The first detergent I bought to use
with my dishwasher was Cascade Powder with Dawn. It's a common brand
and its not too expensive. Overall I was not too happy with its
cleaning ability. In the beginning it was ok, but after a few months
I noticed the glasses were not getting clean. I tried different
amounts and different cycles, but nothing was working. It should
also be noted that I always rinse my dishes well before I even put
them in the washer so there should be no excuse for them not to be
clean.
Because of this issue, I asked advice
from one of my co-workers. She recommended the individual packets,
Cascade calls them ActionPacs. I went to the store and got the
Cascade Complete ActionPacs. They were considerably more expensive
than the basic powder, but they were on sale and I got the smallest
size just to try them out.
At first I was hesitant because they
come in a plastic and you are just suppose to put them in like that
and they are suppose to dissolve. I took their words for it and as
promised, it did dissolve. It also cleaned the dishes very well!
The detergent also had a good smell to it.
After the dishes were cleaned, for the
next cycle, I thought I would try out the powder. It seemed to work
better this time, but still not as good as the packets. My plan now
is to use both kinds of detergent and alternate between them. If you
are having trouble getting your dishes clean, I recommend trying out
the Cascade ActionPacs.
