Finish 0% Tablets

Automatic dishwashing detergent is specially formulated to disperse food residue and greasy soiling, hold it in suspension, and remove it in the final rinse.

Dishwasher tablets contain surfactants, which affect the liquid they are added to, making it more efficient at picking up and removing debris. They also include enzymes (to break down starchy foods and protein), and safe bleaches.  

Once you’ve put your dishwasher tablet into the detergent dispenser compartment, your machine will release the contents at the optimal time allowing the tab to disintegrate into the water, release all ingredients and clean your dishes!

No need to! Pre-rinsing is a thing of the past. And although most Australians do it, it’s time consuming and wasteful. It can waste up to 65L of water per washload*.

Quality detergents like Finish® Quantum Ultimate Pro® contain both bleach and enzymes, so you don’t need to pre-rinse. Bleach fights tough stains like tea and coffee, and enzymes breakdown proteins and starches. All you have to do is scrape the larger pieces into the trash and load your dishwasher.

Your dishwashing detergent should be stored in a dry environment. If you are using powder, be careful to close the spout after each use to help keep the product dry (and to avoid spills!). Like all cleaning products, store your detergent out of the reach of children. 

Detergent tablets should always be placed in the detergent dispenser compartment.  If you’re placing the tablet at the bottom of the dishwasher it’s likely that it will dissolve too quickly, releasing the detergent during the prewash and leaving no detergent for the main wash cycle. This will reduce the efficiency of your wash. 

Whether you need to remove the plastic from your dishwasher tablet depends on the product you have bought. As a good rule of thumb, if the tablet comes individually wrapped then yes, you should remove the plastic wrap before using. If, however, the tablet is encased in a skin of thin, transparent plastic, this should not be removed and will dissolve itself safely during the washing process. Our dishwasher tablets are wrapper free. It is recommended that you do not pierce or attempt to unwrap the tablet, otherwise this will reduce the efficiency of your wash.

The standard shelf life of dishwasher tablets is two years but it’s best not to stockpile finish products in case the product and its packaging deteriorates over time.While using an out-of-date dishwasher tablet isn’t going to cause any damage to your kitchenware or dishwasher, it may be less effective than when used within the correct timeframe.
