Just a  [beer] to Herm!

I followed your advice to not rinse the dishes before putting them in the dish washer.  It works [thumbsup]

It was the least I could do to repay you for the loan of the battery [Dolph]

I wish I could take the credit, but it was the old appliance repair man with the rusted out 1970's panel van who explained it to me

Glad it worked for you too[thumbsup]

That makes sense.

the discussion was about new dishwashers and today's dishwasher detergents. The education from the old repair guy was NOT to rinse stuff too much, as today's detergents need some crap in their for the enzymes to do their thing.....and that most people put too much soap in, which does not make things cleaner (think too much soap, and not enough water shaken up in an enclosed jar.)

Solution 1a- scrape, but don't rinse
Solution 1b- use the pre-packaged soap/rinse tablets

In don't scrape anything and use 1/2-2/3 liquid soap.

Seems to work :D
