Over the years, about every 4 months (give or take) I run citric acid through my empty dishwasher to clean it on the longest cycle and it does a great job. Not that it's dirty - but just more lime scale I guess you could call it.

But...I was out of citric acid so I bought Cascade dishwasher cleaner. Let me just say the smell was outrageously intense...so bad that I had to run another cycle just to try to get rid of the smell. On top of that, it didn't do a great job. Nothing compared to what citric acid does. I just felt like it didn't do anything other than leave a super strong chemical smell in the dishwasher. Back to citric acid for me.

I recently bought and used I think a Finish brand to clean my dishwasher after doing the thanksgiving dishes, and the smell of that lingered through at least one succeeding load, which I didn't mind as it did an exceptionally well cleaning my dishwasher...

Although I'm re-washing my small crockpot's stoneware again, as it didn't thoroughly clean out some remnants of a chicken casserole I'd recently made...

I wish I took pictures of me using my dishwasher cleaner now...

Mark,
I totally agree about the Cascade Cleaner. It stinks, think it smells like a nasty deodorant. Made the dishes smell!

P&G certainly likes their strong chemical scents.

Just used the Finish dishwasher cleaner in my KA dishwasher. This is the liquid cleaner in the plastic bottle not the tablets. Set the dishwasher to the "tough" soil level, heated wash and sanitize settings. The cleaner did an excellent job. Interior of dishwasher is sparkling clean. It left a mild chemical clean smell that I found not too strong or offensive. I've also used the Lemi-Shine powder dishwasher cleaner in the past and it also did an excellent job. The Lemi-Shine left a mild lemon scent so might be good for those folks that find the scent of other cleaners offensive.
