Apparently it works fine, for it disappears after each wash. The main issue I have with this product is that it comes in powder form, making it a little on the inconvenient side to dispense properly. Since our dishwasher does not have any compartment for powder form, and I believe most of the newer ones do not, you are required to pour it at the bottom of the dishwasher and let the machine handle the rest. Besides the gel packs we currently use and the liquid finish to aid in the drying process this product could be construed as overkill, but we really enjoy to see the end results delivering a consistent extra clean, extra dry, spot free wash.
For the reason alone that it came in powder form (I had assumed from the picture that it would be liquid and that it could go on the liquid dispenser) I rated it a little lower. I have not experienced left overs of the powder, as some reviewers claimed. In that case, of course, this product would be almost useless. So far it has worked in that it disappears completely from the bottom where it is placed. I tried it once by putting a flat glass cup plate at the bottom and filling it up. It also disappeared leaving only a very small residue of water on the plate. I found it inconvenient so I started using directly as instructed.
Dishes and glasses have been thoroughly cleaned, but like I mentioned I use the gel pack and the liquid finish rinse in addition, so in the end I got an above performance when I used the 3 products. Does it clean less without this one product? Maybe so, but I was getting a very nice clean before adding the Finish Power Up Booster Agent, 14 ounce, so I can not say for how much the cleaning has improved.
Would I buy this same product again? Probably not, knowing that there are so many other products of equal performance that do not require that method of usage. They recommend to 2 Tbs but I probably use a little more, for it is hard to be precise whey you are just pouring. Once again very thankful to amazon, a class act from way back, for allowing me to try this product, and I rate this product 3.5, mostly for the inconvenient way in which it has to be used
