Dishwasher:

Why Do I Have Residue On My Dishes The First Time I Use Powerizer?  Powerizer is a powder detergent and dishwasher machine cleaner. Often, machines have residue build-up that can be redeposited back on your dishes in the first couple of washes. We recommend that you run 1-3 empty loads initially to release all the build-up in your machine. If you have a milky coating, you should treat your machine again.  

How Is Powerizer Able To Clean Both My Dishwasher And Laundry Machines? Our concentrated powder detergent has very few suds that will work effectively in both machines.

How Can I Use It In My Dishwasher? Place ½ to ¾ scoop or 1 COMPLETE POD into the compartment labeled detergent.

Do I Need Rinse Aid Or Other Additives When Using Powerizer? No, a rinse aid nor a machine cleaner is required. Powerizer is less effective when used with other products.

Will Powerizer Leave A Residue Or A Film On My Dishware? No, Powerizer is specifically designed to have no residue.

Can I Use Powerizer When Hand Washing Dishes? Powerizer is designed for the automatic dishwasher and laundry. However, you can use it for hand-washing or soaking burnt-on or caked-on messes as well.

Will Powerizer Cause Etching Or Scratches To My Dishes Like Other Dishwashing Detergents? No, Powerizer has a protectant ingredient that prevents etching on dishware.

Is Powerizer A Dishwasher Machine Cleaner? Yes, add a 3/4 scoop of Powerizer Complete or 1 Complete POD into the dishwasher detergent compartment. Your dishwasher should be empty. Powerizer deodorizes, removes limescale and mineral residue build-up from your dishwasher. Select the clean cycle if available or select the regular cycle. 

On Other Surfaces:

Can Powerizer Be Used To Clean Other Areas Of The Home? Yes, see label instructions for making a cleaning solution for stubborn stains and other uses.

Will Powerizer Remove Stubborn Pet Stains And Odors? Yes, Powerizer will eliminate lifts stains and neutralizes odors.

Can I Use Powerizer On Upholstery Stains Or Spot Stains? Yes

Can I Use Powerizer In My Carpet Cleaning Machine? We do not recommend using it in a carpet cleaning machine. The percarbonate ingredient builds pressure and bubbles that can cause the machine not to work effectively. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

What Are Some Of Powerizer's Other Uses? The cleaning power of Powerizer lifts stubborn stains, soap scum, lime, rust, dirt, and odors effortlessly.

What Is The Correct Dosage For Cleaning Toilets? Toilets fall under heavy-duty cleaning on our directions. We suggest using at least one scoop or 2 COMPLETE PODS inside the toilet bowl for regular cleaning. Depending on the make and model of the toilet, they can hold anywhere from 1.5 to 7 gallons of water. This means you may need to add more Powerizer to the bowl if you have a lot of water in the bowl. 

Can Powerizer Remove Hard Water Spots From Toilets? Yes, Powerizer works to break down calcium and magnesium build-up. The Powerizer formula reacts to the positive and negative charges in the water to soften and dissolve the minerals. This process takes time. The longer you allow Powerizer to saturate the stain, the more quickly it will remove it. Sometimes an overnight soak is suggested. Remember, this build-up didn't happen instantly, so getting Powerizer to work will also take some time to penetrate the hard water stain. 

Can Powerizer Work On Mold And Mildew? Yes, it will. Make a paste and saturate the area and let sit.

Powerizer TIP: Cover the area with a damp cloth to keep it wet. Powerizer can work up to 8 hours as long as it doesn't dry out.
