    I’m assuming you either pre-wash your dishes, only use them for things that will come off with a light soak, or have a lower standard for clean.

    Because based on my personal experience, packing this close guarantees dishes are going to come out with oily residue or crusty bits towards the top where the water jets can’t reach.

      No prewash, no rinsing in sink, straight to the dishwasher. Dish soap can react with dishwasher detergent and actually cause to clean less effectively or leave white streaks.

      I always expect the dishes to come out perfectly clean, not oily and definitely no crusty bits !

      I use also the cheapest powder detergent, the amount is important, too much is not good.

      If your dishes come out oily or crusty, you should check the filter and clean it. Make sure the regenerating salt is topped up if your dishwasher uses that and the rinsing liquid topped up as well.
