Had to have the pump replaced in our 15 year old dishwasher recently. We asked the fellow who was installing the pump his opinion on getting dishes clean. His recommendation was to use granular dishwasher detergent in one of the “holders” and granular Lemi-Shine in the other one. We already use the Cascade with phosphates, and this half and half mix works very well.
Any idea what’s in the lemi-shine, besides lemon oil? Their MSDS lists the ingredients as ‘proprietary.’ I’m guessing citric or lactic acid, more likely the former.
