6 Ways Detergent Pods Are Ruining Your Dishwasher
Dishwasher pods, while convenient, can sometimes cause damage to dishwashers if used improperly. The concentrated detergent in pods may not dissolve fully in shorter or colder cycles, leaving residue on dishes and in the dishwasher itself. Over time, this buildup can clog the spray arms, filter, and drainage system, leading to poor performance and potential malfunctions. Additionally, the excessive suds created by some pods can overwhelm the dishwasher's mechanisms, causing leaks or even motor failure. It's essential to use the right amount of detergent and select the proper cycle for optimal cleaning and the longevity of the dishwasher.
