Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner and Disinfectant, 12 fl oz, 1 Pack

Used this in my really old dishwasher because it had been developing an orange film on the bottom that's hard to clean off by hand, since kneeling down and reaching into the dishwasher to scrub it out is painful when you're an old person. The dishwasher doesn't have a filter so food residue and grease feeds the orange gunk. I placed this bottle of cleaner in the utensil rack of the empty dishwasher and before I started the dishwasher, I ran the hot water in the sink until it reached it's hottest temperature so that it would melt the wax plug in the bottle to release the cleaner and let it run through the longest cycle. (I never use the heated dry.) I was so happy when I opened the dishwasher after the cycle and found that the great majority of the orange area was clean. There was still a thin ring of orange around the edge of the area where there's water in the bottom (there's always some water in the bottom to prevent a seal down there from drying out and leaking), but I easily wiped that off with a throw away rag. This cleaner also removes hard water residue and coffee stains. The orange gunk takes a few months to return, so I plan to keep using this cleaner as needed to keep it away.

I used this because my dishwasher's water sprayer seemed clogged. I wasn't sure it would help, but it actually did. After running a cycle with the bottle, the sprayer worked better and the dishes came out cleaner. The lemon scent was light and fresh, and there wasn't any residue left behind. It's easy to use—just flip the bottle into the silverware basket and run the hottest cycle. I'll keep it on hand in case things start acting up again.
