Many (most?) dishwashers have a special section for putting soap that gets used in the pre-rinse cycle. In mine it would be functionally identical to spilling some extra detergent, but it's easier to consistently measure the right amount.
- raldi 5y agoTrue; we use a measuring spoon anyway to scoop 1 tsp into the box and 1/2 tsp to spill. (Turns out you don't need anywhere near what the box size suggests, and that can actually cause the drain to get gunked up with foam.)
- dredmorbius 5y agoNewer models are doing away with this, especially those intended for use with detergent tablets.
