    I have a Miele dishwasher and when i said to the guy who was repairing my Miele washing machine about using soap powder in dishwasher he told me not to do it . Something to do with all the foam and the pump working overtime .

    There was no foam at all.

    You must follow what the repair guy said.

    But there was no foam. A few years ago my dad picked up the normal "fairy" type washing up liquid while I was out, he didnt realise until I cam back as he had fallen asleep in the chair but the kitchen was like something from the 18-30 party. It took forever to get my kitchen back to normal.

    But I can safely say in my dishwasher with quarter of a teaspoon on persil type powder I havent had a problem and the dishes are very clean.

    I think you must remember to use the vinegar in the final rinse.
