Dishwasher Accessories for the home

Now you have your brand new dishwasher and you probably have so many questions on
how to select the right dishwasher accessories for your dishwasher. Here is a bit of
information which may prove to be helpful:


Liquid gel or powder--which is better?


The type of detergent is a huge decision since we all just hate to see those ugly spots on
our dishes. Personally I prefer powdered/granular detergents over the liquid gels. I have found that liquid gels tend to leave a whitish film on all of my dishes which are hard to
come off.


I have also found that sticking to the name brands over generics in this area is Should
you clean the inside of your dishwasher?


This can be a tricky decision. If you use your dishwasher at least twice a week you
probably do not need to clean the inside. However, at times there can be a bad smell
from the residual water at the bottom of the dishwasher which then you should go ahead
and clean it.

You can either put some detergent in the soap dish or run the dishwasher empty or your local supermarket should have some cleaning tablets.


The big debate—to rinse your dishes before washing them.
Typically most dishwashers can handle the normal food residue left on dishes if washed
right after the meal and scraping the dishes prior; afterall those big chunks of food have
no where to go. Of course, if you have a pan with burned, melted or food stuck on them
then I would definitely rinse and scrape them well prior to washing them.


My cups and glasses are coming out spotty and filmy. What's wrong?
For spotting only, try using the heated drying cycle. If that doesn't help, try one of the
rinse-aid products you can find at your supermarket.

Film can be caused by a couple of things:
It could be from a lack of water flow within the dishwasher or it also could be from hard
water. If you can remove the film with vinegar, it's probably caused by hard water deposits.
Etching--a corrosion of the glass--can be caused by using too much detergent. A rainbow
hue on the glasses is the first sign of etching. Try cutting in half the amount of detergent
you use.
