I drastically reduced the detergent and then ran a second short cycle of just water for an extra rinse. Still kinda taste the soap. Guess I’ll be rinsing everything myself. :/

(The only Finish easily available is a $16 1L bottle and I didn’t see another gel so I’m not doing liquid unless I find something cheaper.)

Next time I’ll look for something that will take many small things too, rather than a few large/tall things.

Ps. If you have sensitive skin be careful as QV Wash has changed to something much runnier and harsher with shimmer I don’t remember it having. It’s quite stripping and drying now (even on body and I don’t have dry skin). Might want to skip using it on your face because it just desiccated mine

You can fold the rack down if you haven't worked that out yet. Maybe try that. It might give you a better rinse.

The finish gel will give you about 6 months worth of washes. 1 litre ÷ 5ml = 200 washes.

I am learning a lot about dishwashing.

be sure to wash the filter , it may have soap and gunk in it

I can go do that, I just think I bought something that doesn’t fit my needs
