I use gel


don't use the little packs...my BIL's father is an appliance repairman and he says the plastic often doesn't melt away and clogs parts of the DW

Cascade Complete Gel (has to be the complete!) and Jet dry, works the best for us.

Otherwise, there are yucky bits on the things.

I use the Electrasol powerball tabs and I use Jet Dry as well. I notice a huge difference in how my glasses dry if I don't have Jet Dry.

Cascade Gel along with jet dry but when we run out I have to tell you I don't notice a big difference when using jet dry and when not.

Cascade powder. I tried the gel but did not like how my dishes came out.

We've been using the powder recently because I keep getting coupons for it, but I alternate. I find that powder and gel can both leave residue on the glasses & dishes if you use too much of it, so I usually underfill the container just a little bit.

I just bought the gel and realize that I prefer the powder and like JessinCa said, I also underfill the container. But I do that with laundry, too.
