Costco makes some good things but this not be one of them. Return the unused portion for a refund, no receipt needed. I have found that Cascade tabs work really good, even drying any of the plastic Tupperware stuff.

I can't use any form of Finish or it suds up to the point I could hear my motor struggling. It also caused a lot of etching for me.

Compumom I think Larsi had/has fantastic results with Cascade complete powder in his Miele. However he does add STPP. I think he premixed the Cascade and STPP and than used 1 teaspoon.

I use the Cascade Platinum (I believe is the one) and they work great but I tell ya, I'm not crazy about how perfumed they are.

I agree on the finish pods....never liked Finish...also felt it etched glasswear, so for years and years I used Cascade, then it seems it became "new and improved" and as I use my sterling silver everyday, I was finding it was yellowing after one wash. My daughter told me to try the Finish pods....and I am hooked!!...not the tablets with that red thing in the middle....but the soft plastic pods.

I've been using 1/2 of a Miele tablet along with Finish rinse (blue liquid that replaced Jet Dry). It's expensive, but so was a new dishwasher! I also posted this on a Facebook cooking group and I'm not the only one who has had trouble with the pods in their dishwasher and some in their washing machines. I'm done with them!

Yesterday I returned them to Costco and the customer service gals were shocked when I showed them my photos.

The first time I bought the Kirkland, I packed it up after one use and took it straight back to Costco. I told the gal I was sorry, but the stuff just didn’t work. She looked me, grinned, and said, “Yeah, we get A LOT of this stuff returned.”

I just messaged Consumer Reports and told them about my experience. They should hear from real consumers!
