Having a dishwasher is a great addition to any household. But which detergent should you use? Below points out the main differences to help you make the right decision.
8 Tips to Help Your Dishwasher Run Better
Having a dishwasher at home is really helpful when things get a little busy after every meal. A dishwasher washes dishes and utensils both quickly and precisely, giving you the luxury of relaxing at home without having to worry about washing up after your meals.
Life hack: no detergent at home? Act like a pro.
If you’ve ever found yourself with a dishwasher full of crockery and pans only to discover you’ve run out of detergent, here’s a tip just for you. Instead of taking it all out and washing by hand, run the dishwasher at a high temperature without detergent. You might be surprised by the results. You won’t want to do this regularly, though, as the success depends on the degree of soiling and the length of the programme. But give it a try in an emergency. Whatever you do, don’t use normal dishwashing detergent – it can cause a build-up of suds and damage your dishwasher.

Where do you put a detergent pod in a dishwasher?
In this case, place the pod into the pre-wash compartment of the detergent cup or in the bottom of the dishwasher, according to the experts at GE Appliances. “These cycles are designed to be shorter, which could result in bad detergent wash-out if the detergent is placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent cup.”
Should you put dishwasher pods in the detergent compartment?
You should almost always put dishwasher pods in the detergent compartment, but there’s one time you shouldn’t. We asked appliance pros to explain.
Why should you use dishwasher detergent pods?
Using dishwasher detergent pods can simplify your dishwashing routine and ensure sparkling clean dishes with minimal effort. These convenient and pre-measured pods are designed to provide an all-in-one cleaning solution for your dishwasher, eliminating the need for messy liquids or powders.
Should you put a pod in a washing machine?
Experts at both GE Appliances and Bosch advise against doing this (except in one instance, which we’ll explain below), because when a pod is loose in the machine at the start of a cycle, detergent will be released too early, resulting in an inadequate amount of detergent for the actual wash cycle.
