Quick Answer
Use the Dishwasher Detergent Starter Set by placing one tablet in the main detergent compartment and running a normal cycle. For pet bowls, skip the rinse aid to avoid residue.
Why Choose a Plastic-Free Tablet
Conventional dishwasher pods often come in plastic wrappers that don't fully dissolve, leaving microplastics on your dishes. The Dishwasher Detergent Starter Set uses 100% plastic-free tablets, so you get a sparkling clean without the environmental trade-off.
Using It Around Pets
If you wash your pet's bowls in the dishwasher, the same powerful grease-cutting formula works well, but you should avoid using rinse aid. Rinse aid can leave a film that may irritate sensitive pet mouths. Simply run a normal cycle with one tablet and let the dishes air dry.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Load the Dishwasher: Scrape off large food scraps from dishes and load them into the dishwasher. Do not pre-rinse—the tablets are designed to work on dried-on food. Pre-rinsing wastes water and can reduce cleaning effectiveness.
- Place the Tablet: Remove one tablet from the starter set packaging. Place it in the main detergent compartment of your dishwasher. Do not put it in the silverware basket or on the bottom of the dishwasher. Using the detergent compartment ensures the tablet dissolves at the right time during the cycle.
- Select the Cycle: Close the detergent compartment lid and select a normal or heavy cycle. For pet bowls, choose a normal cycle without rinse aid. If your dishwasher has a heated dry option, you can use it, but air drying is fine too. Skipping rinse aid when washing pet bowls prevents potential irritation from chemical residue.
- Start and Unload: Start the dishwasher and let it run the full cycle. Once finished, open the door and let the steam escape for a few minutes before unloading. Check that the tablet has fully dissolved—if not, your water temperature may be too low. If you see undissolved tablet residue, check your water heater setting (should be at least 120°F / 49°C).
