I'll be picking up another brand today.
I didn’t know anything about the change over, but we did thow out a near full box of the stuff because, after checking washer and finding it wasn’t the problem, it was the detergant
If you have a Costco in the area, try their “Kirkland” brand liquid dishwasher detergent. My new dishwasher and I have loved the stuff and it is almost as cheap as Cascade powder.
Can these people cross state lines to get phosphate detergents?
Thank you, Mrs. Z. I’ll give it a try.

No No No just have the dog lick the plate clean.
Do you have soft water?
We don't, and, since the change, Cascade Complete now leaves that nasty white film on all our dishes.
Can hardly wait for the CFL's to kick in.
> Do you happen to know what Cascade Complete has that their regular stuff does not?
The magic ingredient is: TriSodium Phosphate.
Liberals hate it and we won’t have clean dishes until we delete the EPA.
What will the government destroy next?
Oh, I can get behind that, Jack! /EPA!
(I could make a long list of other government acronyms that need to go, too!)

I haven’t seen posts here about the new he top loading washers. We have a new GE and use “he” detergent. Even with naturally soft well water I have to run whites through the “heavy wash” cycle twice with bleach the first time and rinse twice. Same issue with my husband’s work jeans. The washer’s idea of “agitation” would best be described as “mildly disturbed.”
How does this save water or electricity?
It has "Grease Fighting Power of Dawn" plus "Shine Shield" (whatever that is). Half of it is a blue liquid that looks like jet dry. Maybe I'm not picky enough. I moved into this house last year and this was the first dishwasher that I've had in 20+ years. My dishes are clean with no streaking, I'm happy. :-)
We don’t own a dishwasher. Looks like we won’t be getting one anytime soon, either....
It's a Fisher&Paykel, love it.
Thank you, RepublicAngel. I tried the Cascade with “the power of Dawn” (but not the Complete, with “Shine Shield” because I already use JetDry).
Switching to the “power of Dawn” product slightly improved my diswashing results, but it was in no way comparable to the old product where the dishes were squeaky clean. I frequently have to put several dishes back in the washer because of small food particles left on them, as well as a gritty feeling all over the dishes.
I’ll have to give the Cascade Complete a try, too. Otherwise, it’s off to the hardware store for some bulk TSP.

LOL! Cats do an even better job :)
There will now be a seven day waiting period when buying Cascade.
Mewz...I was 40 years old when I finally got a dishwasher (we redesigned the kitchen).
I gotta tell you...having one is a convenience on a regular day and a blessing on the high-traffic days like Thanksgiving. It’s great to be able to prepare your food and wash the prep stuff while the grub is cooking, then wash the cooking gear while you’re eating, and then load the thing up one more time to wash the actual dishes while having dessert.
(The dessert stuff can wait ‘till the next day.)
Meanwhile, your kitchen doesn’t look like a hurricane blew through it right after dinner and you don’t have to go in there and say...”Oooo boy. Where do I even start?”
But after reading this thread, I can’t say I blame you for your reluctance!
