I just use Cascade complete. I had some electrasol with bleach and wasn't as impressed with it. If you insist on using both kinds, I would hope there's a rinse between the pr-rinse and main wash. So on your machine, that most likely is only Pots & Pans cycle. My stuf can sit for up to a week with no probs, even in the new Kenmo Elite.

Unless your dishwasher reaches uber-hot water temperatures for the wash cycle, enzymes are fine. According to both Cascade's and Electrasol's websites their enzyme detergents are designed to work in water temps of 120F to 140F. Now that enzymes do need is time to work, hence I really do not add that much detergent (Cascade Pure Rinse) to the first cup. Do add a nice healthy dose, depending upon load size/stain level to the main wash cycle which by nature is longer. This is probably the rationale behind all those dishwaher detergent tablets, liquid pacs and so forth that are designed for use in the main wash only. L. |
