I Can’t Get the Chemical Smell of Finish Machine Cleaner Out of My Dishwasher

May 9, 2025 3:26 AM85

I used the Finish machine cleaner in my dishwasher, and I’ve regretted it ever since. The chemical odor it left behind is overwhelming and refuses to go away, no matter what I do. I’ve run the dishwasher empty multiple times, but even after two weeks, the harsh smell is still there.

Now, every time I do a load of dishes, I’m left wondering if there are chemical residues left behind on plates and glasses. I’m genuinely worried about my family’s health. I used this product to clean my machine—not to turn it into a source of contamination.

Reading other reviews only made my concern worse. It seems like I’m not the only one facing this issue, and that makes me question how this product is still on the market.

Finish, I need answers. How is this problem going to be resolved? What do you recommend to completely eliminate the odor and ensure the machine is safe for use again? I trusted your brand—but now I’m left with a dishwasher that smells like chemicals and a lot of doubt.

"I bought Finish Quantum Max dishwasher tablets as a behind-the-counter product from one of the chain stores 1 week ago. I used the product 2-3 times, and it caused my dishes to smell bad. It turns out I bought a defective product. The expiration date is written on the back of the package as 22.01.2024. How will my damage be compensated? I am awaiting your support on this matter."
