Finish is a globally recognized leader in automatic dishwashing detergents, famously known for its innovative multi-chamber tablets and gel formulas. Originally introduced in 1953 by the U.S.-based company Economics Laboratory (now Ecolab), the brand was created to address the specific cleaning needs of molded plastic dinnerware. Over the decades, Finish became a pioneer in the industry, launching the first biological powder in 1969 and the iconic 'Powerball' technology in 1999.

In 1987, the brand's trajectory shifted when it was acquired by the German company J.A. Benckiser. Following a high-profile merger in 1999, the brand became part of the British-Dutch multinational Reckitt Benckiser, now simply known as Reckitt. Today, Finish is marketed in over 70 countries, often having replaced local legacy names like Calgonit in Europe and Electrasol in North America to establish a unified global identity.

While the brand has American roots, its manufacturing is now widespread across global facilities to serve its international markets. The product shown, Finish Power Gel, is specifically formulated for rapid dissolution and grease removal, continuing the brand's legacy of performance-driven household cleaning solutions under the stewardship of Reckitt, which remains the ultimate owner as of 2026.
