Can you use CLR on dishes?

Personally, I wouldn't recommend using CLR in the dishwasher unless you live in an area with extremely hard water and don't have a water softener. If this is the case, Jelmar (the manufacturer of CLR) recommends using 1/2 cup CLR once the empty dishwasher is at least half filled with water.

Can you put clr in a dishwasher?

Yes you can. Just don't put dishes in it at the same time! just pour a puddle of clr and water mixture (mix as per instructions on bottle) onto the bottom of the dishwasher. -Don't use to much or the dishwasher will have bubbles on your floor.- Make sure to scrub problem areas e.g. calcium and rust. then run dishwasher EMPTY on it's "light wash" or "quick rinse" option and turn off the heat dry (you don't need to dry an empty dishwasher!). Do not leave the house until the cycle has finished. When cycle is finished, remove the filter and sprayer arms/tower and rinse in clean water. repeat if necessary. Enjoy your now clean dishwasher.

Be careful. My sister did this and "cleaned" her dishwasher and the calcium build up went out of the washing area and clogged the tube that went over the washer. It required me to uninstall the washer and remove the tube for replacement.
