There's an important thing that was missed in this video! The instructions from Cascade are telling you to use way too much detergent. I've made a follow-up video about detergent dosing and also addressed a lot of your concerns in it. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hJxnYZt-e6aazok.html If packs were sold with, maybe, tear-off baby packs meant to be thrown in along with the main wash, I'd be elated. And, to be clear, it's not like I think packs, tabs, whatever don't work - I'm sure plenty of you have fine experiences with them. They just... well as I said they don't make sense to me. Not for a dishwasher, anyway!

A) My wife totally needs to see this: scrubs the dishes before they go in the dw, tosses a pack directly into the tub, and wonders why the dishes still aren't clean. B) *Part* of the "dishes must be scrubbed clear before entering the dishwasher" may come from the commercial kitchen side. Those washers are *basically* not designed to do any scrubbing (that's what the sprayguy (me for 5 years!) is for). The washer is only designed to break down any remaining films and sanitize the dishes in very quick order.

Okay, you actaully made me look at my Dishwashers Owner's manual. This is a BOSCH and I am located in Germany, for reference. The dishwasher does not have a pre-wash compartment. In the instructions it says (roughly translated) "Attention: due to the different activation time of detergent tablets you might have inferior cleaning power with short-running programs. We recommend powder detergent". Furthermore: "If you use powder detergent, we recommend pouring in a little extra directly into the tub for intensive cleaning, in addition to the detergent dispenser".

@@TechnologyConnections It's just uncommon at least in German dishwashers. It is not really necessary, at least with the programmes used by the dishwashers here. On the other hand, using dishwasher salt for descaling the water is absolutely normal and seems quite uncommon in the US. It's just interesting to see the different "traditions" that have evolved in dishwasher operations. You would expect that how to wash dishes would be quite the same all over the world. So for the Bosh-Models having only one compartment seems to be more a thing of that tradition and not so much from giving into pods.
@KisMadarful
@KisMadarful Рік тому
My journey of learning about dishwashers and my results after watching the video: I grew up in a household with a dishwasher but I was never really taught about descaling and limescale prevention, so it took me few years to realize I need to 1. put the special salt in the salt basket (especially because we have very hard water where I live) 2. run a cleaning/descaling cycle every 6 months and 3. use rinse aid to have dishes without a film of dust at the end. We also had problems with pods not cleaning well every time, e.g. some food residue remaining on bigger pans or coffee stains not coming off with the first wash. I used to use Somat pods for 0.15-0.22 Euro per wash. Now after watching the video and trying some store brands, I'm buying a cheaper option of pods - 0.07 Euro per pod - and adding a little bit of powder detergent for the prewash. I'm now satisfied every time because the dishes are cleaner then ever, for a much cheaper price

tl;dr from both this and the followup: - Don't worry about rinsing dishes before putting it into the dishwasher - Heat sink water before turning on Dish Washer - Use the 'Normal Setting' on your dishwasher to make sure the pre-wash happens - Use powder Detergent (DON'T use dish soap, pods, or gels) - Place in both the main wash, and pre-wash cups - Don't use TOO much - the amount you need correlates with how hard your water is. If you have a powdery residue or film on dishes, you may be using too much. Try filling it halfway - Don't sweat whether or not it has phosphates - Get rinse-aid, it can not be included in detergent - Consider getting a dishwasher cleaning product, like Glisten Dishwasher cleaner

My Miele dishwasher has a salt compartment but no designated pre wash space. I checked the manual and it says that you can put detergent on the door if the dishes are very dirty. It also says that the difference of powders / gels vs pods is that you can tune the amount of detergent. So yes, Miele is with you on this one. Great video by the way!

I just moved into a rental with a dishwasher for the first time last month and I absolutely didn't know anything about how to use one. I always had a lot of doubts about those little colorful packs. So I stumbled on your video trying to figure it out! And boy am I glad I did, I tried it for the first time last night and it worked like a dream. Washing dishes remains one of my least favorite things to do, and now I only have to do it for a few things that aren't dishwasher safe!! We have moderately hard water here, and even then filling up the cups only halfway worked perfectly. Thank you so much for this and your follow up video!

Better late than never. I watched your above video yesterday (5th December 2023) and was totally fascinated with you research and findings. I did not know that there were such great differences between US and European Dishwashers. I find the idea of a compartment for pre-wash powder and also a sterilise cycle are things we could use here, but drawing hot water from the tap and not having built in water softener, well you can keep those ideas on your side of the pond. Today I used out and and after a search, I bought a 1,5kilo bag of Dishwasher Powder for €2,85 giving me 100 washes. I normally pay around €8.00 for 50 Tabs. So far so good. I will now test with 15gr Powder per load and a tablespoon of Powder for the pre-wash. wish me luck I have a Bosch machine WITH salt softener and no separate compartment for cleaner Thanks for the excellent presentation

This video helped me realize something: My house’s dishwasher soap dispenser is at the bottom of the door blocked by the dish rack. It doesn’t open far enough to let a soap pod fall out! The pod doesn’t dissolve all the way so the rinse cycle leaves soap film over everything. Maybe it’s older than I think and was designed before the popularity of pods, intended instead for regular detergent granules 🤔

Ran the hot water until it came up, and put a pack in the pre-wash and the wash receptacles. My washer only has a bottom sprayer, so I was not full of hope. But, one hour later, I open my machine, and Voila! Everything was spanking clean! Wow! This will save me a lot of labor and time, which is important as a single father of three.

This was a very persuasive argument for using the prewash function. Something also worth checking is if the seal on your dishwasher's detergent dispenser is functional. I would rather not use packs, but I've gravitated towards them recently because my dishwasher is an ultra-cheap model (landlord provided) that immediately oozes out any gel you put in. I figure the packs are a little more likely to not get swept away in the pre-wash, and they're at least not running down the door as soon as I close it. You can check this with a gel by filling it up, closing the doors, and then not running the dishwasher immediately. Check back in a few minutes to see if you have a mass goo escape on your hands. If so, there's no way that gel is making it all the way to the main wash

no joke, it's 6 AM, can't sleep, just watched this, my family hates doing dishes, and I just took the racks out of my dishwasher to peer inside and find out how best to use this one. there isn't a prewash tub, so I just started a load with detergent in the main release thingy, and squirted a little onto the door itself, and didn't rinse the dishes I put in there at all. if this legit just ended my family's war of frustration on the dishes, then you sir, I like you.

Very interesting video. Finally after a couple years without a dishwasher we got ourselves a Miele, and in the instructions they also state that it is recommend to place a bit of detergent (powder) on the door when you do a wash cycle with a pre-wash. However, the Eco Mode doesn't do a pre-wash and still has excellent results in just over three hours.
@rcmanization
@rcmanization Рік тому
FYI, eco mode is usually not good to use because the water temperate is so low that fat can get stuck in the pipes of your sink.
@laurencebarnes5361
@laurencebarnes5361 Рік тому
@@rcmanization detergent does quite a good job at dissolving fat, plus the temperature is at 51°C, which should work just fine. Also I doubt there's a problematic amount of fat, unless you fried something in your steel pan and put it in without cleaning it up with a bit of kitchen paper. I washed dishes by hand with moderately warm water at best, and we didn't have issues as well. The low amount of water can be an issue however, as not all food remains get flushed off properly and can get stuck in the water pocket, and accumulate fat if you don't use a hygienic cycle regularly.

@EvenTheDogAgrees 3 роки тому
@@EgonFreeman Not really. Science is not stopping the process halfway through, and saying "see? This removes more at the beginning, therefore, without testing the end result, I proclaim it to be better". Science is doing a ton of experiments with and without pre-wash detergent, having the machine finish its cycle, and seeing how often you get dirty dishes after the full cycle. Exactly the kind of testing that the companies who make these pods (and traditional detergent) do to ensure their product meets expectations. I'm pretty sure those pods are formulated stronger to compensate for the lack of pre-wash detergent. In all my testing the only stuff that came out still dirty was charred bits on frying pans that wouldn't come off even after two more cycles in an otherwise empty machine. A smaller amount of extra detergent during pre-wash won't help if two full doses of detergent and two full cycles fail to do the job. For some things you still need steel wool and elbow grease. For all the rest, these pods seem to work just fine.
