What do you put in your dishwasher?

I've been using the Finish powerballs and HATE them, they ALWAYS leave streaks, and spots on my dishes.

Looking for something different...help me out with some ideas Chat Icon

The Cascade brick things. I love that you don't have to worry about over pouring. I feel like I save money this way.

Palmolive Eco - it's phosphate free. I like it, but I think next time I'll try 7th generation or something else that's both phosphate and bleach free.

Ecover tablets. They are phosphate and bleach free. They probably do not clean as well as regular detergent, but I've had such crappy dishwashers that I really can't tell if its the detergent or the dishwasher!

I love Finish. Works much better for me than Cascade.

However, I have to use Jetdry with any detergent or I will get spots.

I used to use the Gel packs too but have started to hate them.

Now I used the Cascade Liquid/Gel.

Re: What do you put in your dishwasher?

There are a few things I like...

1-Method Smarty Dish
2-Seventh Generation liquid in Lemon
3-I am about to try Mrs. Meyer's liquid in Basil..it was written up in Real Simple as one of the best...but so far the other two have actually done a better job than the Finish tabs I used to use..I also find that a rinse agent (Jet Dry) added once in a while helps a lot...hth...
