I haven't found a good detergent that doesnt leave the pans spotted. Let me know if you find one.

I have been hand washing. Cascade has not worked well on my pots in the dishwasher.

One gallon water, one cup castor oil, one cup Dawn dishwashing detergent. You can substitute for Dawn, but I like it best.

I have used laundry detergent but it does not rinse well. This product cleans better and rinses well. Also deodorizes very well.

Besides putting it in the dishwasher, I'm puzzled about it still feeling greasy after washing. I am in total agreement, with the ones that recommended Dawn dish soap. It's really the best, for so many things. That and good hot water.

I wouldn't put it in a dishwasher. Warm water and mild soap should do the trick...........Hope this helps

My problem was white powdery substance on dishes, utensils, etc. Entire bottom, sides and back of dishwasher had white residue. Called appliance company and this product was recommended. Additionally, I was told to try liquid Cascade. This worked fabulously. The dishwasher and dishes are sparkling clean. I have not had a problem since using Glisten just one time. Long story short it cost $65.00 (no repairs needed) for this information. Hope this helps!

For hard water: use 1 cup soap flakes, 1 cup washing soda, and 1 cup baking soda.Note: This recipe can be safely used in HE washers.

Hi, I do not think Dawn will work on the dishwasher as it is plastic. The plastic booster Maytag suggests does work on plastic food saver dishes. You can try it but I would also consider a cleaner with a bleaching agent. It sounds as if the inside of the dishwasher has lost its resistance to food staining. If you are able to clean it, I would suggest sealing it with a countertop wax/sealer to protect the finish.

I would recommend a soap like dishwashing soap ( Dawn or Palmolive ) as they leave no residue like clothes detergent will.

I just use regular dish washing soap that has anti bacterial fighter in it. Something like Dawn or Palmolive. There is a ratio of soap to water with the soap being much less. If you use too much soap it will gum up the dispenser. Check on the internet for a good ratio and 'don't shake' it once mixed. It's better if you just flop it sideways a few times to mix it. Ours has worked well so far. Good luck !

I've used various cleaning solutions but water and some liquid dishwashing soap works great.

I mix powdered dish detergent to TSP in a 2:1 ratio (roughly). In the future I might use less TSP, but it manages to keep the white fog from sticking to plates and glasses pretty well this way.

I don't own a dishwasher. As a water softener?, I cant answer that. Google this question to see a dishwasher detergent recipe that some people are using. Sorry I wasn't much help.

I just toss mine in the dishwasher every week, seems to work well. They make a bottle cleaner brush that I guess would work as well if you feel skeptical about your dishwasher.

I have been using "packet" style dishwasher detergent since they were first on the market and I've not had a plumbing problem with my dishwasher, ever, knock on wood.

I have a little brush that I picked up at General Dollar Store, it hold dish washing detergent. I use my bacon tray and leave it in the sink soaking in dish detergent for about 2 hours then scrub with this brush. Look clean enough to eat off it.
