Is your dishwasher sucking lately?
It's probably not the DW, but your detergent. The manufacturers had to change the formula.

The woman in the story is a bit whiny and ridiculous, but it's good to know why my stuff is coming out with a greasy film on it. It's been driving me crazy. I'm glad they changed the formula, sounds like the right thing to do. I'll just buy the brands that have been phosphate free all along until the rest of the manufacturers figure out how to get shiit clean without the phosphate.

Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.

That explains a lot!
My bigger problem is that once or twice a month the dishwasher tabs don't dissolve.
I have always pre rinsed with sponge and dish soap.
My Nana took hold of the dishwashing chip in my brain - It's not clean unless you know it's clean.
But it does explain the weird colors on some of my pots lately... I couldn't figure out why the outsides were turning blackish.
That woman is a moron.
But this is very interesting! I've always had crappy dishwashers since I moved out of my parents house, so I'm used to pre-washing things. In our new place, I found I didn't have to pre-wash but then the silverware started to get gross specks on it so I started pre-washing all the dishes again. I'll have to look into getting better detergent. If anybody knows of a good brand, let me know!

Mr. Winged is wise. Dishwashers are like taking a bath, and hand washing is like taking a shower. With the former, you get generally clean, but there's still a certain amount of stewing in your own filth. Handwashing guarantees total pure water rinse off.
