Great lime remover
eris reviewed December 14, 2008 at 6:01 pm

I don't have a dishwasher but this product has many other uses as well. I diluted some with water in a spray bottle and I use it to remove lime from faucets, sinks etc. It has proven to be very effective (as effective as vinegar, maybe a bit faster) and the scent is not overwhelming, making it easy to use.

Good dish cleaner

Rec'd this product through the 2nd Huddler contest.  Basically a good dishwasher soap - but we find it not quite as effective as some other brands when the dishwasher is at capacity.  Lemi shine does have other uses - it is effective when used in a mix with baking soda and water in your sink's garbage-disposal, it can be used on shower doors, and others as well.

Pros: Multipurpose cleaner - can be used for more than dishes!

Cons: Seems challenged with larger loads.
The hard water solution
heather reviewed April 21, 2008 at 1:39 pm

If you have hard water, you should know about Lemi Shine. It works much better than my previous method of coping, which was to add vinegar to my dishwasher, washing machine, et al...

Lemi Shine is phosphate free, made of citrus & natural oils. The only not so earth friendly part of it is the added fragrance.

It works miracles on shower doors & sinks that have hard water stains-- just dilute a 1/4 of a cup of lemi shine in 13 oz of water & then spray it on & let it sit a few minutes before rinsing with water & wiping off.
Added to the dishwasher it will help prevent hard water deposits from forming.

Also great for coffee pots, fixture soak & toilets-- pretty much anything except enamel.

It leaves everything just sparkling & clean (and the company makes a dishwasher rinse to prevent spots on your dishes, but I haven't tried that.)

I live in Ventura, Ca and the hard water is a problem. I have a fairly new dish washer and no matter what I try, be it, different detergents, rinse agents, nothing would clear up the dullness on my dishes until I tried LEMI SHINE. I as so impressed on on clear my dishes come out now, especially the glasses!!!!!

I work in a grocery store and tell customers buying this that they won't be disappointed.

Please never discontinue this product.
