the dishwasher detergent thing and the bleach

[bpetersxx]

update5

well I am going to have to get regular bleach

the chlorolan beach I got cannot go into the Dw

it barely can be used in washers

it foams and suds like Tide

 

[DADoES]

 
Depends on the formula variation.  No-splash and scented types typically cause sudsing.  I've never tried Cloralen.

Dollar Tree has Ultra Shine powder in a green box. It has Chlorine in it. It does a pretty good job too.

Dollar tree powder detergent (contains chlorine) worked great for me as well with cooked on soils.

However, use it up fast as the clumped detergent portions of the box washed horribly. - cloudiness/soil remnants.

I actually have used that Dollar Tree Ultra Shine too, and have had great results. Although, I boost it with a Teaspoon of STPP. The STPP brings the cleaning up to par with old Electrasol.

I've tried to love the Cascade Platinum and Finish Ultimate Quantum, but, so far... I either get excess suds which hander my Bosch Dishwasher, or results that are not really out of this world. I get far better results, and SAVE MONEY, by using conventional Cascade Complete Powder with a little added STPP.

Not only that, but, I've actually been rinse-aid free for close to two years now. I used to leave my dispenser at 1ml, but, I really don't see a huge increase in shininess. The built-in rinse aids in many powders do a fantastic job.

As for the member who suggested Pre-Washing the Dishes? All I've got to say is - Fuhgeddaboudit!

Cascade Gel in the Bright Lime Green Bottle (Only the Lime Green), Palmolive Eco Gel, and the Store Brand Ultra Shine Dishwasher Powder from the Dollar Tree.

The Original Cascade Gel is probably my favorite of the 3, but, the Powder from Dollar Tree is a good product.

My late husband had the most delicious and clever sense of humor. While in college, we lived in an older multi unit apartment complex. While preparing Sunday breakfast one morning, the toaster started to smoke and spark. He took it apart to see if something got caught in the wiring, when out fell a dead, black roach. Without even a pause he announced "Well, there's our problem. The engineer died."

I think Palmolive has discontinued the Eco detergent in the white bottle...can't find it anywhere now.

Palmolive Eco

So what is Palmolive Eco being replaced with?

 

[launderess]

"I think Palmolive has discontinued the Eco detergent in the white bottle...can't find it anywhere now."

Amazon, Walmart, OfficeDepot and other online retail seem to have it in stock.

[askolover]

It is no longer listed on Palmolive website. I'm sure there's still some stock out there but my Walmart doesn't even have a spot on the shelf for it anymore and Walmart online (their own site not someone else piggybacking) says out of stock. Palmolive doesn't have any dishwasher detergent listed, just dishwashing liquids.[this post was last edited: 5/31/2023-04:06]

palmolive eco complaints

I've heard that this stuff left film on peoples' dishes.

 

[askolover]

My mother and i have used it for years without any issues.

Finish

I buy the Finish gel from Amazon. It has a chlorine ingredient and works well.

2 words for prewashing dishes

Quit it!

 

[wayupnorth]

Jerome, Quit it. I WILL rinse my dishes off before loading and then they dont stink a week later when I turn the d/w on.

 

[panasonicvac]

Same

I'll also continue to rinse my dishes out before putting them in the dishwasher. Helps keep the dishwasher look and smell alot more cleaner, helps prevent from clogging up the dishwasher (that happened to me before not just once), and not all dishwashers will do a very good job. My aunt bought an LG dishwasher a couple years ago which she hates because it doesn't clean that very good like her old Maytag so prewashing is basically a requirement for her.

 

[donprohel]

Now that you make me think about it...

I run dishwasher every two or three days, but I run the "Rinse & Hold" program every time I put something in: does this count as pre-rinsing? Because actually the dishes are pre-rinsed when they are washed

 

[ultralux88]

I Insist on the detergent having bleach as well...

And I'll be shitminced if my detergent doesn't;'t have STPP in it too!
During the 'rona, when Cascasde Fryer Boil became difficult/expensive to get (I was buying the cases of 6) I switched to this stuff, am exploring options for getting it more wholesale in price as well.

 

[gelaundry4ever]

dishwasher detergent

Is there any dishwasher detergent with bleach anymore? It seems most of them went the way of enzymes.

 

[ultralux88]

I forgot to add

I don't scrape or rinse the dishes, I turn the plate upside down over a sink with a disposal, what falls down will get rinsed down the thing, and what sticks to the dish goes in the washer. I even run stainless skillets through with the cooked on stuff on it. I will not own or use a dishwasher that can't handle this type of use, I feel pr-rinsing is a waste of time and water, and I just simply refuse to have any part of it. The dishwasher definitely does NOT get nasty or smell bad, and the dishes come out spotless. I also always use the pots and pans cycle, have been disappointed with normal in the past. I'll sometimes use cascade gel, the non-bleach stuff, in the pre-wash if there's a lot of starchy or very oily residues. If someone runs the dishes with only the gel in both washes, the dishes come out smelling like dog slobber...

I was looking at detergents at Walmart last week and happened to pick up a bottle of "original Cascade gel".  It did not have the Clorox logo on the label but the ingredients listed sodium hypochlorite.  I'm still using that Premiere powder with good results.
