Works fantastic, great product!! No more crappy shake like film on our dishes 😁

I have been trying to find the perfect product to clean my dishes. Besides affresh, regular detergent just isnt enough. My hard water is ridiculously hard and every time I do a wash, the dishes come out white like in the picture I posted. Once I used the booster, the white residue came off. What a relief!

This product is amazing! It totally works with hard water. It's pricey but worth the money. Why is this product only for a limited time?

This is hands down the single best home maintenance product I have ever bought. We have some of the hardest water in Canada and this makes all dishes come out flawless. Worth every penny. (But I do wish it was cheaper).
