My dishwasher base is stained red with tomato waste. The Maytag dishwasher suggests Cascade Plastic Booster plastic cleaning additive. Is this the same thing?

No,they're two different things. The Dawn Power Dissolver is made for baked on food/grease on pots, pans and dishes. If you're unable to find the suggested product, I would try a paste of baking soda and peroxide.
1472302
No, Dawn power dissolver is for grease, especially baked on greased, like when somebody bakes fries and doesn't line the pan. You spray it on your item and then don't let the item get wet and let it sit for awhile. Then the grease just washes right off. So, I'm not sure if it would work for your situation. Hope that helps.

No, its not the same thing. I would probably try it though. This product is meant for when food hardens on dishes you can just spray and wash. However I spray dishes and put in dishwasher (saves on water). I clean my glasstop stove along with off brand magic eraser and spray and wipe down stainless steel sink with this spray and magic eraser. I would try it on dishwasher though..spray let set 2 mins or more and then wipe off with magic eraser (off brand is fine)

As far as I know, the Dawn Power Dissolver is for removing cooked on food from pans. However, my mother-in-law sprays it on everything and is quite happy with it. It works great on hard-to-clean pans. I don't know how abrasive it is.
1472305
No it is not. This product is more for hand dishwashing and getting baked on items off.

Hi, I do not think Dawn will work on the dishwasher as it is plastic. The plastic booster Maytag suggests does work on plastic food saver dishes. You can try it but I would also consider a cleaner with a bleaching agent. It sounds as if the inside of the dishwasher has lost its resistance to food staining. If you are able to clean it, I would suggest sealing it with a countertop wax/sealer to protect the finish.
1472307
I don't believe it is the same. I have not used this on plastic. It works well to clean the bottom of pans and burnt on food

Dawn power dissolver is a stainless steel cleaner. I don't know how well cascade plastic booster cleaning additive will do in this respect honestly. I just don't know. If you're really stumped on how to best clean it. Call your most reputable plumber and ask them. I also might suggest however to try to clean any solid tomato waste the best you can and then get hydrogen peroxide to clean it since it would be super cheap and dissolve most solid junk leftover. If that doesn't work. You could try that rust & lime remover that Walgreens carries from that Tv infomercial too. Hope this helps.

My problem was white powdery substance on dishes, utensils, etc. Entire bottom, sides and back of dishwasher had white residue. Called appliance company and this product was recommended. Additionally, I was told to try liquid Cascade. This worked fabulously. The dishwasher and dishes are sparkling clean. I have not had a problem since using Glisten just one time. Long story short it cost $65.00 (no repairs needed) for this information. Hope this helps!

For my SS pans, I shake some baking soda onto the wet pan bottom. Put some soap on the wet dishcloth. Rub it out. Easy. Great technique for cleaning scum off outside of pans, glass casserole dishes, stainless sinks , plastic dishpans, and much more. Keep a shaker of baking soda near the sink!

I had some trouble in the beginning and wrote to the company. It was the dishwasher soap, don't use any lemon scented. I know use Cascade with Dawn and all is well.

#7 is polycarbonate and it leeches BPA into your water. It's a hormone disrupter. Not safe. Any luck in finding safe plastic for 5 gallon water jugs?

Hi Sue, I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I don't know if the brush is dishwasher-proof, however, if you've got nothing to lose then it's worth a try. I've had success getting rid of stains and odor on a silicone chopping board by using lemon juice (real lemons not bottled). Good luck in your venture.

I purchased the two 3 3/4 lb packs. I tossed the original box so I am not seeing the % of phosphates on the two inside packs. I see someone already suggested looking at their website www.bubblebandit.com. I also used a funnel and poured the bubblebandit into an old 1/4 filled Cascade or Finish box which makes it easier to pour into your dishwasher. Even if you only use this to prove you dont need a new dishwasher..it is worth it. A couple cycles and all the crud on the walls and floor of the dishwasher are gone. Its quite amazing.

I'm not quite sure either, but my best guess is that it accomodates the 3-in-1 cleaning packets that are sold. Like the cascade ones with the triple cleaning power. I looked through the manual for an answer and came up short, but I've been using that setting with the packets and everything works well...

On a newer dishwasher with hot water, the seals can eventually crack (hairline -- you can't really see it) and afterwards you will notice condensation inside after washing them. Only washing them on the top rack minimizes or avoids this -- but they don't get the visible, splintery-looking cracks that thinner clear plastic can develop. The good news is that you can send them back to Tervis for free replacements. We had some for years that were fine except for that issue. I sent those back they sent replacements. HOWEVER -- they now have noticeable white, cloudy haze. From their website: "After several states banned phosphates from dishwasher detergents in 2010 for environmental reasons, detergent manufacturers removed it from all of their products. Eliminating the phosphates that strip food and grease from dishes during the wash impacts all drinkware, including glassware and plastic drinkware like Tervis products. An extra hand rinse in warm soapy water will help remove the haze. If after you run your drinkware through the dishwasher, there is still residue or haze, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent. If haziness does not dissipate, try using a very small amount of baking soda and a soft, wet cloth." I'm still trying to figure out how to get that off; it seems like I've tried everything (vinegar, baking soda, oxiclean, bleach, magic erasers -- it's not budging, though I can scratch through it with a fingernail). They're about to go back to Tervis unless someone can tell me the secret formula on how to really get it off.

Goo Gone works well and should not harm the plastic. Sometimes, scrubbing with a Scotch Brite sponge, dish soap, and hot water will remove it.

No, but I use one anyway. I have used this product both with and without a rinse agent and see no difference. Cascade is top of the line when it comes to dishwasher detergents. In my opinion, it far surpasses any other product.

The dishwasher can get hot enough to affect the insulation property of the flask as well as discolor the powder coat. Wash your caps in the dishwasher: All Hydro Flask caps are top-rack dishwasher safe. The cap may last longer if it is hand washed, but if it needs to be deep cleaned, the dishwasher is acceptable. Wash your flask with a bottle brush: You can find a perfect bottle brush in the baby section of most grocery stores. Use the bottle brush as frequently as possible. Use white distilled vinegar for cleaning: You can use household white distilled vinegar to help remove any stains or discoloration on the inside of your flask. We recommend putting cup of vinegar in your flask, gently swirling the vinegar around to wash any affected areas and let sit for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and repeat if necessary. Use baking soda for cleaning: For those stubborn spots inside your Hydro Flask, mix 2-3 tablespoons of baking soda with a small amount of warm water to form a scrubbing paste. Dip the bristles of your bottle brush in the paste and work paste into affected area on the inside of your flask. Repeat as necessary until stain disappears.

I don't own a dishwasher. As a water softener?, I cant answer that. Google this question to see a dishwasher detergent recipe that some people are using. Sorry I wasn't much help.

It says "Trisodium Phosphate" which makes me believe there is phosphate in it. That is why I use only 1/4 teaspoon per dishwasher load which is far less than what Cascade once contained AND my dishes are once again clean when I remove them.

You can dish wash the black plastic. It cleans easily in the sink - the hopper should be cleaned in the sink only. Brian

Plastic. I guess this is the reason you shouldn't put it in the dishwasher, which is one negative about it; my house is old and the kitchen is not ultra modern with deep sinks and pullout spigots, so the container is too tall to set under the faucet and fill with water without causing back-flow into the line. I find the container hard to clean or soak. I had the 1980 vita mix that was smaller and metal container -- it went into the dishwasher fine; I wish they'd bring that back!

I have never used the Finish Jet Dry Dishwasher Cleaner but I think it removes buildup with the machine itself. The Finish Power Up Rinse Aid is an additive to the usual dish washing detergent to remove tough stains and fights tough spots and film due to hard water (in you residential area). In my experience, it helps with stains, but still leaves spots on glassware. I have taken to using plain baking soda, which I found to be cheaper and and more effective at cleaning dishes and keeping the dishwasher from buildup.
