You may or may not have seen Technology Connections' many, many videos on the subject of dishwashers.
The tl; dr is:
* use the basic powder stuff
* put some of the basic powder stuff in the "pre wash" section
* if your washer doesn't have a prewash, sprinkle a little on the inside
* turn the sink water on hot until it's producing hot water before starting the dishwasher
* if your dishwasher has a filter for food, check that it's empty
* you're probably using too much detergent

- pottertheotter 4y agoI found this to be bad advice. I switched to the basic powder stuff for a while and my dishes were always horrible. Went back to Cascade Platinum pods and I've never had a problem.
- kbaker 4y agoI've switched over to using Cascade Gel in the prewash and a Platinum pod in main wash after watching the video a couple months ago. I felt the powder stuff gets kinda messy amd the gel is easier. I don't need to pre rinse and scrub anymore. Silverware, dishes, and pots go straight in even with food residue dried on, so I save a bunch of time. Everything comes out perfectly spotless and squeaky clean. Older GE dishwasher on auto.
- Blackthorn 4y agoAs America's Test Kitchen said a very long time ago, use the pods that have as many different colors as you can find. Those Cascade Platinum pods are great.
