How do we think a blade would clean up in a dishwasher?

without having a closer look it is hard to say, however it looks like the acid has "etched" the steel and is highlighting the grain structure of the metal. I dont think you have ANYTHING to worry about! it is purely just the surface.
to get rid of them you could polish the blade...

I did go ahead and perform an experiment using the cleaning product on galvanised steel. The image shows the effect this acid had on the galv. (on the left) but then I went ahead and placed a similar amount of another degreasing agent - one that doesn't contain citric acid - on the plate and this shows no effect and in case the citric acid really cleaned the galv. I used white spirit on another area to remove any possible hydrocarbon (grease) on the plate. This too shows no effect. See image

Artme, the dishwashing product we use - Finish - is basically citric acid.

no name oven cleaner from franklins works quite fine. why pay more? Been using it for years with an old toothbrush.
do you honestly think a blade designed to spin at whatever rpm and cut thru timber and or aluminium will be affected by a bit of oven cleaner? even the ones with a powder covering of some sort will be unaffected. mine never are and Ive been at it for years.Zed
