Does this product get rid of the FISHY smell that is on dishes & in glasses after a cycle???

I have never experienced a strong fishy smell on the dishes & in glasses...Surely, you could easily fix the problem just leaving them soak in water and vinegar (or lemon) overnight as well as for any other kind of smell. I am worried that this product might dull the glasses. It's meant to clean the dishwasher, (not directly on dishes/glasses I believe) and it works wonderfully on it. Mine was shining and cleaning after only one cycle.

It just cleans the empty dishwasher - and it does that pretty well. I have never experienced a fishy smell on dishes/glasses after cleaned.

This has not been an issue for me, sorry. But you might try a rinse aid in the cycle as well as regular soap; this makes a big difference in how clean the dishes are at the end of the cycle.

I only smell the fishy odor when I tested the cubes in a relatively enclosed space. Outside the smell soon dissipates. A second source of odor can be your hands. Touching the cubes with bear hands leaves odor on your hands, which does linger and originally I thought it was coming from the burning cubes. After washing my hands, the odor disappears. The cubes don't work quite as well as I hoped, especially if there is even the slightest breeze. It frequently takes two cubes to get 16 oz of water to boil in a light breeze outdoors. Indoors, in calm air, 16 oz of water will boil with one cube. I only smell the fishy odor when I tested the cubes in a relatively enclosed space. Outside the smell soon dissipates.

At first I thought it had a slight fish smell but it didn't last n now I don't smell it at all. But the little sample of cold plasma smelled bad. I haven't used it. Just received a new kit so will see how that cold plasma smells. I like the product (sub D) but only see maybe 30-40% improvement.

I don't know if it will do that or not. I always rinse off my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher b/c we have an old one. However it does disinfect thoroughly & when it seems like the dw is not cleaning the dishes sufficiently, after you use this, you immediately tell the difference w/ your next load.

Hi, Kat...I haven't noticed any smell at all, either from my X Mug or X Bowl. I have the Plate, X Bowl, X Mug and the X Shotglass...I think you will enjoy one or all of them.Bill

Good question! I got some on the sink and had to scrub with bathroom cleaner. That's a definite drawback of the product.

Hi, Kathy. This is Bob's wife, Libby, the user of the capsules. There is a slight lemony smell to the product. I keep mine in the refrigerator to eliminate fishy after-burps, and it's possible the smell might be stronger at room temperature. The contents are fish oils, so if you have a very sensitive nose, you may be picking up a fishy odor. However, if it smells bad or very strong, there may have been some leakage due to heat in transit, leading to rancid oil smell. If that's the case, I would contact your supplier for replacement. I have used many bottles without encountering an odor.

Wow! No, mine does not at all.Maybe try soaking it in a sink with some water and citrus hand soap or dish soap. Hopefully whatever is giving off the odor is just on the surface.

Believe it or not, try Goo Gone. Make sure the glass is warm (sun shining through it, or use a hair blow dryer). You'll need to use Windex again, of course. I hope this helps!

I have a 4 part recipe that is better than any dishsoap I've ever used: 1 tsp Bronner's Sal Suds, 1 tsp Arm&Hammer; washing soda, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar poured in the bottom of the machine. Yeah it's extra trouble but it's safe, natural and dishes come out shiny and spotless!

If the smell is from chlorine, yes. We installed the Filtrete filter to improve the taste and in hopes that the all but invisible black substance that accumulated in our drains from the faucets would be removed. After about two months, I no longer had to clean the faucet filters or the drains. Excellent product.

I've put a few drops in a glass dish (per instructions) to help dissipate some mildewy odors under a sink. The product has a mild minty, maybe a little medicinal, smell that isn't overwhelming and I can't really smell it when not in the area of the dish. I find it stops working when it has evaporated. It works okay, but I don't think it would work in a larger open area, like a whole room. And it doesn't "eliminate" any odor that is continual. I didn't find it was as successful as some of the reviews stated. I've used the Febreeze Set and Refresh little containers with similar results. Nothing I've found totally gets rid of continual odors. I've put a few drops in a glass dish (per instructions) to help dissipate some mildewy odors under a sink.

I do notice a minor fishy smell and perhaps a little change in the taste of my smoothies but really not much. Did you refrigerate after you opened it? I have a small jar I took to work that was not refrigerated and it did get fishier smelling. But still not that bad. I think a little taste, smell and color just comes with the product. This is still by fat the best spiulina product I've ever used and iI have been feeling marvelous!

This product probably won't work to rid your dishwasher of the rotten egg smell. Try running a 1/2 cup to a full cup of household bleach in a cycle. That should take care of it at least temporarily, and possibly permanently.

I have 4 basset hounds that drink a lot of water. I put a little drop of dawn in the empty container. I put very hot tap water up to top. I then put top on & then I shake really hard. I rinse with hot water so there is no soap. That seems to take the smell out. Also I clean this 1 once a week. I also clean the filter. I change the filter monthly. The instructions say you don't have to do it this often but I find that it works better. I love this product. I have tried most of the others. This by far is the best for all my needs. I hope this will help you solve the problem. Bethe

Absolutely. I actually had to stop using it due to the horrible smell. This occurred about 6 months after I purchased the unit. I even had washed out the " lifetime filter" , but it has continued shortly after. Was thinking to purchase a new filter and see if that helps. :(
