What Is the Best Type of Dishwasher Soap to Use?
smcelvoy asked:
Ok I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow and I need to get a new dishwasher soap (either liquid or gel packs, doesn't matter) and I need to know what the best kind is, because everytime I wash my dishes in the dishwasher the dishes (mostly glasses/cups) on the top rack never get clean, they usually have a dirty film on the outside or dirt (like from the other dishes below) stuck on the inside of them! How can I get ALL my dishes clean? And do dishwasher cleaners (the cleaner you can buy and run in your dishwasher to clean your dishwasher not dishes) really work or are they pointless?
Oh yeah, I use jet dry, so it's not from hard water stains.
It's not water spots I have a problem with, I have a problem with food and other "mush" from the dishes on the bottom rack coming up and getting on the dishes above....I could care less about water spots or water film....

whatever you get make sure it’s biodegradable

If you don’t have a water softener,try putting !/2 cup of vinegar in the rinse cycle.That’s what we do. It will take a few times but the soap film,which is the cloudiness your seeing.disappear.If you have a softener.It may not be set up for the amount of water your using,or it is out of salt.
I always rinse my dishes, including glasses, with warm to hot water before putting them into the dishwasher. I was told NEVER use powder dish washing soap, but to always use liquid because it will not clog the outtake of the dishwasher. I have never had a problem in the many years I have had a dishwasher. Your water may be hard, and there is a liquid that you can put in a small container in your dishwaher that will keep the glasses from spotting. It is sold at the local grocery store.
