over sudsing/excess foam

[maytaga806]

Hi John. I essentially meant overuse of detergent that isn’t getting rinsed out enough in each wash. This happens with people who use too much detergent with the light wash, or one hour wash. I bought a dishwasher that had tons of detergent left behind in it due to this and it took multiple rinse only cycles to get it all out, more of a rare case, I should of been more specific it’s hard to write all of this info where we can’t all talk face to face! Anyways yes your absolutely right! I’ve always wondered if it’s the amount of Dawn they claim to put into all of the actionpacs, there is no other ingredient listed that should cause the sudsing.

Yes any cascade pac can get sudsy depending on the water softness, the softer the water is and the more powerful of a dishwasher it is the more sudsy it’s gonna get with any of the pacs for sure. Just in my case where I live it was only the regular platinum that caused oversudsing. I can’t imagine what the platinum plus would do to a dishwasher in real soft water conditions. Cascade doesn’t think it’s an issue.

dawn

I'm wondering if they put twice as much dawn in their dishwasher detergent packs. Mine is washing as we speak.

Finish is definitely less foaming than cascade...In fact, the past few years I've used the Kirkland and Finish Quantum and neither of them foam at all..but astonishingly I liked the Kirkland better... What I really want is the Finish powerball (that comes in like a Square blue speckled cube with the red dot in the middle)... that's my absolutely favorite and no foam at all... If I were having a foaming issue... that's the one I'd go for... if you can find them

It's funny... On the finish powerball box... it says "upgrade your powerball to quantum for a better clean... As it stands... I have to use STPP with Quantum... I didn't with powerball. So in my case I'm upgrading my clean going to powerball from quantum

Sudsing

I had issues with my Point Voyager when using rinse aid. It was bad enough where I couldn’t use it because it released a small amount during the main wash and caused crazy sudsing issues regardless of detergent. Cascade action Pacs did foam up bad, but didn’t hinder performance as long as no rinse aid was in the dispenser.
However, the Bosch did struggle a bit with sudsing with Cascade Action Pacs. Finish Quantum was good until reformulated.
The power clean KitchenAid and new KA just kick ass regardless of what is used. But we did have hard water with the PC.

finish

I've used finish ultimate in mine and noticed less suds.

situation resolved

I have switched to Finish Ultimate pods in both machines. The excessive foam/sudsing problem has gone away.

Finish ultimate clean and shine

I am switching back to them after I used up my Cascade. The oversudsing is so stupid. I thought dishwasher detergent wasn't supposed to suds up.
