Keep your detergent fresh and

dry.

place to store detergent because

moisture. Don’t

put powder detergent into the

dispenser until you’re ready to wash

dishes. (It won’t be fresh OR dry).

If your powder detergent gets old

or lumpy, throw it away.

Old

detergent often won’t dissolve.

If you use a

liquid

dishwasher

detergent, these precautions are not

necessary because liquid detergents

don’t “lump” as they age or come

in contact with moisture.

You’ll find two detergent

dispensers on the inside door of

your dishwasher. Two, because

some cycles use two washes.
