Something that has always puzzled me: Why do the manufacturers of 'Finish' etc feel that there is a need to manufacture a cleaning liquid for the purpose of cleaning the inside of a dishwasher. If dishwasher powder/tablets are so successful at cleaning food and grease off crockery and pans - why don't they keep the inside of the dishwasher clean at the same time?

Dunno but dishwashers do seem to clag up with crud very quickly and, yes, dishwasher cleaner does seem to get rid of it.
However, I have a theory that the real reason why dishwasher cleaner works is because it is used with the machine empty.
When the machine is full the plates deflect the water jets and hecne crud builds up. When the machine is empty the jets can blast all areas of the machine and thus wash the crud build up away.

Valid points!

and if Teflon is non-stick how does it stay on the pan ?
Finish dishwasher cleaner is expensive.
I use dishwasher cleaner tablets from Sainsburys. They do a good job.
It's surprising the difference that cleaning the dishwasher makes.
However, it's pointless just using tablets. It is also necessary to regularly clean the sive tray / filter in the bottom of the dishwasher.

But that would make their claims shameless hype, surely not . . .

I think they have a mild descaler as well.

It doesn't..
Then use Swedish cleaner.
For the same reason that a dog licks its bollocks.
Agreed - and also highly irritant if you get it on your skin!
Excellent - they still make them then - our store never seems to have the damn things - agree they do a great job!
Thanks for that! Cheers Dan.
That was quite good - maybe you should give up the day job.
And go property developing?
I've never cleaned mine (other than to chean the filters and around the door seals) Perhaps it dependes upon the water hardness.

Was this deliberate or were you asleep? ;-)
That's something you could try. Only thing is that I suppose you might find dealing with planning departments not to your liking?
Matt, I don't think I would.
Whoops - asleep and careless with the cutting.
"asleep and careless with the cutting" and "bollocks" is not a happy conjunction.
