Description of Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner
From the makers of Plink, regular use of Glisten is recommended for a cleaner dishwasher. It works hard to remove built-up soap scum, food stains and discoloration from iron and other water impurities. Simply pour the package contents into the soap well of an empty dishwasher, sprinkling the excess into the bottom of the dishwasher. Then run a light or regular wash cycle (run with no dishes) for cleaning. For heavily stained dishwashers, a second application may be necessary. In some hard water areas surfaces may need to be wiped with clean wet cloth right after using Glisten.Tools and Hardware Reviews of Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner
Customer Review: This Stuff Is Truly Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I need to explain, I am a guy and I do not have much to do with using our dishwasher. We purchased our dishwasher roughly 9 years ago and we have never done anything to clean the inside of the machine. It has a stainless steel interior and I guess I never thought that this type of interior would need cleaning. After all, the dishwasher splashes around extremely hot, soapy water, so it stood to reason (in my own mind anyway) that the dishwasher pretty much cleaned itself. Well my wife came to me about 2 weeks ago and told me that we might need to replace the dish racks in our dishwasher due to the dark stains that had nearly covered the entire surface of both racks and the silverware baskets. When I looked I also noticed a film that covered most of the bottom and sides of the stainless interior as well. I couldn't believe how nasty the inside of our dishwasher looked.
We tried running vinegar through the machine but it barely touched the stains. Some friends stated that we should try bleach, toilet bowl cleaner or even some Muriatic acid, but my wife didn't want to introduce anything that could be harmful to our family or our dishes. Therefore I struck out to research some alternative cleaners on the Internet. This is how I found the Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner. In fact, I found it right here on Amazon.com, and for a great price. Since the product description stated that a deeply stained dishwasher may require two treatments, I purchased two boxes of the Glisten Cleaner.
Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner is manufactured by Phelps Industries, LLC. The product claims to remove built-up soap scum, food stains and discoloration due to iron and other water impurities. They recommend using the product monthly for best results. Well we went for 9 years without using anything, so I figured that if it worked this time then I would probably use it about once per year, or whenever the interior of the dishwasher started to look stained again. The directions instruct you to pour the 3oz powdered contents into the main wash soap dispenser in the dishwasher. You are to pour any excess powder into the bottom of the dishwasher. You then run the dishwasher through a light or regular wash cycle, and you are promised a "sparkling clean" machine. It then goes on to say that for heavily stained dishwashers, a second application of Glisten may be necessary.
I followed the directions and ran our dishwasher on a short wash cycle and waited eagerly for it to finish. My wife and I opened the machine and peeked inside. What we saw completely blew us away. The interior looked like that of a brand new dishwasher! I am not exaggerating one bit. The stainless steel interior was spotless and shiny again, and the dish racks and silverware baskets were bright white. I couldn't believe my eyes. We have looked at the inside of the machine at least a half dozen times tonight, as we just can't get over how bright and shiny the inside of our dishwasher looks. Another perk is that the interior of the machine has a clean lemon scent as well. To think that a product that costs under $5 could make a $900 dishwasher look like new again is simply amazing. We have tucked our second box of Glisten safely away for use in the future. I now feel confident that any time our dishwasher begins to look dingy we can just run 3oz of this product through the machine for a like new finish again. Hats off to Phelps Industries and their brilliant Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner. I can't express enough how much I recommend this product to anyone with a dishwasher.
On another note, the manufacturer also claims that this product can be used to whiten dingy diapers, brighten socks and under garments (and most other whites), and can even be used to clean stains and hard water deposits (including iron) in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. It even claims to remove stains from dishes. Please note that I have not tested any of these claims. It is advertised as a dishwasher cleaner and I purchased it for just that reason.
