Yeah. You have to be carefull with dishwashing soap in a dishwashing machine. You'll make that mistake only once. Trust me on that  :'(

coppercone2:
I mean I assume I am paying a premium on those things because they do the R&D to figure out how those chemicals break down. Or at least I hope so.

Unless you wash with pure washing soda you are unlikely to find soap that is really reduced in chemical content. I have my doubts about sniffing vinegar all day as well (as a cheap and natural cleaner).

I like the Bosch brand also, mainly because of the integrated water softener that is not found in most dishwashers in the US. However, it's difficult to find dishwasher salt in the stores here. Luckily, pool salt seems to be the same thing and works wonderfully. I got a 50 pound bag on sale for $5 that should take me a decade to use up.

madires:
Interesting! The integrated water softener is standard over here, and it can be adjusted for your local water hardness.

My pool is salt water but, just like anything with the name "pool" attached to it is automatically assigend a premium price, I ended up finding the bags for water purifier at Lowe's to be a bit cheaper still. 😁

For a dishwasher any option will have a very high ROI - just don't leave the unused salt bag in a moderately moist area as it tends to pack really tightly until it becomes a very heavy boulder... (don't ask me how I know this)
