These ‘Miraculous’ Dishwasher Tablets Break Down All The Gunk You Didn’t Know Was There

You don’t always think about cleaning your cleaning machines, but if you’re noticing funky smells and extra stains when putting away your dishes, it may be time to grab a set of Active dishwasher cleaning tablets — especially while a 1 year supply is on sale for 15% off.

Compatible with most residential and commercial automatic dishwashers, this set gives you 24 compact cleaning pods to last a whole year. Made with citric acid, the pods remove stains and buildup from hard water, lime, scale, grease and grime. They descale your machine, preventing clogged jets and tubes and ensuring it smells lemony fresh, all without messy liquids or scrubbing. “Finally, my dishwasher no longer smells like a garbage disposal,” one reviewer said.

“The convenience of these tablets is unmatched,” one reviewer said. “... Effortless cleaning and deodorizing in one easy step.”

Whether you’re trying to nix a current smell or want to ensure routine maintenance, the Active pods help remove gunk and grossness from your machine.

One reviewer says, “From the first cleaning cycle, I noticed a huge difference — old food particles, soap buildup, and hidden grease that had been lingering inside the machine disappeared. ”

Reviewers say they help the machine itself look brand new, but also give noticeably cleaner results on your dinnerware. They call these small packs “miraculous” and a “must buy” that gives “unbelievable results.”

“I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first, but after reading a few reviews, I decided to give this product a try...” one particular reviewer said. “To say I was impressed is an understatement! Not only did the cloudy glasses become transparent as new, but the silverware sparkled like new.”

The brand recommends using one or two treatment tabs a month. Simply empty your machine, put the tablet in the soap dispenser and run a self-cleaning or regular dishwashing cycle.

“The other good thing is that it is septic tank safe,” one user said. “You don’t want to be putting harsh chemicals into the septic tank that might sterilize it, that would be a bad day!”

“I noticed a significant improvement in the performance of my dishwasher after just one use,” says another. “Dishes came out cleaner and shinier than ever before!”

Get your dishwasher into tip top shape with these cleaning tabs. Grab a pack of these Active tablets while they’re still on sale.

“From the first cleaning cycle, I noticed a huge difference — old food particles, soap buildup, and hidden grease that had been lingering inside the machine disappeared. After using one of these tablets, the dishwasher looked cleaner inside and smelled so much fresher. It’s amazing how much gunk these tablets lift away that you don’t even realize is there!
I love that these tablets are easy to use — just place one tablet in the bottom of the dishwasher and run a normal cleaning cycle. They dissolve completely and work deep inside the machine to break down buildup, odors, and hard water residue.
The deodorizing action is especially great. I used to notice musty or lingering food smells between loads, but that’s totally gone now. My dishwasher smells clean and neutral after every clean cycle.” — Aliza

“All of the products from this company were top notch! I was also impressed that this company sent a thank you with each product for supporting their small family family business and for helping to keep them afloat. Of course the thank you notes were preprinted but I felt that they were genuine. I gave the dishwasher cleaner and washing machine cleaner to my son & daughter in law whose washing machine and dishwasher do multiple loads a day & have had problems with both. No problems since using these products! My husband is so happy that he hasn’t had to run to their house to unclog their machines since using these products!” — Deborah McHugh

“So I had bought quite a few different brands and they all said that they could make it smell better, etc. My dishwasher is like my world. I am a mother of six kids. Teenagers and if you know anything about children, you know that they like to take a sip out of one cup throw it in the sink and grab another cup. The amount of dishes I do is insane my dishwasher from asking the kids to load it was gross. I tried so many different at home remedies vinegar, etc. just didn’t work. I bought these because they were the marginal price. I figured what’s the worst that’s gonna happen as I did the first one. I noticed an instant improvement I took out all the racks and pieces rinsed them, washed them put them back in and ran one more tablet through and finally my dishwasher no longer smells like a garbage disposal. The tablets are small, but they are definitely mighty. I definitely recommend this to anyone that is struggling with a smelly dishwasher. We also have extremely hard water up here. I never really noticed any buildup prior, but I can tell you that there’s none now.” —Kelly

“They seem to do a great job. There was some residue left in the dishwasher after using the tablet that I just wiped up with a paper towel. Honestly, I didn’t think there was anything to clean before. Seeing what the tablets released made me decide I needed them more than I thought.” — Cliff
