Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Sodium Metasilicate, Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate, active organic chlorine, phosphorus (Contains not more than 21% phosphorus in the form of phosphates, which is equivalent to 2.3 grams per tablespoon use level.)


Directions from Packaging

For use with automatic dishwasher detergent. Finish Glass Magic is not a detergent and not a cleaner. To prevent hard water film and spot from forming on your glasses, dishes, flatware, cookware, and plastic items during the dishwasher's cycles: Pour 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) of Finish Glass Magic into the bottom of your machine. Fill the dishwasher detergent dispensers with your favorite detergent and run through normal cleaning and drying cycles. For optimum results, fill liquid rinse agent dispenser with Finish Jet Dry & Rinse Agent for spot removal during rinse cycle. If glasses are heavily filmed or spotted, wash using 1/2 cup (8 tbsp) of Finish Glass Magic for several loads or until glasses are crystal clear. If glasses are etched, glasses will not become clear. Close spout after using to keep product fresh. Store in a cool, dry place. Use within a few months after purchase.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
