Dishwasher Detergent: What to Buy and Why

Detergent is the core of every wash. But not all formats work the same — and choosing the wrong one can leave dishes dirty or damage your machine over time.


Why this happens

How to fix it

1

Start with all-in-one tablets if you're new — they include rinse aid and salt function.

2

If you have very hard water, use powder or tablets plus dedicated rinse aid and salt separately.

3

Never use more than the recommended dose — excess detergent can etch glassware.

4

Store detergent in a dry place — tablets and powder absorb moisture and clump.
