When I moved into my current house, I must have purchased the "good stuff" without even knowing it. I didn't really research detergent, just bought something at the store. My dishwasher worked great, and I was quite happy.
Well one day, my dishes started looking foggy and food wasn't getting broken down. I realized that coincided with the fact that I purchased a different detergent. Even the drain and screen were getting clogged with a nasty goo. I really thought something was wrong with the dishwasher and I was getting ready to replace it. Well I decided before swapping out the whole unit, that I should try the old detergent again. Boom, everything came out sparkly clean, and the inside of the dishwasher looked like new again.
I never thought detergents would make that much difference, but apparently they do. How you're supposed to know for sure when buying is beyond me. I guess just keep trying different detergents until you find one that gets your stuff clean.
