I'm using the last of the good Cascade Complete in the Frigidaire using both of the cups. But I'm only able to get Complete tabs to use in the Nautilus (which sucks in general) |

Gone are the good old days of
W-R-R-W-R-R-D in a normal cycle of an older D&M. Purge- R-W-R-W-R-R-D in an older Whirlpool (two covered cups) W-R-R-W-R-R-R-D in an older Kitchen Aid. Please correct me if my memory is failing. Yes a phase without detergent is effectively a rinse. I'm most fond of W-W-R-R-D to this day! Psychologically i like two final rinses. Although adding a chemical (rinse agent) to the final rinse water is still kinda gross, but often necessary. |

Maybe the answer will be a 2 part tab. I like two washes and may start using a powder for pre and what ever for main wash. |

....all the fuss.
I've never used or owned a dishwasher here or in Europe that had a cycle with 2 distinct, detergent required, wash cycles. If the programmes on the machine are set up correctly, it shouldn't be needed in the first instance.... ....and what an imposition on the consumer when it comes to product usage....sheesh! |

All dishwashers with one or more covered detergent cups release the contents of said cups at specific points in the cycle, which technically indicates those periods are intended to be washes. Of course, detergent doesn't *have* to be used for *any* particular phase of the cycle. Or, one can simply toss a dose of detergent onto the door liner and fire the machine up, thus making the first fill a wash and all the rest rinses. |
