Someone explained what type of #detergent is best for #dishwashers and #washing machines intuitively: "Always use powder. "Liquid", "tabs", "discs", and "pearls" are more expensive than they need to be, are often overdosed, and can damage your machines if used for prolonged periods. Did you ever meet a cocaine addict who said 'liquid cocaine and cocaine tabs are great!' No. That's the proof."
