Has anyone watched the youtube video that compares using tablets to using powder in both the main wash and the prewash?
The premise is that you get much better cleaning performance by having some detergent present during the prewash, which doesn’t happen when you use a tablet.
I think it’d be interesting if Choice were to test this theory:
1 tablet
vs
powder in main compartment, prewash and then rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser
I still have some Earth Choice Dish Tablets left, so I’ve been using a tablet in the main compartment and Shine dishwasher powder concentrate in the prewash area.
I’ve tried it twice so far, but I don’t think I’ve had any loads dirty enough that it’d be all that obvious. The real test will be when I run out of tablets and I use powder only, but I’ll have to make sure I top up the rinse aid dispenser.
