Not slamming anyone who needs spiked DW detergents due to their
habits and/or local water peculiarities. Just saying that with the
water I have here, and my cheapy entry-level DW and lousy water
pressure, liquid Cascade (I think, the bottle is green) works fine.
I only fill the dispenser cup about 2/3 full, and don't use any
rinse agents or anything. I also keep 'auto dry' turned off, and
just crack the door after cycle ends. Perhaps baking the wet dishes
is one thing that promotes spots? Not curious enough to experiment.

Perhaps you're using an old bottle of Cascade, bought before the
phosphates were removed. The need for phosphate is not based on
"habits." It's based on the fact that phosphates are what does the
cleaning. We aren't talking about "spots."

I'll bet that's exactly what he's got. My son has a HUGE box of "pre
destruction" powder I'm thinking about stealing when he's not looking.

Not necessary. With your own box of detergent, a $2.50 box of TSP, and a
mixing bowl, you can create your own "dad's special formula".



oh i know, that's what i'm already doing. As a matter of fact, i just
mixed up a new box today.
