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

Re: What do you use in your dishwasher....powder, gel or those little packs??

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.

we use cascade gel and it seems ok- sometimes it leaves spots on my glasses

Re: What do you use in your dishwasher....powder, gel or those little packs??

I use gel and the little packs. Also use the Jet dry.

Cascade liquid gel along with Jet Dry

Cascade gel

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.

electrasol gel and jet dry !

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

Re: What do you use in your dishwasher....powder, gel or those little packs??

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.

Cascade gel

Re: What do you use in your dishwasher....powder, gel or those little packs??

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.

cascase gel and jet dry. loooove the jet dry!

Re: What do you use in your dishwasher....powder, gel or those little packs??

I used the packs but think the gel works better, Cascade Complete. We hae Jet Dry but the ting has been full for 2 months... I don't think its using it but have no idea how to get it to work lolz
