What kind of powder are you using? Some really cheap powders are basically just sodium carbonate and silicate, with some enzymes, and no actual detergents. These won't work well if your load is "too clean", as it needs some grease to saponify in order to generate detergent.
The medium/high quality stuff contains more/better detergents,
water conditioners, and sometimes rinse aids. The packs are just powder formulations pressed into a pellet.
- pottertheotter 4y agoI mostly used Cascade Complete powder (there was a point early in the pandemic when I had to grab whatever was on the shelf) and use Cascade Platinum packs. A couple months back we ran out of packs and had some powder leftover, so I ran a load with the powder. I ended up having to run the load again once we got the packs.
