I am a member of the Finish Power & Free Alliance of Moms and I do receive consideration for this partnership.
Every day I feel inadequate to have my three children call me mommy. I’m not the mom who makes awesome Martha Stewart type crafts and treats for her child’s classmates at school parties. I’m not the mom who wakes up early to curl her daughters hair every morning. I’m not the mom who volunteers for the PTA. I’m not the mom who plans these gorgeous, extravagant birthday parties.
That’s just not me. And many days I feel like my children are missing out on so much because I’m not that mom.
But, I am the mom who tries her best to make sure her family feels loved. I am the mom who makes fun, healthy lunches for her children. I am the mom who chooses organic and natural products when feasible. I am the mom that will paint her daughters fingernails. I am the mom that will act silly if it brings laughter and a smile to her child’s face. And I am the mom who tries her hardest to keep as many chemicals as possible out of the house.
That’s why I joined the Finish Power & Free Alliance of Moms.
Washing dishes is just a natural part of life for a mom and getting it done quickly and efficiently is most important to me. Thankfully my dishwasher does most of the work.
For years I’ve been using Finish® Quantum® dishwasher detergent and Finish® Jet-Dry®. The only time I’d stray away was if there was another brand that was considerably cheaper because it was on sale. But when I heard there was a new Finish product with less harsh chemicals, I couldn’t help but stand behind the idea of Finish Power & Free products.
Finish Power & Free dishwasher products hit store shelves last month and they are designed to deliver the same clean and shine as regular Finish detergents but with less harsh chemicals. What that means for consumers is a product that contains no chlorine bleach and uses less fragrances and dyes than its predecessor.
The “secret” behind the new Finish Power & Free products is the Hydrogen Peroxide Action that works to attack even the toughest of stains and baked-on foods. It will deliver sparkling clean and amazing shine, all with less harsh chemicals than the regular Finish Quantum formula.
Using Finish Power & Free is as simple as opening the package and placing the little capsule into a dry dishwasher compartment. Run your dishwasher and let it go to work with Finish Power & Free to give you sparkling clean dishes.
As a mom it’s natural to want to do everything we can to provide a safer environment for our family. The moment you have a child, your life is no longer just your own. You have this great responsibility that doesn’t come with any sort of owners manual and yet you are their sole protector, provider, confidant, and friend. Because I have three children who are my top priority, I don’t have a choice when it comes to safety. I have to do whatever I can do ensure that their home, the safe haven they can escape to, is as safe as I can make it.
Buy:
- Finish® Quantum® Power & Free™ dishwasher detergent ($.30 per wash cycle)
- Finish® Powerball® Power & Free™ dishwasher detergent ($.22 per wash cycle)
- Finish® Jet-Dry® Power & Free™ rinse aid ($.05 per wash cycle)

Its nice that they dont include bleach. Since we have a septic I try hard not to use anything with bleach in it!

I so wish we had a dishwasher! I think if we did I would for sure use these!!!
Nichol says
I’m not that mom either but am so much more in other ways:) I’m big on chemicals and healthy eating, but my kids aren’t on board with eating healthy so I sneak it all in:)
I really need to get a new dishwasher since ours broke over a year ago. These look so much simpler than the liquid stuff I used.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I’m using the regular Finish right now, but I’ll look for this when it runs out. 🙂

I’ve been using these and they make my dishes so sparkly!
Angela says
We all do the best we can as parents. Keeping them safe from chemicals should be a priority.
Raijean says
Great job! You are doing the best you can!!
Tammy says
My last dishwasher finish quantum was the only detergent I could use in it. When we moved I tried a different brand and was just not happy with it. I’m back to using Finish Quantum so I guess that says it all.
Vanessa: thequeenofswag says
It’s great that they don’t include bleach. It’s so rough on the skin.
Rachel @ Following In My Shoes says
This is the brand I USE!

I currently use this. It does such a fantastic job!

Definitely nice to know it uses less harsh chemicals and less fragrances and dyes!
Kathleen B says
We just started switching all out cleaners over to more natural stuff, so it is great to hear these don’t contain the harsh chemicals that other brands do.
Shell Feis says
I always use Finish too & have been loving this new version! It makes me want to switch more of my cleaning supplies over.
Marcie W. says
We are also a family who does our best to use as many all natural, organic, chemical free products as possible. I think it’s awesome that Finish dishwasher tablets now have a FREE variety!
Mickey says
We’re trying to use fewer chemicals and less harsh cleaners in our house. This is perfect – I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.
Toni says
I am trying to use fewer chemicals as well. They are so dangerous and one of the reasons I don’t want my kids cleaning with them.
