Hi there. I used this once and the dishes came out clean! The second time I used it, there was a white residue all over the place. Help!

Try cleaning your empty dishwasher with a cup or two of vinegar. Then try again. Perhaps you used too much?

I have been using Bubble Bandit for months now and have not had that problem. Make sure you do not use more than one scoop of the powder. Also, make sure you do not have any tall items in your dishwasher blocking the rotating spraying arm from circulating while it rinses the dishes. I would suggest trying another load of dishes. Do not give up. Bubble Bandit is a great product! I even use it on clothing and upholstery for stubborn stains. Of course, always check a small corner of the fabric with a Bubble Bandit solution (mixed with water) to make sure colors will not weep.

I have used it with a booster only. I ended up not finishing the bag because I found Finish Quantam worked better. I use this with a booster also. We have horrible hard water and the Finish Quantam works BEST!

I've used the Bubble Bandit several times. The first time the results were poor, but I did not give up. I tried changing the amount a few times, but I did not see a significant improvement. After about 8 times, I felt the results on most items was good to very good (not perfect/excellent). The poorest results were with drinking glasses (with real glass, not plastic). It seems like a spot or two (about 1/4" in diameter) always shows up when the glasses are completely dry. I've decided to live with this.

I have been using it for a year and never had that problem. Try waking them again and see what happens. Don't use too much. I use 1 scoop on a full load. love this product. Oklahoma.

I've never tried the dishwasher, honestly I only rinse it out, as I typically only use it for water. If I do use it for soda or something else I swish hot water and detergent. Never a problem with residue or odor in the time I've had mine (6 months)

A little bit of dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water works well. One of our cleaners used scrubbing bubbles and it ruined the surface of the one we had.

Every so often I let it soak for half an hour with water and a splash of bleach. Then I wash as usual with dishwasher. I hope that this advice will be useful as well remove any germs or bacteria housed in our base plate.

I've seen this on mine (over a year old) when I use a typical glass cleaner - I believe the cleaner residue is the issue.I generally clean and then finish with simple vinegar/water solution to remove the residue every few months.

I personally have not had any issue of residue on mine, so not really sure what to advise you except maybe try vinegar/water solution and wipe it down. Good luck and maybe another member can help.

I have not have that problem (yet). We normally leave it with some water in it (probably a bad habit) but we normally use it on a daily basis and we do replace the water before boiling it. When we are away for a few days we empty it and dry it by hand just in case. I had the problem you mentioned (white spots, not rust) with my previous one.

I he the same time. I'm using the second one I purchased and I'm making sure I clean it right away. The first one I soaked in hot water. I think it is more a stain then not being clean.

No, I haven't noticed sand in the dishwasher since starting to use Finish Power Up ... if it is the rinse aid ... could it possible be all the grunge off the glasses? I didn't notice any sand when the white residue was removed when I used Finish Power up. If you live in a desert type environment and the wind blows could the sand have gotten in that way? Hope this helps.

I have never had any crystallization occur on my dishes. It may be the mineral content in your water or your dishwasher may not be draining properly. If properly rinsed, there should be no trace of the dish washing tablets left on the dishes. All dishwashers should be cleaned regularly. There are several products readily available in supermarkets. Also, make sure that your rinse agent (jetdry, etc.) container is full.

I put mine in the dishwasher all the time and have never had a residue. They can also be hand washed with dish soap and water. I wonder if your water needs softening? That might explain the chalky residue.

Whereas I've used this product many times in my dishwasher, I've never used two at the same time . I think if you're dealing with extra thick build up, I'd first try to see if I could try removing some of the build up first by hand scrubbing your dishwasher first . If you decide to go with two, then id make sure to rinse it a couple of more extra times before loading it with dishes again. There is also a phone number on the bottle where you can call for advice. Hope this helps a bit .

It will get stained, no way around it. I just use dish soap and the same scrubber I use on the dishes.

Did this happen after using glisten? If so that would be odd. If not, probably hard water, run glisten through the cycle, make sure the water in the dw is hot, then try a load of dishes. you should see improvement. I keep Jet dry in my dw too because I also have hard water, but haven't had the problem of white surface on my plates or glasses since I used glisten. I run this through my dw once a month.

The first time I tried it I poked a hole in the wax. All the solution came out during the cycle, but I didn't notice any improvement. The second time I tried it, I left it alone and the wax didn't melt for me, either, even though I made sure very hot water started the cycle. I'm not a fan of this product at all. After not getting any results, I ran a cycle with a small amount of bleach poured into the bottom of the dishwasher. Viola! Beautiful, sparkling clean dishwasher!

I have put into the dishwasher once without problems but cleaning with a plastic sourer is necessary and to do so with detergent completes the cleaning. I think the plate needs seasoning so I tend not to use a dishwasher.

This has not been an issue for me, sorry. But you might try a rinse aid in the cycle as well as regular soap; this makes a big difference in how clean the dishes are at the end of the cycle.
