Can anyone suggest a brand of dishwasher detergent that works best? Some brands have bleach, so I would be interested in the experience of those who have tried this.

We have a Bosch dishwasher and Quantum Finish (Powerball) was recommended, and that was what I used. After I could not wear my hat in public, I wore it for 2 years to do yard work, and figured it was worth a try. You can imagine how pleased I was when it came out clean!!! I WILL wear it the next time we go to Disney.

I would not use No Bleach & No Citrus. I used regular dishwasher soap and I didn't like the little bit of residue left behind. I hand wash and dry all my Zwilling silverware.

It's from the new and improved non phosphate detergent we all have to use now. My pots and pans blued and the flatware started to have rust spots on the knife blades. Also a white film started to cover the dishwasher interior and my black nylon cooking utensils. You can use Bar Keepers on them. I'd use the liquid. Or do as I do now. I sprinkle a small amount of Citric Acid into the detergent containers on my dishwasher. I bought it on Amazon. I also changed detergent to biokleen. No more bluing, no more rust spots, and no more white film. My stainless steel pans shine again.

I have washed mine about 4 times and have had no issues. I wash and dry on delicate and I don't use bleach just regular detergent.

I used this in combination with other stuff and in my laundry where I could not use bleach and yes we got rid of the problem. I had tried sprays first and they did not work so I tried this and we finally got rid of them!

The set I have has gone through the dishwashers countless times n still comes up perfect. Maybe the set u have is a dud. The only solutions would try to get a replacement from company or just hand wash once u get the spots off sorry

Hi Ronald, I have placed my in the dishwasher several times (after cleaning raw meat in the sink, I definitely want to run it through the dishwasher!) and it still looks good as new after 4 months. I use Cascade brand "pacs", so it's a pretty a pretty strong detergent and I haven't seen any ill effects.

Also I have been using this brand for over 5 years and think it works very well. Gets my dishes clean and works well. the person that said it doesn't work well I would have to say that possible it might be there dishwasher not the products from my experience.

We have extremely hard water. We use Bubble Bandit Dishwasher Detergent and add TSP. This combination has worked well for us. Plus Bubble Bandit has a clean smell! :)

Sure---it beats using chlorine-based products! HOWEVER, I would not risk dumping the product into the dishwasher and turning it on. What you CAN DO is to put a tablespoon of the powdered lye into a container and add about a quart of water to it. Then dump that into your dishwasher and let it splash around inside. Or--a better way--would be to put the lye-and-water solution (above) on a rag and wipe down the inside of your dishwasher. I've been using lye in water for several years now instead of harmful chlorine and it has really saved my bacon when family members are coughing and sneezing all over everything. I add it to my dish water (use it with Dawn detergent), and use it to clean surfaces. After all, lye was the basis of Lysol! Your own homemade "Lysol" is cheaper, fragrance free, and works very well.

I put mine in the dishwasher to wash it. Otherwise, I would suggesting putting in a mild solution of bleach and see if that works.

I use regular laundry detergent, no fabric softener or bleach. The fabric softener would act as a barrier for absorption. The tag on the pads say to machine wash and tumble dry.

I just use regular detergent but I always hit any and all stains with oxy stain remover before put them in the wash. Works wonders. I hope this helps..

Use the regular blanco cleaner. But, I can tell you that it's a waste of money as it doesn't work at all. It's a rip off. We have purchased and tried it several times and it really does very little if anything. We keep our Blanco sink in great SHAP and clean it all the time, however the material that it's made of attracts stains. We use SOFT SCRUB. IM PRETTY SHURE THEY MAKE IT WITHOUT BLEACH. NEVER USE BLEACH IN A BLACK SINK. HOPE THIS HELPS

I have a 4 part recipe that is better than any dishsoap I've ever used: 1 tsp Bronner's Sal Suds, 1 tsp Arm&Hammer; washing soda, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar poured in the bottom of the machine. Yeah it's extra trouble but it's safe, natural and dishes come out shiny and spotless!
