Hi Sean,

Ouch! I've appreciated having a built in dishwasher most everywhere
we've lived. IIRC, I started out using powdered detergent, soon switched
to liquid. When the tablets came out, I changed over to using them.
Easyest to use and not much of a smell, either. We keep them in a
plastic coffee can with a top so they're dry and their smell doesn't
spread.
