I'm sure you'll...
Love it. The Cascade Professional, is a very good formula.
I personally think, Bubble Bandit, could be a very good product too. I mean, the formulation for it seems good.. however at $17-$20 a 3.5lb bag (keep in mind, a 4lb box of Cascade with Phosphates used to only cost $3-5) it's simply, too costly for everyday use.
I actually did a calculation a while ago, and figured out, at 60 loads a bag, its .28 cents a load. That's even more than Finish Quantum, and from what I understand, Quantum actually preforms better according to fellow members.
I have heard nothing but good things about BB. I just don't think, it's practical enough for me, to use as a everyday detergent.

Well the other dosmestic dishwasher does not have a heater so I have to preheat the water first, which takes almost 4 min to get lukewarm water up to the sink.. after I did that and used some old sunlight that had phosphates it did a better job of cleaning the dishes then the gel costco brand.

Hey Mike..
Would you mind posting pics of your Kirkland Signature bottle, the front & back?
I'd like to see the formula it contains.

Years ago now when Consumer Reports tested the new enzyme offerings from Cascade and Electrasol they blew old chlorine bleach formulas out of the water. So much so they have remained top choices and have come to dominate domestic dishwasher detergent sales.
That being said again domestic dishwashers already had long cycles for years now, and they have only increased in length to accommodate low water/energy mandates.
On the other side of the field you have commercial/institutional products that pretty much are what domestic detergents used to be: very to highly caustic products with chlorine bleach. These are designed for hot to very hot water (140F to near 160F) water temperatures with spray forces that can scrub rust off metal.
Many American housewives were not sorry to see chlorine based products go as the wafting scent of bleach for some of us was more than we could bear.
Interestingly enough when one would open the DW to add something during the first wash on "Normal" much of the muck was already gone. The second long cycle with it's heated wash removed the more stuck on bits and residue.

Do you actually fill the pre-wash cup in your dishwasher?

Suds, suds and more suds
I have a Bosch DW only about 1 month old. I got a box of Cascade fryer boil out and added it to the dispenser door and proceeded to run the machine. When it was getting close to being done with the rinse I checked and OMG the suds!! On further inspection the detergent was a blob in the open detergent door, thank goodness the whole DW prob would have been filled with suds. So I got out what I could and skimmed off the suds. I then shut the door so it could continue I checked a little while later and still a lot of suds. I had to run the DW 3x. The next wash I ONLY put 1 teaspoon and still a lot of suds and again it was a wet clump in the open dispenser door. Also with the excessive suds it makes the DW sound very loud and it's normally a very quiet machine. I'm gonna try 1/2 teaspoon next time but does anyone have any suggestions on what could be going on? Thanks
