Not the OP, but this is how my parents use the dishwasher - I think a lot of people don't realize that you don't need to pre-handwash for modern dishwashers.

- thecosmicfrog 1y agoEspecially if you use a small amount of detergent in the pre-wash compartment. Most people (at least in Europe) just use a single tablet in the main wash section. I've seen a massive improvement by putting a teaspoon amount of detergent in with the pre-wash. The ever-wonderful Technology Connections sent me down this path.[1] Without detergent in the pre-wash compartment, only water is used to pre-soak the dishes.

- thecosmicfrog 1y agoI'm using the Miele dishwasher powder myself, mainly because it's the only one I could find at a reasonable price that wasn't tablets: https://shop.miele.com.au/en/cleaning-and-accessories/miele-cleaning-products/dishwasher/dishwasher-powder-zid10528430/ https://shop.miele.com.au/en/cleaning-and-accessories/miele-...
