Would be interested in what the ingredients are in this.

But I'd caution you on trying new things without knowing the ingredients..it does say it sanitizes..perhaps chlorine?

Larsi. I'm sure you know this but if not.....DW detergent is not friendly for cookware. I've stopped putting it in the DW for 7-8 years now. I DO miss the easy peasy cleanliness and shine I get when I put them in the DW.

I do my my all SS pot lids/covers, or fully encapsulated cookware in them.

However, quite of my day2day daily pieces are cladded pans. Over time, if you pay attention to a cladded piece that has been put the DW, you can observe 2 things. If you run you finger along the edge, it will feel sharp. That is because the aluminum is gone between the SS sandwich layer.

Second, once you feel this, you can actually confirm it just by looking at the edge - which will be the tell-all-tale of the aluminum loss.

Just FWIW

Thanks a1an. I will take the time to hand wash my LeCreuset and Staub French enameled iron cookware, but I just cannot wash each stainless piece by hand. I mean, why have a dishwasher, if you have to hand wash everything?!

I know what you mean about the rough edge on cladded pans. It happened 2x to me....once with All Clad, once with Belgian Demeyere stainless. Both times I went back to Williams Sonoma and Sur la Table....and they gave me new pieces.

Both brands of cladded cookware do say 100% dishwasher safe, whereas LeCreuset and Staub say dishwasher acceptable, but hand washing preferred!

Yeah! Use that DW! It makes me crazy when people have a dishwasher and insist on handwashing everything anyway.

I more of less gave alot of my CI iron away. Kept a 9 qt dutch and another one 7 1/2 round. CI to me, was not consistent in temps. Fine for braises, or anything liquid or DEEP frying. Anything else, bleh.

SLT just came out with a new refinement of the Dem. Atlantis series with encapsulated sides on their skillets/sautes. I have the Atlantis skillets and 95% of the time, I'm reaching for my AC or Dem 5 plys, as the damm Atlantis series is just too damm heavy. BTW, now sure what Dem. pieces you own, but the silvinox interiors does add something magical on ease of cleanliness. I'm always amazed how much easier it is to clean vs. other brands....

But, for the usual areas on the handle/helper handle - high heat, etc - every couple of months, I will easy off, power dissolver soak, let it dwell overnight and clean.

Yeah, I'm handwashing most of my P/P and I hate every minute of it.

@mamapinky, The Sanitizer believe it or not could be Citrates or Synthetic Derriatives of Citric Acid. The EPA has licensed it for use a s a "sanitizer" for some company's. I just don't see how it'd be effective enough.

While I doubt, Larsi bought a full bottle of glorified Lemishine, I've seen a lot of products like it. I wonder what's in this one :)

@ Mitch....I do not know what is in this, but it is sold as a dishwasher detergent, dishwasher cleaner, sanitizer and glass refurbisher! Crazy!!!

EVERY piece in the dishwasher was spotless and gleaming and smooth and shiny and spotless and perfect!!!

Larsi, you're a bad influence on us all. Just ordered that and the washing machine cleaner from Walgreens for 3.50 a piece plus a 15% coupon....

I'm thinking this may be high priced citric acid and sea salt...but I can't seem to get an ingredient list.

I do not know Mama. If it is citric acid and sea salt....then those ingredients are magic on pots, pans, dishes, flatware, etc....

I have use it now 3x....FLAWLESS results!!!

Well Larsi, you convinced me. I just ordered some. Never heard of it and don't know what is in it but the reviews are great. I bet you convinced a bunch of us to try it! We're all sheep.

Very cool. When I first saw the title to this thread, I thought it said magical mystery tour, lol.

Sashanikki, maybe that's the secret ingredient! :-)

Hi I just wrote to the Kleenite folks for an ingredient list- (http://kleenmachine.info/contactus.html) will post when I hear back or if I do. I want to make sure it isn't too chemically oriented (I write that and I'm not even sure of what that means except I tend to use the tagged natural products) Like Mamapinky0- the word "sanitize" in the product description is what has me wondering about the formulation. I would spend more to get a non toxic formulation if needed. Thanks for all this info!

Thank you geeknee! Keep us posted.

Will do- I also just checked the prices on Amazon vs. Walgreens- and Walgreens (with the 15GOLD promo code) is WAY cheaper but now they are sold out of it online @larsi_gw, you started a run on the product! ;0

So its carbonate, oxygen bleach, baking soda, and citric acid, borax.

You could easily mix this up at home much much cheaper than buying it. The recipe is all over the web.

@Mamapinky0- is this safe to use in your opinion? I haven't researched the ingredients (but know they are found in things like OXYCLEAN and many other laundry and dish cleaning items) . If so, then I am inclined just to buy it for the pure ease of it all! Wonder how the ingredients compare to the SOMAT...

Ya its safe enough..but there's no enzymes and no bleach. However if it works...it works..no arguing with that.

I want to mention..I didn't think most dishwasher detergents had Borax. Am I wrong? I know its toxic in elevated amounts..think its around a teaspoon ingested...I do know of someone that adds a spoonful along with their D/W detergent but they do extra rinses..so check into Borax in the D/W.

Mama, the sodium borate is in the washing machine cleaner. There is no sodium borate listed in the dishwasher clnr/ detergent list.

LOL...my only excuse is I did not read.

But for those ing. It would take about 5 bucks to make a jar and another 5 minutes of time...these ingredients are not going to give the kind of clean you want.

I'm passing on ordering this its nothing more than a few ingredients you can buy anywhere for a few bucks but with a high price tag. Actually what is the difference between this and the Sun brand for a buck??

I have thought about this stuff today..it makes me mad that manufactures put stuff out there with a big price tag and it ends up being nothing at all special. just a few basic ingredients that could be found in most of our laundry rooms....I mean heck this stuff doesn't even have an enzyme. .which even the dollar store stuff has.

On the other hand if it works for you think of the money you could save just buying a box of Sun for a buck.

Are we sure this company sent a full ingredients list...

I can be of help if we start talking about car sealants/coatings/polishes but boy oh boy am I lost when it comes to all this laundry chemical talk...

FWIW, I've tried many. Imported a bit from overseas

My head got caught in phosphates versus non.

I only use 3 products and you can't pay me enough to try something else as nothing is worse than having a load of DW come out not clean....

Cascade Platinum for greasy/grimey loads.

Finish Quantum for glassware, lightly soiled items

Somat Powder for my PG DW that won't take a tablet.

Personally, soap for DW is def. on of those things on my list that you just can't skimp out on.

RATS! My order for this Kleenite product went through the other day, but today it was cancelled. I am so bummed. I think YOU GUYS BOUGHT IT ALL UP and I missed out!

Well, I'll try again later. I hope some of you who get it soon will report in on your results. I'll look forward to hearing how the rest of you like it.

I found a recipe using the same ingredients as the Kleenite...easy and cheap.

1&1/2 cups Washing Soda

1&1/2 cups Citric Acid

1/2 Cup Baking Soda

1 Tablespoon Sodium percarbonate

Mix all together and store in airtight container.

This will be extremely cheap to make and is the exact ingredients as the Kleenite. For those of you that are having good luck with the Kleenite I'd recommend you take 5 minutes and mix your own. There are a lot of people online having good luck with this.

I just think Kleenite should be ashamed of themselves for the price they are charging for this.

@larsi, are you still having good luck with this on dishes, etc. or is it best as a machine cleaner? At 3.50, seems like a good alternative to making your own, if it works over the long haul.

Any updates Larsi? Or any reviews from others on using this dishwasher product? I am very curious, but have not been able to get any yet.

I have used it many times now, and have yet to be disappointed! Everything comes out perfect. Of course it is a little $ for the size of the bottle, so not sure if I will repurchase.....but I'm very happy I bought it!!!

Mama - take out the baking soda, keep the citric acid at 1/4 vs the washing soda and sodium percarbonate. 1/1 and they neutralize each other and you basically are left with salts. 1/4 you get sodium citrate. Baking soda leaves bicarb film in most water. Borax is in many cosmetics, much skin care and processed foods as a preservative. It's fine in the dw but would buffer the ph.

Thanks Sandy..I'm not making it. I was posting a online recipe using the same ingredients in the Kleenite.

Thanks Larsi! I'll get some to try when I can.

I recently tried this in my DW and really liked it. I usually use Lemishine but this seemed to do a much better job. I grabbed a 3 pack on sale at Costco this week.

@livebetter....this finish dishwasher cleaner is my favourite, and I have used it for years and years (the bottle used to be thick and squarish). This works as well, or better than Kleenite, but both are excellent!!! The finish always feels so wasteful with the big, plastic packaging. Kleenite feels more 'green' just being one bottle with powder.

I really noticed a fresher smell in the DW with the finish vs lemishine. Ordered something from Amazon last night and had the kleenite in my cart but no ship to Canada.
