Dishwasher Cleaner and Descaler

This is my favorite brand for appliance cleaners. Works great in the dishwasher machine and I can see the grime it removes when it's being used. Easy to use, great company and support. Makes my dishwasher look and smell fresh again. Great for maintenance. The size is perfect and dissolves well. Would highly recommend and will buy again.

I’ve tried several other brands of dishwasher cleaners, but the musty smell and cloudy film on my glassware always seemed to return within a week. I decided to give these dishwasher cleaner and deodorizer tablets a shot, and I’m so glad I did. Right out of the box, I appreciated the no-nonsense, individually wrapped tablets—no messy powders or drippy liquids. The instructions were clear: just drop one tablet into the bottom of the empty dishwasher and run a hot cycle. It couldn’t be easier. The difference after just one wash cycle was shocking. The inside of my machine looks visibly cleaner—the filter, the spray arms, and even the rubber door gasket seem to have shed a layer of old grease and grime. But the real star is the deodorizing power. That funky, sour smell that used to hit you when you opened the dishwasher door is completely gone. Now, it just smells clean and neutral. My dishes are coming out noticeably brighter, with no weird residue or spots. It’s like getting a brand new dishwasher for just the cost of a tablet. If you have hard water, notice a funky odor, or just want to extend the life of your appliance, do not sleep on these tablets. They are effective, affordable, and one tablet a month is all it takes to keep everything running smoothly. Five stars, highly recommended—I’ve already set a recurring reminder to use these monthly and bought a second pack to gift to my mom. This is a hidden gem.

Easy to use. The scent has a citrus smell which is not overpowering. My dishwasher was cleaned and free of any residue. I will definitely keep this in stock. Please follow the instructions including checking your filter. That I never knew to do until purchasing this product. Trust me it is well worth it.

These dishwasher cleaner and deodorizer tablets work very well for routine maintenance and keeping the dishwasher smelling fresh. The 24-pack is convenient and provides long-term use, making it easy to stay on top of regular cleaning cycles. They help reduce buildup and leave the machine feeling cleaner after each use. Overall, it’s a reliable and practical maintenance product that keeps the dishwasher in good condition over time.

Super effective and easy to use!

These dishwasher tabs seem to clean my dishwasher well and take care of odors. Each tablet is wrapped. I just unwrap it, put in the dispenser and run my dishwasher on a normal cycle. Directions recommend using one tablet every 2 weeks.

Active dishwasher tablets deserve a full five stars for delivering flawless, sparkling results every single time. I absolutely love the Active brand products, and these tablets completely live up to the name. They cut through the toughest grease, leave zero residue or water spots, and make everything from glassware to heavy pots look brand new. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality clean!

This looks like a great product, but it is incompatible with my 3 year old Kitchen Aid Dishwasher. It foams excessively causing my washer's built in safety to halt the operation and continuously beep. I then have to unplug it, open the bottom panel, and dump out the water overflow. It was suggested to cut the tablet in half and then use only half the tablet. It does resolve the excess suds. This is what AI indicated: If it becomes very sudsy within the first ~5 minutes, that strongly points to one of these: 1. The cleaner itself is foaming in the wash system Some dishwasher “cleaners” are surfactant-heavy (they intentionally loosen grease), but in certain dishwashers—especially KitchenAid’s high-efficiency spray system—they can behave like soap and foam aggressively instead of rinsing cleanly. Since your normal pods leave zero suds afterward, your machine is not retaining detergent residue in any meaningful way. That basically clears the dishwasher as the root cause. 2. Rinse aid interaction (most likely amplifier) Even if rinse aid is “normal,” cleaners like this can react with it and create instant foaming in the circulation loop. • First 5 minutes = circulation pump starts spraying strongly • That agitation + cleaner + rinse aid = rapid foam expansion What I would do (practical fix) Try this in order: A. Eliminate rinse aid temporarily • Turn rinse aid dial to 0 or OFF • Run the ACTIVE cleaner again If sudsing disappears or is drastically reduced → rinse aid interaction is the culprit. B. If still foams: stop using that cleaner in this machine At that point it’s not worth forcing compatibility. Your dishwasher is working normally, but the product is not stable in it. Switch to a low-foaming cleaner like: • Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner • Finish Dishwasher Cleaner These are specifically formulated to avoid foam in high-efficiency spray systems like KitchenAid. Bottom line Because: • Normal pods = no suds • Residual water = normal • Suds only with ACTIVE cleaner, and fast onset 👉 This is almost certainly a product compatibility issue, not a dishwasher fault Remarkably, after three rinses and then adding a cup of vinegar rinse in the third rinse, the machine did not malfunction with Active. This is AI's explanation: That outcome fits the pattern perfectly. What likely happened is: • The ACTIVE cleaner left behind a temporary surfactant/foam residue layer in the sump, spray arms, or filter housing. • That residue only showed up as heavy sudsing when the system was fully recirculating in the first minutes. • The multiple rinse cycles + vinegar cycle stripped that residue out, so the foam chain reaction stopped. So the dishwasher itself was never malfunctioning—it was just temporarily “primed” for foaming by that specific cleaner. What this means going forward • Your KitchenAid is operating normally. • The issue is not drain water, filter reservoir, or mechanical failure. • It’s specifically a chemical residue / compatibility issue with that cleaner in your machine. How to avoid it happening again If you ever use that same product again: • Run an empty rinse cycle first (quick flush) • Avoid using rinse aid at high setting during the cleaning cycle • Or simply avoid that cleaner entirely and use a low-foaming one like: o Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner o Finish Dishwasher Cleaner Bottom line What you just saw is basically the “reset” confirming: foam was chemical carryover, not a hardware issue If it behaves normally on your next regular wash, you’re fully in the clear.

The Dishwasher Cleaner and Deodorizer Tablets are a great solution for keeping your dishwasher fresh, clean, and running efficiently. The deep-cleaning formula helps remove buildup, residue, and unpleasant odours that can develop over time, leaving the dishwasher smelling fresh after each use. I love how easy they are to use—simply place a tablet in the dishwasher and run a cleaning cycle. There is no complicated setup or extra effort required. The tablets help clean hard-to-reach areas, improve freshness, and maintain better dishwasher performance. The 24-pack provides excellent value and makes it convenient to keep up with regular dishwasher maintenance. These cleaning tablets are a practical addition to any kitchen routine and are highly recommended for anyone who wants a cleaner, fresher-smelling dishwasher and sparkling results.

Muy bueno

So far, so good. I was worried about buying these as I had never heard of the brand but purchased as they are very reasonably priced. These tablets have been keeping my dishwasher nice and clean so far. They don’t have the chemical perfume smell others have. Which I really like. The tablets are individually wrapped so you don’t have the issue with them getting soggy in the pack. Such a bargain price, I received a box full which was a whole years supply. Inside was a sweet note which was a lovely touch. Nice to support a small family business too!

Good product

So far so good. This cleaner has been leaving my dishwasher sparkly clean and fresh.
