Very interesting. Can you tell me what specific brand this is?

I’ll second the cascade platinum recommendation. I though my dishwasher was broken when we used another detergent brand. I took it apart to see if the filter was plugged and even put a GoPro camera and led light in it to make sure the washing arms were spinning. Turns out it was because we used a cheap detergent.

Not the person you asked, but Cascade dry powder detergent is all I need. No pre-washing necessary.

If you use a modern dishwasher and your plumbing is up to spec your dishwasher will be far more efficient then hand washing.

Cascade Platinum, thought I've gotten similar results from the "Complete" version one step down.
