The blue liquid is to help with hard water it is a acid base cleaner to help break down the calcium build up that happens with time. The spots or streaks is just the left over minerals that are usually in hard water. So the liquid rinse aid help a little at a time to break all the mineral build up.

@1:07 I never use the prewash side,. And only fill halfway with liquid soap in the main compartment,. But that's because I prewash them myself only since they sit in the sink until I can get to them since I'm usually at work from 9-9 and i use the dishwasher more as a sanitizer than a actual wash since I use a nasty dishwand,.seems like a good place for bacteria to grow

I use the Cascade pods. A repairman, who was not in my house for the dishwasher, saw that I was using the pods. He told me to put them in the utensil basket, rather than the detergent drawer. This way, they start getting wet right away and the outer seal melts by the time the wash cycle starts. If it goes in the drawer, they are not release until the wash cycle starts and by the time the outer seal melts, half the wash cycle is over with, so you're not getting detergent in the wash cycle for the full time. Since this advice, I've been putting the pods in the basket and I noticed that my dishes and glasses were cleaner and better rinse than when I was putting the pods in the draw.

@valerieee3p 3 года назад

I will definitely be trying this!

@scottdavidson7543 3 года назад

Very interesting 🤔

@AlexanderCrump 3 года назад

Our Bosch has a pre-rinse cycle that drains before the machine re-fills for the wash cycle (when the detergent drawer pops open). Any detergent you put in the basket only sticks around for the pre-rinse and gets drained away before the wash cycle. What I do is put a chlorine bleach tablet in the basket and the detergent in the drawer. That way, the dishes get a bleach pre-rinse and then the usual detergent wash. They have come out better this way. Dishwasher detergents used to ALWAYS contain chlorine bleach, but I never see it in detergents anymore. I don't know why they stopped using it. I like the deodorizing and disinfecting I get from the bleach, and the washer tub smells so much better.

@tanyafromjefferson5484 Год назад

I’ll try this starting tomorrow!!

@user-ew6jy9mo4r 11 месяцев назад

Actually, the opposite happens. The pods will melt during the rinse cycle, which is MUCH shorter than the wash cycle, and then the detergent will be drained with rinse water. Your washer will spend the entire wash cycle without detergent. Go lookup how a dishwasher actually works.

As a highly experienced Appliance Tech Andrea almost gives you everything you need to know about dishwashers except for the most important thing I'm about to tell you now NEVER use gel soap which Andrea uses on a regular basis gel soap out of those green bottles that she uses will spell a quick death to any dishwasher within two to three years I always recommend pods but more than likely if you're trying to save money use powdered detergent. Gel soap almost never completely dissolve in a dishwasher gel soap will leave lots of soap scum in the tub and worse it will with regular use clog your filter screens and eventually clog your sensors and sump/motor assembly. She is correct which is something I tell all my customers always turn on the hot water before you turn on the dishwasher which will help dissolve the detergent and always wins your dishes the dishwasher is not a garbage disposal

We live in an area with hard water. The rinse aid definitely helps rinse the dishes well, especially glassware. 2 tablespoons baking soda helps detergent work better, and helps to deodorize the DW. I leave the empty DW door slightly open to air dry. This drying process cuts down on funky odors in the DW. Lemon juice or vinegar cleaning the interior of the DW once a month helps remove odors and film on the interior of the DW.

@careyjohnston4176 2 года назад

Andrea thank you for all the tests you try and practice in order to help us save money , time , and thinking of the safety of procedures. I have a helpful hint that most people don't know. And that is a lot of food is easier to clean off dishes in cold water. First thing is eggs. If you use hot water to try and clean off eggs , even warm water cooks the eggs harder to the surface. Using cold water the eggs come off so easily and with cold water the grease is in a more solid form which helps it run through drains better. When you use hot water with grease it cools as it goes down drain and sticks to more solidified grease in drains. If it is already in a solid form it runs through. These are my opinions from practices I have always used. They work for me. Another thing that can help if you have clogged drains. This was shown to me by a plumber. Was to put a very very large pot on stove. On high till it's at a rolling boil. This can be dangerous if you are not strong enough to lift and pour the pot. But pouring it down a clogged drain will most times clear the mass. You don't have to worry about caustic chemicals eating up your pipes. As I said. My opinion. Hope this is helpful to you.

@suedietzdebroise7002 3 года назад

I used to use rinse aid in my machine until the repair man told me not to and that this was the reason my glasses were going milky looking. I stopped using it and noticed no difference except clearer glasses. I live in the UK with very hard water. Keep up the great work Andrea Jean.

On vacation last year the condo had the Great Value brand of dishwasher tabs. They worked just fine in that older model dishwasher so that's what I started using when we got back home. They work just as well in my dishwasher as the name brand. I also use the Great Value rinse aid. It's the same thing just less expensive.

The Finish rinse works well for me especially when using powder. My light load setting never rinsed the glasses properly until I started to use the rinse.

@gilcatgillie 3 года назад

I was a service tech for 43 yrs. This is my advice. Never use anything pre measured. In your dishwasher or washer. The problem is every load is different. It could be too much or too little depending on the load and hardness of your water. I also found these things don't dissolve, clogging your dishwasher. This is what I suggest. Add detergent to the small cup, and lemi shine to your large cup. Fill your rinse aid reservoir with blue jet dry only because you can see when it's empty. Now, if you have soft water, you'll only need a teaspoon maybe a half of teaspoon of detergant in your small cup. And yes your rinse aid does help your dishes remove spots and dry. Always get water hot before you start your diswasher.

@dualactionwisewater3256 2 года назад

@@rynfornow3411 Powder or liquid. Those two. Also you can measure by the load more if heavily soiled less for small loads or if less dirty. Basically you can just throw it on the door because it uses it on the first pre rinse. That helps breakdown grease & soil. That's why her pre wash department has slits in the detergent lid on the right so to get water in there for the first pre wash. And it drains in the tub while spraying in the slit holes . That is a well manged system that's all. I use all 3 types. Liquid for prewashing it dissolves faster. And I use a Finish pod for the main wash for heavily soiled and super dirty dishes.

@lizjoyce5 2 года назад

@graciejones8583 3 года назад

I LOVE your channel! I was very glad to learn about running the hot water first! I vaguely remember something about my filter being self-cleaning. It was pretty clean, but I rinse all my dishes so I can use the one hour cycle. The screen around it had lots of hard water stains. You must not have really hard water or you’d know it. Steam irons and tea kettles get bad calcium deposits in them when you have hard water. (I bet you have a solution for that.) In just a few weeks I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks very much.

@aletheacrossman3011 Год назад

Pour an inch or so of vinegar into your kettle and heat it. Then I like to tilt the kettle over the sink so that the hot vinegar gets all inside and covers all the surfaces of the kettle. Just don't burn yourself. Dump the vinegar out. Rinse with water a few times. Every time I do this my husband comes home and says, "did we get a new kettle?"☺️

@MELANIEmel 3 года назад

@upstar6685 2 года назад

Many higher end dishwasher manufacturers recommend using a rinse aid. The really expensive models include information telling you why (explained by some of the other comments more scientifically below) If you have hard water you def want to use a rinse aid. Also, most of the upper end dishwashers do not have two detergent cups like your older Kenmore. Cleaning out the filter is very important and most don’t even know they have one. Thank you for your video.

@janetrichardson2644 3 года назад

Good advice. We built a house four years ago and we got all new appliances. We ordered our own appliances from a local appliance store. I got such an education on all the items we purchased. He was the one to tell me to “prime the pump” by running the hot water for a full minute before starting the dishwasher. We have extremely hard water. After having mixed results with using the manufacturer recommended dish tab (the one with the red ball in the middle), he suggested trying a plain dish tab without the additives and using rinse aid. Wow, what a difference and significantly cheaper. I swear by the Costco brand of dish tabs which are roughly 9 cents each and I use generic rinse aid. My cost went from around 40 - 50 cents per load to around 13 cents a load. The liquid and powder dishwasher detergent are very hard to find as the dish tabs seem to have cornered the market. A huge portion of the laundry aisle now is the laundry tabs. The liquid and powder detergent are much cheaper to use per load than the pods.

@patriciaoswalt6464 3 года назад

I will have to try the Costco brand, thanks! I do use the powdered Tide from Costco for my laundry, I hate the scum that liquid detergent leaves, I think it gums up the washer.

@spencerwilton5831 3 года назад

Janet Richardson Running hot water for a minute? What a ridiculous waste. I can only assume you're American with typical US junk appliances. Why would you waste as much water as a European dishwasher uses in an entire cycle? Why don't US dishwashers heat their own water like a European one does? Every time you run a tap for a minute you're wasting ten to twenty litres of water- water that was at one time heated but has presumably gone cold sitting in your pipes. So you flush it away, leaving your pipes sitting full of yet more lovely hot water that just goes cold again. Next time, buy a European style dishwasher. It will do a better job, use less water, less energy, less detergent and be significantly quieter too in all likelihood.

@janetrichardson2644 3 года назад

Spencer Wilton I agree but my dishwasher is a Bosch. This is recommended by the manufacturer. In many parts of the US we are required to have tankless water heaters in new homes so the hot water is not instantly available. There is no tank of hot water being reheated constantly. So this is supposed to be more energy efficient and the tankless water heater lasts longer than traditional water heaters. Even with adding a booster to recirculate hot water, it still isn’t hot enough to wash the dishes immediately. I moved from an older home in another county and we had hot water almost instantly but in the new home in a different county, the standard is a tankless water.

@patriciaoswalt6464 3 года назад

My parents bedroom and kitchen is farthest away on the other side of the house. I get hot water almost instantly. While my parents would have to let the water run in order for it to get warm enough to shower.

Here in the UK all dishwashers are cold water fill with integrated water heater. They did the same with washing machines quite a few years back which used to have hot and cold supply, but now only cold! I have a Kenwood £180 dishwasher and use Tesco lemon tablets. I do not use rinse aid. (Soft water) Run it on a 30 minute fast wash every time and it's fine. I rinse off excess food with cold water before washing. Soak baked on stuff in cold water before washing. Make sure not to block the spray direction with poorly placed dishes or pans. Tall cutlery or large trays can stop the tab dispenser from opening if they impede it !!! This can also result in poor wash and undissolved tabs or partially dissolved ones. When 30 minute cycle is finished I remove all plastics and cutlery tray as they dry better out. Leave the rest until morning with the door ajar when they're all dry. What's the mad rush about wanting your dishes washed and dried in a couple of hours! Just buy some more plates, which works out cheaper than running long washes with drying cycles. We have an 18 place setting and a 12 place setting! Table seats 10 when grandchildren visit. Remove filters etc once a month and soak in bleach solution. Scrub with large nail brush ( quicker than small toothbrush) Wipe out inside dishwasher and don't forget to remove all old water and gunk from filter hole. Grandad's role, granny not allowed near the dishwasher!

The biggest problem with any appliance is that no one reads their instruction manual. It’s not packed in the box as a cushion, it contains valuable information. Older GE dishwashers had a small disposal in them that ground up any debris left on 5he dishes so their wasn’t a filter to clean. They added to the noise level so they stopped them..Almost all have filters that need periodic cleaning.

Tide Pods come with a childproof container to store their pods. You could keep one of your empty tide pod boxes and fill it with your Cascade or Finish pods to make them childproof, too.

@lynhanna917 2 года назад

if you have recycling bins check there for empty tide pods or put it on your facebook group that you are looking for one. I needed plastic pails with lids for chicken feed and found what I needed in the recycling bins - cat litter pails (empty of course). And for foamy hand soap I asked around for an empty bottle and it is still going strong three years later and I put two tablespoons of dish soap the rest warm water, so the soap mixes well and my cost for each refill is two cents.

I have been very sick since 2016. I clean but even though I knew about the filter in the dishwasher, I did not clean it. This week I purchased from Amazon Finish’s dishwasher cleaner for grease and lime. I ran it yesterday. Tonight after watching your video, I took that filter out. It is clean as a whistle. Apparently Finish’s $3 and change product works well. I’m very pleased.

We clean our filter every week as recommended by our appliance retailer. They also discouraged the use of packs because they can clog your drain pipes. I've also used Tang drink mix to clean my Dishwasher, the Citric Acid will dissolve the crud and build up inside your tub. Thanks for sharing all these helpful hints and making our lives easier and more efficient.

Hi Andrea Jean! I use the Cascade pods like you have there and I really love them because they even remove old etching from glasses after a few washes.

@stevenlangland4385 2 года назад

My appliance dealer and service man recommend using powder detergent because it dissolves better and washes/rinses away far better than the pods or liquid. One video said the pucks don't dissolves well and the plastic layer can gum up your dishwasher. I've tried them all but stick with powder.

Andrea, a trick I learned from a repair man. To clean the dishwasher when it is empty, fill the soap dispenser with Tang drink mix and run it through a wash cycle. It scrubs the walls of the tub and cleans the spray arms and the sprayer holes. It works very well. Try it and let us know what you think.

@THX..1138 3 года назад

The white film or spots is calcium from the rinse water. If you have a lot calcium in your water you get a film, not as much you get spots. Rinse aid works by coating your dishes in a chemical that stops the calcium sticking to them....Instead of rinse aid I put vinegar into the jetdry dispenser the acid in the vinegar reacts with and removes the calcium from your rinse water and with no calcium in the water you get no spots....If you try it you may need to adjust the amount the jetdry dispenser injects into the final rinse, but at 1/20 the price of jetdry using a little bit more vinegar is not big deal.

I’m assuming that’s what they are talking about. I do see a difference with my dishes when I don’t use the rinse aide. In fact, I can tell when it’s time to refill by how wet my dishes are after the wash. More so on my grandkids plastic cups. Love how you cleaned your filter. It is amazing how disgusting that can get and gross you out just a bit knowing you removed cleaned dishes out of something that had a nasty filter. At least that’s how I feel.

@nelsonbrooks 2 года назад

You must use a rinse aid with dishwashers like Fisher Paykel. Their design makes use of the stored heat in the dishes & flatware, with a rinse aid that disperses the water droplets with a sheeting action. As the droplets spread out, they take up more surface area, which makes for more complete dish drying.

@Ardacalya Год назад

Whether I use one of the solid blocks or one of the pods, I always put them in the utensil basket and never the little dispenser. If I'm using a hard block, I break up the block. Makes a huge difference, especially for a shorter cycle.

@set3777 8 месяцев назад

Sorry, what you do is incorrect. There are usually two dispensers one for prewash and one for mainwash. The mainwash dispensor only opens when the machine has reached the mainwash (2nd) cycle. Detergent in the prewash dispenser is used immediately during prewash cycle. If you put your blocks or pods in the utensil basket or into the filter area, then the blocks or pods are all used up during the prewash cycle only and no detergent is left for the mainwash cycle. Best of both worlds would be to put your blocks or pods in the mainwash dispensor and then still add some powder or gel in the prewash dispenser (or the recess in the dispenser lid for some machines).

@vicjak3000 3 года назад

You’re going to love me after you read my comment/advise. I always put dishwasher powder/liquid not just inside the sealed lockable compartment, but most importantly also outside of it. Logically answer yourself this question, when is the detergent required the most, when the dishes are the dirtiest at the beginning of cycle or halfway through when they are already partially rinsed by just pure water? The answer is Off course when very dirty at the beginning. So I always split my dishwasher powder between sealed compartment and outside, effectively it gives your dishes a prewash. Most dishwasher actually have designated space for this reason, sometimes uncovered, sometimes under the the main flap slotted section. Frankly my “half “ of powder outside is alway bigger then locked “half”. It also has another benefit apart from cleaning your dishes better, it keeps your dishwasher’s drainage pipes clean, that’s because all this greasy stuff from initial wash is dissolved by the powder you’ve put outside of locked compartment and does not stick to the drainage. For this reason I have never ever used any of those heavily advertised “dishwasher cleaners”. You will notice it yourself when cleaning the filter (still have do it regularly, it’s compulsory), it won’t have this whitish gluey coat that is hard to remove. After 20 years of service I have replaced my old dishwasher with new one and guess what? The drainage pipe was so clean that I have not changed, just reconnected it to new machine. Another tip, when you’re installing your dishwasher, connect it to hot water supply pipe instead of cold. Don’t bother with all in one tablets or pods, always use dedicated powder/liquid and separate rinse aid. By the way rinse aid really makes the difference ton achieve spotless dry dishes. P.S. obviously I am a dishwasher freak.

@tammymoore1637 2 года назад

This was great and information. One note on the rinse aide- was told by dishwasher repair man ( repair call due to brand new dishwasher foaming and leaking. ). It wasn’t the dishwasher. It was using the multi colored pod ( don’t remember which brand) and the rinse aide at the Sam time. He said the tri colored pods have rinse aide in them. So if you add rinse aide and use the tri colored pods it creates too much foam and will cause dishwasher to leak. Anybody else experience this?

@GarreTTTurncoaT 10 месяцев назад

I currently have 2 homes, one in northern and another in southern California. I don't use a rinse aid up north but if I don't keep the rinse aid compartment filled down south, glasses are left with a slightly gritty, slightly milky film ... add rinse aid to a follow-up cleaning and the film disappears. IMO, inexpensive store brand rinse aids work equally as well as Cascade or Finish rinse aids. Also, I have noticed that for cleaner dishes, I throw those directly onto the bottom of the tub OR in the compartment WITHOUT closing and latching the compartment door (thus, when closing the dishwasher door, the pods drop onto the floor of the tub). A commenter (Craig) mentioned a repairman told him to use Tang to clean the dishwasher. I didn't even know Tang is still manufactured, but will definitely give it a try. Thanks!

@JPTech933 3 года назад

Great video! Most important is that filter.. yes gross but will extend the life of machine and dishes will be cleaner. The rinse aid does work it softens hard water, so that glass comes out with no spots, does it dry faster no, that's just marketing. I buy the liquid detergent as well as soon as it's on sale, it's the best value. And your recommendation to run the hot water before starting the dishwasher does help because as you said the water going into the dishwasher is supposed to be as hot as possible. Sani or boost or NSF certified (National Sanitation Foundation) It indicates that your dishwasher is capable of heating the hot water enough to kill almost all bacteria, germs and viruses.

@fayeldredge3211 3 года назад

My dishwasher was leaving a residue on my dishes that would NOT come off. Period. I stopped using it for years until I saw a Facebook post where they were talking about dishwashers and the fact that in Florida the manufacturers were forced to remove phosphates from dishwasher products (probably other products as well). I read that using Lemi Shine to first clean your dishwasher and then using Cascade Platinum was the ticket. It worked! Now after years of not using my dishwasher, it's working perfectly again. I've been using the little pods (Family Dollar store brand lately... and it works) with the Jet Dry rinse aid. I have never cleaned the filter like she showed. I will be checking that out today. And I may switch to the liquid Cascade Platinum if there is such a thing. Also will be filling the little extra detergent compartment. Thank you!

Also - I have soft water so I use very little detergent, but have still found the need to use Lemi-Shine rinse aid even though we are cautioned not to use too much w/the soft water or it will cause etching on the glasses. But how does one use less when the dishwasher has control of the quantity?

I purchased a new Frigidaire dishwasher in November. The store I purchased it from said that newer dishwashers are designed to work more efficiently with pods vs. liquids and powders. We were also told by the installer that if we didn't use Cascade pods since that is what Frigidaire recommends, the unit wouldn't be covered under warranty. Our former dishwasher was almost 20 years old and we used liquid. When they removed the machine to install the new one, the prior homeowner must of used powder because the drain lines were caked with undissolved powder. I can say that after using liquid and now the pods that the pods definitely clean better.

Great video that reminded me to clean out my dishwasher filter! Not all dishwashers are created equal, so not all tips are universal. For example, my dishwasher was designed for tablet use and does not have a pre-wash dispenser. Dishwashers have a function to heat up water for washing and some dishwashers are not even set up to the cold water feed, so cold water isn’t as much of an influencing factor. I do notice a big difference when my rinse aid is running low, and depending on hard vs. soft water influences outcome. Thank you again for the video, great topic!!
