the dishwasher detergent thing and the bleach

[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.

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]

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.

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.

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.

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.
