Waww mam... How detailed and deeply studied your video is. Nobody even goes to this level. I am simply impressed by with very first video.. will watch your other videos too.
Thanks @amol23dhage for your appreciation. There are different playlists of dishwasher videos in my channel. You can check them out.
Good share
Very useful
Long cycle means..eco like thing..
Milk cookers and sticky vessels not washed properly
So I use to wash a little and fill it in machine...
But my friends are saying they pit it directly..and use tablets..and a combination of 3hrs cycle..
Moreover my machine prompts e14 nowadays..
I used quick cycle 29 min..washing done but the board display is different..
How can I handle this..this shows after the washing is over..
All of your videos are really informative mam...I covered all of them. Thanks 😊
Thank you Sai Roja!
THANK you ,the voltas beko guy never explained enough maybe that why they stick to only tablet usage

I've explained about water hardness and salt and rinse aid settings in my Bosch dishwasher.
Yours being a Bosch machine the location and the procedure must be the same.
Thanks.
Hi mem
I suffered issue of detergent powder not dropping down after opening of detergent cabinet
Can we make the detergent powder to gel @ home
By mixing with water and preserve in bottle and use as detergent liquid/gel
I'm using salt and rinse aid
As per ur opinion and guidance....
Only one issue
Due to water leakage to compartment the detergent sticks there,,,and I think to convert it to gel or liquid,,,will it's effectiveness retain or any issue.....
very helpful video, thanks a lot
You're welcome Bhavesh! Glad you found my video helpful.
Much needed video mam
Keep it up

Nicely explained, 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you.
I enjoy your videos immensely, epecially related to Bosch dishwasher, which I bought after seeing your videos. A question: bosch dishwasher cover - yes or nah? Thinking of using covers for appliances due to ongoing construction nearby. Pls share your thoughts on the matter
Hi Mithibai, thanks for the appreciation. To go for a cover or not is an individual decision. Some people like to buy cover for everything, fridge, washing machine, etc. I am not against it but I do not favour it. Most of the covers are nylon/plastic sheet and moisture trapped between the cover and the equipment tends to affect the paint and also speeds up corrosion, especially in coastal, humid areas. This is my personal opinion.
In case you have construction dust issues which I believe should be temporary, you could cover with a old bedsheet, curtain, etc for dust protection till the construction gets completed. Anyway, finally it is your decision whether you want to buy a cover or not. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thanks for prompt reply. I'll go with old bedsheet 👍
Thank you madam, u explained clearly.

Hi Naveen Babu, good that you've purchased a dishwasher. You can ask her to watch my various videos on dishwashers, which will help her understand the basic working of dishwashers - how to fill salt and rinse aid, different types of detergent, water hardness, which dishes can be washed in a dishwasher and many such topics which are common to most dishwashers.
You can go through your Midea manual to get certain details about how to set salt and rinse aid in your machine. I don't think this will be difficult.
Thank you for your wishes, shall convey to my husband.
I am a theatre artiste myself. I too try to work in short films, web series and movies in small roles whenever I get an opportunity. Thanks for sharing about yourself.
Well explained 👌
Thanks Smita.
I saw some of your videos about dishwasher, excellent explanation. I want to purchase a dishwasher but, in a dilemma, how much will be my monthly expenses in terms of current, salt, detergent and rinse aid.
Nice videos, we can gain lot of information. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for liking my videos. You can watch this video which will give you answers for your queries.

There are totally 50 videos on dishwasher in my channel, which has FAQs 1 & 2, lot of demo videos of dishwasher usage, efficiency of various detergents, comparison between two brands and many more.
Hope you find them useful.

Thank you for your reply, I've gone through your link provided, I got a clear picture about the queries I have. Once again thanks for your various valuable videos.
Ur tips are very useful. Thanks for sharing the info. I am using lg dishwasher for more than 2 years. I used salt, rinse aid and detergent so far. Now I am started using tablets. Performance is fine. But Dishwasher indicates to refill salt and rinse aid. Should I change any settings??? Can u plz help???
Hi thank you. If you are using only tablets and are happy with the cleaning results, you can set both the salt and rinse aid levels to 0. That way both the indicators will not be ON, indicating a refill.
Hope this clears your doubt.
White foam is visible on vessels mam after cleaning with . They are silky and if v pour water on cleaned vessels, it is sticky like gum. Do v need to buy stabilizer and water softener device ? Can v use fortune, finish products also? Some people are using veniger, aarogya rock salt . Please clarify madam🙏🏻what are d parameters did u check b4 buying this when compared to IFB, Voltas beko, lg etc...
You can try different detergents and finally use the one that gives best results. Just check your water in a testing lab for Ca/Mg hardness and make settings of rinse aid and salt accordingly. It is not advisable to use vinegar and normal edible salt. Dishwasher rechnology is the same in all machines. Some things you can check before buying dishwasher are how many years the product is in market, brand reputation, service back up in your city, affordable price, etc. When I bought my dishwasher more than 9 years ago, only Bosch and IFB were available. I bought Bosch since I believed that the german brand will be very good in all aspects. And it has not disappointed. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for ur help
You're welcome Harsha.
Hello maam!! I have recently bought fortune detergent and it has worked better than ifb ..my vessels come out clean but still sometimes just a few plates or kadhai lid is not washed properly .i feel soapy layer on them even though they look clean..and somtimes the wash is not proper as i see white layer on lids which was very oily before wash..so Can i increase the salt and rinse aid setting because of it? And how much level should i try to increase for the first time..? Is there any issue if the salt and rinse aid level is increased to get better results even if all the plates are washed fine?
Can you please let me know your dishwasher brand, model and what your water type is (hard or soft)? Also what is your current settings of salt and rinse aid?
Thank you Mam. Recently bought Bosch Serie 6. Finish Tablets are expensive as hell. we dont have much brands here in Pakistan, there are 2 other brands, Fairy and Astonish. Tablet usage is a bit easy..
Thank you Saad. You could buy detergent too and use that occasionally for short duration cycles. Yes, tablets are convenient to use, but tablets are more economical when used in longer cycles.
Nice video mam. In bosch dishwasher between eco-mode(0.835 kwh for 3.30 hour) and 65 degree 1 hour cycle( 1300 kwh for 1 hour) which is more energy efficient.plz make video on how to save energy and electricity bill in dishwasher....
Thank you. Definitely I'll consider making such a video. Thanks for your suggestion.
Btw, I forgot to mention that the program of 3.30 hours at .835 kWh is most economical.
Thank you mam.
Mam we bought Bosch dishwasher with ur valuable tips u shared earlier.tomorrow there is demo,we get municipal corporation water in Hyderabad,so what tds settings should I keep for best results.pls reply
You can keep H1 and r1. This is what I have been keeping in my machine. Thanks.
Nice explanation... Want to do if we want to change existing detergent combo kit and I have left some detergent. Can I use some 6h 🙏🎉🎉🎉 hu
You can mix and match detergents, salt and rinse aid of reputed brands. But try out which combination gives good cleaning results.
Thank you. After watching your videos, I purchased bosch dishwasher and have really enjoyed using it. I've a question about finish tablets which I have purchased for the first time, from online store. On its package, the info mentioned is not in English. So, it is not clear if the date (numericals are in English somehow) mentioned there is expiry or manufacturing date. Any idea?
Hi Daisy, glad to know that my videos made you buy a dishwasher for yourself. Thank you.
Usually if it is an imported product the manufacturers would have mentioned the expiry date and the importers in India would also put a sticker with the expiry date. Please check for that.
@@BhuvanaAdi A readable date is printed on it by the manufacturer but it is not clear if it is manufacturing date or expiry date. But as the importer put his sticker (with streaked ink and no readable info) on that date to cover it, I am sure that it was expiry date printed (28 12 22) as you mentioned. Good thing is that after sharing all the related photos, the online store has refunded the full amount. Thank you for your prompt response. It makes me confident that I was not wrong in asking for that refund
If v buy water softener , do v still need salt to be added?in our area water hardness level is 300 to 370ppm in TDs meter madam.
@Latha C There is no need to buy separate water softener. For 300 to 370 ppm the water softener in the dishwasher will do the job. Just fill salt and adjust the settings to the correct level. Thanks.
Mam 1 week before i bought LG dishwasher.1st 2days 59 min i used.some of vessels not cleaned well.on 3rd day i used turbo+steam 1:25 time in this also 2-3 vessels not cleaned mam.on vessels some stains r looking.in this LG only without 59m and 1hr 25min less time is not their know mam.i think compare to bosch in lg timings r more.actually im not understanding lg or bosch which one is better.cleaning nd timing problem is not their in bosch is it correct mam.pls help me out mam.im waiting for your reply
Hi Kavitha, First check your water hardness and adjust salt and rinse aid settings accordingly. Cleaning depends on that. And choose program based on soiling of dishes and type of dishes. Turbo and express are short duration cycles but they also consume more power. Yes compared to Bosch some LG timings are more. But even Bosch has long duration programs if we choose some options. Use these short cycles only when required and not everyday. Try to use longer cycles like eco whenever possible as it consumes the least power. For most programs you don't need to choose extra options. Choose extra options like steam only when required not everytime. With time, practice and trial and error, you will learn which program is best suited for you. Thanks.
Very informative video. I am getting bubbles of finish detergent Powder whenever I fill it with water for drinking water. Please solve the problem
Hi Sheetal, have you adjusted salt and rinse aid setting based on your water hardness? Because you can get soapy dishes if rinse aid setting is high.
Check the quantity of detergent you use, it should be based on the program selected and on how soiled the loaded dishes are.
Finally, check if the program has proper rinse cycle.
M very late in buying dishwasher actually not yet bought one convincing my daddy and mummy is a task its not about the cost at all bt some thing that is not yet so general used so they are not convinced but forcibly going to buy one some day in near future have watched so many of your videos many times keeps my hope alive thank you mam so much for the efforts you have put on from so many years 😊
We indian are late latif they say i am flag bearer of the same.
Thanks one again coz of you m definitely going to buy one i.e dishwasher and yes after dishwasher it going to be cleaning robot 🤖 vacuum and mop separately i guess
Thanks Nainil, for your appreciation. Glad that you have watched many of my videos and you have kept your hopes of buying a dishwasher alive.
For a person who has been using a dishwasher for more than 12-13 years, I should say that a dishwasher will make your life much simpler and you will get lots of time for yourself. Not only that, the utensils cleaned in a dishwasher are hygienic, sparkling clean and dry to be used or placed in the shelves immediately, as compared to manual washing.
Moreover, you have the convenience of operating the machine any time of the day and wash as many loads of dishes as you have in a day.
Good luck to your purchase soon.
I love watching all your videos 💕 from 🇲🇾
Thank you.
Lot of clarity maam thank you for the clear and concise explanation, the detail and fine points are very much appreciated, being a first time user of a dishwasher this month.
Thank you Amrita for liking the video and finding it useful.

Thank you.
I have a question. Whenever i wash with tablet or detergent. The vessels come out clean ,dry and shinning but when i touch them with wet hands it feels slippery and I feel like it needs one more plain water rinse . Y so ? Pls help
Hi Chandini, please let me know whether you get this feeling after every wash cycle whichever is the program selected or in any particular program cycle only.
Also i would like to know about your water hardness.
Very informative
Thank you.
Madam first time I used company produced tablets for 2 months.now I want to use rinse aid, detergent & dish powder.When I opened the salt container there already filled with water.then what I have to do? How to add water.pl clarify my doubts
Hi Prachi, sorry for the delayed reply. Your comment has gone into spam. I just saw it.
I think you are asking about filling salt for the first time. Since you have been using the machine for two months, the salt compartment will have water in it. That is not an issue, you just add a kg of salt in it. Keep adding even if the water keeps coming out.
Similarly, add 60-70 ml rinse aid or till the compartment gets filled, in the rinse aid compartment.
You can watch my video on how to fill salt and rinse aid for the first time in the Bosch dishwasher by clicking the link below:
th-cam.com/video/H0Ro1rP59EQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you.
Excellent video... I had wrong notion that tablets only give premium wash quality compared to detergent... now understood clearly... important point was which ingredient needs to be dispensed at what time...thanks much for such a detailed info.
Thank you for finding my video helpful.
How is your english this good?
How did you learn?
Hello ma'am, nicely explained 👍,
i am using my Amazon basics dishwasher and Bosh detergent powder but i am not satisfied with the results, someone adviced me 4 all in one tablet, but i haven't use yet, i think Finish is good for dishwasher, kindly help 4 the same, thank you
Hi, sorry for the delayed reply.
Getting good cleaning in any Dishwasher depends not only on detergents, but also on correct placement of soiled vessels and the right program selection.
Detergent brands can be chosen based on your water quality. For eg. Finish brand is ideal for soft to medium hard water, Fortune and Vim gives good cleaning for hard water etc.
Tablets clean heavily stained vessels better than detergents as they have a few additional ingredients for breaking stains, cleaning, shining etc. 4 in one will definitely give very good cleaning.
But it is ideal to use tablets only if you have very heavily soiled dish load, using a longer high temperature cycle. Tablets will be a waste for normal or lightly soiled loads.
Also your salt and rinse aid setting have to be rightly done based on your water quality. Cleaning much depends on water quality. So check your settings.
Follow these and you will get good cleaning results.
I've uploaded many videos showing usage of different detergents and tablets, in my channel. You can find them in a playlist, the link of which I'm sharing below:

Hope you find my answers helpful.
Thanks.

Ma'am i have purchased Voltas beko 8 place dishwasher and been using from like 7 day, here my water tds is 900 and i have set my machine to h6 and rinse also at point 6 but I'm still getting extremely white cloudy layer on utensils I'm using finish product combo can you help me on it
Hi Mitesh, 900 TDS is very high. Finish detergent is more suited for soft to medium hard water.
Try our other detergents like Fortune or you can even try Vim tablet or detergent. These are more suited for hard water.
Please write to me the results after you start using any of these brands of detergent.

Hi Bhuvana can we clean fridge shelves in dishwasher
I think you are the right person to clear my doubt
Hi Renugha, by fridge shelves do you mean the glass shelves? I'm sure you can clean them in the dishwasher. I was actually planning to show this and other odd things that can be washed in a dishwasher. Shall upload soon.
@@BhuvanaAdi
Thanks for your concerned reply
Bhuvana
Mam can we keep iron and alluminium dishes plz reply.
Hi Kalpana, Actually manufacturers do not recommend. But if you have soft water, you can wash them in low temperature cycle and they do not get discoloured. This is based on my experience which is what I have shared. Please watch other videos in my channel where I have shown washing of aluminium. Thanks.
I bought a Siemens dishwasher on Dec 2020 and I had two troubleshooting issues. Once the door wasn't getting closed. And today even after switching on the machine isn't working.

Mam i have Bosch dishwasher using last 1 month. Now a days after wash cycle dishes are wet what reason. Using finish tablet
Hi Radha,
What is your Bosch model?
Have you set your salt and rinse aid levels based on your water hardness and filled salt and rinse aid?
Which program are you using regularly?
The Quick program does not have drying,.
You could use the Extra Dry option whenever required.
Once the program completes open the door and leave it slightly open for 15-20 minutes before opening the door fully. The dishes will dry in that time.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Ma'am finally I'm going to buy lg dishwasher ❤️😀☺️, Ma'am I need your suggestions. May I go with Amazon or offline market (like relience).
Hi, that depends on your personal choice. You have to compare where you are getting better price and better offers.
Some people are not comfortable buying online, they prefer buying in shop only.
In case you don't mind buying online, you can go ahead. Online has bank related credit card/debit card offers with no cost EMI etc. which you get at the click of a button with no documentation. Not all offline shops offer these and could involve documentation. Mostly online purchase has the option of return within 10 days if there is any problem. I have found that some sellers like Cloudtail are reputed and hence you can buy from such sellers. You could buy through my link below in case you decide to buy online -
amzn.to/3zE0z8N LG dishwasher White colour
amzn.to/3gHCqH6 LG dishwasher Silver colour
In case open box inspection is available, you can opt for that to check for damages during delivery.
Both online and offline purchases have their own plus and minus.
FYI, I bought my Voltas tabletop dishwasher from Amazon.
Finally it is your decision where to buy. Good luck.
Don't buy lg,there are some technical issues in wash programmes,if the power is gone then it will go to the starting stage,that is the main problem in LG dish washers.so go with ifb or Bosch.They have continuity program even though the power is gone.
Hi mam, should I put tablet for pre rinse program also?
There is no need of tablet for pre rinse.
Very well explained.👍👍
Thank you. 🙏
@@BhuvanaAdi In US and Dublin, my son's place, using only tablets. May be high quality. Water chlorinated.
@@visalakshikrishnan3127 thanks for sharing this Ma'am. I have also read and heard that in US and many other countries they have dishwashers without salt compartment. There are dishwashers like ours too.
But in those that don't have salt and rinse aid compartments, may be the water from source itself must be softened. Hence there is no need of softener inside the dishwasher, as per my understanding.
@@BhuvanaAdi or the tablets are of high quality. There for washing machine also they use tablets/ pods with 5 compartments.
Yes you're right. That is what I've explained in my video also. But not everyone can afford the high end tablets which are very expensive.
Hi mam, I recently purchased dishwasher....I live in Mumbai n here water is not hard....so pls tell me what all I need to use?? Only tablet is enuf for mee🙏 or rinse aid n salt is compulsory for every dishwasher....pls reply🙏🙏
Hi Kavitha, since Mumbai water is very soft, I recommend you use detergent at most times for most cycles. Fill rinse aid and salt but keep the settings at zero or minimum so that consumption will be very less or even zero. You could use tablets occasionally for long cycles and if the dishes are more soiled. I have explained these at the end of this video. Hope you would have seen that. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi thnku mam 😍
Another wonderfully explained video 👍👏
I hv installed a water softener . Started using tablet (Vim tablet) of late. Not using rinse aid and salt.
My personal experience is that I am getting clean vessels with the tablet . With IFB and Fortune detergent , I used to invariably get utensils with residues of detergent ( whether I use less , more or optimum ) .
Hv bought Finish tablets now. Will update my experience once I use it .
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for your appreciation.
That's nice to know about the water softener. As long as you're happy with your cleaning results that is what matters.👍
Definitely, I will like to know your experience with Finish.
@@BhuvanaAdi true that.
Thank you for the prompt response 😊
How about finish tablet results
@@passionfruit8226 I never used them. I was using VIM Tablet with rinse aid since long. As they are no longer available online , I tried Fortune tablets which are even cheaper than VIM. Results are really good.
Do we have to remove the wrapper on the tablet to use it ?
Hi, except high end tablets like Finish Quantum max, Vim tablet and few others, the wrappers of most tablets have to be removed before putting in the detergent compartment. Generally it will be mentioned in the main pack.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dear Ma'am, I am going out of station for two months and my home will be locked.Do such long duration will produce some harm to my dishwasher if it is not in use for 2 months ?plz reply ma'am.
Hi Shobhana, I don't think there will be any problem with your dishwasher, if it is not used for two months, provided you follow these:
- dry the interiors fully
- leave the door slightly open, don't keep the machine closed
- remove the plug from the socket
- turn off water supply.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thank you so much ma'am for your much needed guidance and quick response🙏. It's really helpful to me.
I just bought Voltas beko dishwasher a month back and tablet dispenser is not opening after first pre wash ,it's opening when 55 minutes is left in normal wash cycle . Can you please suggest what to do in this case? I contacted the person who installed but he said ,he can't visit due to lockdown. It was opening initially then stopped after 5 to 6 days . Thank you. I felt it stopped working after I used fortune tablets.fortune tablet spooled my utensils and dishwasher
Hi Ashima, do you still feel the locking lever of the dispenser is not moving smoothly. May something is blocking its free movement. Unused detergent/tablet spilling over and drying up could also cause this problem I feel. Is it still happening? And in all cycles? Try pouring some water on the locking lever and see whether it becomes free. If you feel Fortune tablet does not suit, please try some other brand tablet or detergent powder. If after all this, the problem still persists, I think you have to call for service person (and wait for the lockdown to be eased). Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks for your reply. There is no blocking in the lever . It's opening when 55 minutes are left in the cycle. It is supposed to open after 5 minutes. It's happening in all the cycles. I am not using fortune tablets anymore after using 3 to 4 tablets only my dishwasher had problem so I stopped. I wasted my money on 90 tablets 😭. I called the service guy but he can't come due to lockdown
You're partly right. Actually in Mini and Clean & Shine programs there is no pre wash. Hence the washing starts immediately and thus the detergent or tablet gets dispensed as soon as the wash segment begins.
In all other cycles, there is a pre wash segment wherein if you've added detergent in the pre wash compartment, it gets dispensed along with the pre rinse water. For this the compartment need not open as the detergent in the pre wash compartment will come out of the openings on the lid on that part.
Good video
Thank you.
Pl let me know whether 12 inch diameter plate can be arranged in the lower rack. Let us know the height of the upper and lower racks
Sorry for the delayed reply Suba. Are you asking in Bosch Dishwasher?
@@BhuvanaAdi No, I am asking about Voltas Becko Countertop dishwasher
Nice 👍
Thanks.
Are the warning lights for rinse aid and salt on while using Finish power ball supplied with the dishwasher?
Hi Debasis, the salt and rinse aid indicator lights up only when the salt and rinse aid compartments have to be refilled with the same or the compartment is totally empty.
If you are not going to use detergent at all and are going to use tablets always then you can set the salt and rinse aid levels to zero, so that they will never blink. But you can do this only if your water is very soft. But again for soft water, detergent is better than tablets as I have mentioned in the video.
So, you have to set the salt and rinse aid levels based on your water hardness.
Hope I've made myself clear.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks

Thank you for your video! I live in Singapore and finally got my Bosch Dishwasher. Am a bit confused…I was told by the guy who came to install it, that I don’t need to put salt since the water hardness here is 0.
Kindly advise. I usually have satisfactory results with the wash cycles, except certain steel pans and cookers…which have this rainbow film on it. This disappears when I rinse it out with a bit of vinegar….is it related to zero salt?
Thank you
Hi Sonali, I do remember you and your using a Bosch dishwasher for sometime now
Since your water is very soft, like you said there is no need to add salt. In that case, adjust your salt setting to H0.
In any case, the rainbow/blue colour you seem to be getting in some dishes is quite common especially in some types of steel. This is because of the reaction caused by the detergent and hot water.
Btw, I would like to know as to which detergent/tablet you're using on a regular basis.
They usually go off on washing as you've rightly said. Since you're able to clean them with vinegar, I would suggest you add rinse aid and keep in the low setting. You can increase or decrease the level of rinse aid setting based on your cleaning results.
Hope your issue gets fixed.
@@BhuvanaAdi Hi Bhuvana. That’s amazing that you remember! You deal with so many viewer queries…:) 🙏. Thank you for your reply.
I use Finish powder. I don’t use the tablets, as advised by you and another friend who also owns a Bosch.
My rinse aid setting is on 1. I changed it after you advised me…:)
I was using the eco mode setting, which is a 50C wash…and am now trying the auto mode. 40-60C. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I think the steel vessels seem to be a bit more shiny. The only (minor) issue is the film.
Thank you
Hi Sonali, my pleasure.
I do remember many of my regular viewers who comment or write to me with their queries.
You're right, Finish is perfect for soft water. You should definitely try out various cycles so that you can identify which program gives best results for the same kind of dishes.
Don't worry about the blue film. I too get sometimes in a couple of steel cookware.
You can definitely use rinse aid. I'm sure this should get solved.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thank you Bhuvana for replying so promptly…🙏 and for your patience with replying to all my questions.
Stay safe and the best to you…
Hi. Can we keep microwave oven (solo) on top of Bosch dishwasher? Weight of microwave is 10.4 kgs
Hi, whatever may be the weight of the microwave oven, it is not advisable to place it on top of your dishwasher. You can rather make a stand or shelf above the dishwasher and the microwave can be placed on that shelf. Hope I've made myself clear.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thanks
I use microwave only for heating for 30 secs or 1 minute. There is no grill/convection mode. Still can't I use?
Hi, I can understand your need. But the Bosch manual clearly states not to place any heating equipment like gas hob, microwave etc. above the dishwasher. They have mentioned in clear terms that the microwave can get damaged. You can check these under safety instructions in the first few pages of the manual.
If you still want to place it on top, you will be taking a calculated risk.
@@BhuvanaAdi Ok . Got it.
🎉
🙏
Nice video
Thanks Hina.
Mam I hav samsung dishwasher...but in bigger vessel like pot cooker there is white patches inside it after cleaning in dishwasher what is problem
Hi Nilambari,
Can you please mention your dishwasher model? Which detergent are you using?
Also let me know your water hardness and the salt & rinse aid settings.
Which is the program in which you find these white patches?
Which program cycle do you use regularly?
Once I know these details, I can suggest the proper solution.
Thanks.
Mam, plz provide details of your 2 seater sofa
@Shiva murthy, this two seater sofa is IKEA Knopparp. This was one of my first purchase there 3 years ago. I have made a detailed assembly video of that. You can watch that here - th-cam.com/video/irf2-IruYEU/w-d-xo.html. Sadly in my recent visit to IKEA store, I found that this is no longer available in India. Even the website has no mention of this product. I feel it a great 2 seater sofa at an affordable price and I love it. Thanks.
Hi
I hv same dishwasher. But now a days utensils are not coming v clean. There is some brownish spots on dishes. Can u tell me the reason. I hv washed more tban 45 cycles. I hv filled rinse aid thrice but salt I hv not filled again. Also salt's indicator is not blinking. I felt it us lack of salt. Do u hv any idea?
Hi Priya, you have not mentioned whether you use detergent or tablet and also about your salt and rinse aid settings. Also let me know your water hardness.
I would also like to know in which cycle you get brown spots and whether it is on all dishes or specifically certain dishes only.
@@BhuvanaAdi i m using detergent. Today only lg Macanic came n changed setting from h2 to h3, l2 to l3. My tap water tds is 450.he has done tht strip test. But I think it is due to lack of salt.
I run mostly on turbo. Almost all utensils are getting brownish spots. Us there any way to send u pics?
You can send it to my email bhuvanaadis@gmail.com.
Hi Priya, try to wash your dishes in Eco or any other program even if the duration is longer. Turbo has high temperature wash cycle and it consumes more water and power. Cleaning also may not be effective.
Also such brown spots usually occurs on a slightly lower grade steel when washed in high temperature cycles.
In the name of shine, rinse aid us making utensils sticky inspite of keeping settings to lowest level. Can v skip rinse aid?
You can skip rinse aid if your water is very soft. Soapiness on cleaned dishes could either be due to more detergent or high setting of rinse aid. Also if your water is very soft, you've to be very careful with the quantity of detergent you use.
@@BhuvanaAdi for two trays full, I am using less than 15gn detergent. Water Hardness in tds meter is 300to 370 ppm.
@@lathac4487 I would suggest you get your water tested in s lab for water hardness, presence of magnesium and calcium. I've explained in my water hardness video that TDS and water hardness are different. From TDS you can only get to know the hardness roughly. Water testing in a good and water testing lab is what will give you accurate measure of hardness, based on which you can set your salt setting in your machine.
@@BhuvanaAdi oh is it? Along with manual,IFB people gave a small device to check water hardness. Is it enough?
@@lathac4487 no that is not enough.
Bosh ka dishwasher hai....
Mai finish ka detergent powder use ki hu mere sare bartan me white white ka daag ho rha kaise use kre mam plz reply
Hi, aap pehle aap ke water hardness ke basis par salt aur rinse aid setting karlijiye.
Water hard hone par white patches hone ke chances hain. Salt setting badaye toh yeh problem solve ho sakta hai.
Lekin pehle aapko apne water ke hardness ke bhare mein teek se pata hona chahiye.
Aap Bosch detergent bhi try kar sakte ho. Finish detergent se, soft aur medium hard water ke liye hi ache results milte hain. Hard water ke liye, Bosch ya Fortune detergent try kar sakte ho.

Hello mam..I recently bought Ifb sx1... TDS in my area is 200.. i have called technician so many times and they set salt and r aid level at L2... But I am tired of getting white cast on my vessel ... please please help me...I have also tried different r aid setting but nothing has given me results... please help me
Hi Manish, can you please let me know which detergent you are using?
Also i would like to know as to which program you use regularly and which are the programs in which you notice white stains on your vessels.
Are there any specific vessels in which you notice the stains?
Please answer the above so that I can try to resolve your problem.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks for replying mam...i am using Ifb detergent..salt..and r aid....i normally use super 50 program which is a 50 min. Cycle and clean vessels at 50 to 60 degree centigrade temprature... And all my vessels have white cast but Lower rack has more stubborn white stains
Needed a reply from your side mam
@@ManishSharma-yi5ru hi, i think you need to change your detergent. I don't know whether you've seen my detergent comparision video. I've given a low rating for IFB detergent for my water type, in that video.
From my experience and research I have found Finish to be best for soft water like yours. My TDS is also almost similar and I stick to Finish always. You can also try Crystale tablets.
Somehow I did not find good cleaning results with IFB detergent.
Hence my suggestion for you would be to switch over to the brands I've mentioned above.
I'm sure you will get over this problem.
Btw, I'm sharing below the playlist of detergent videos on my channel, you can click the link to watch them for better understanding:
Hi, cleaning heavily stained tea vessels depend not only on detergents, but also on correct placement of those vessels and the right program selection.
Heavily soiled dishes can be best cleaned in Auto or Intensive program.
Detergent brands can be chosen based on your water quality. For eg. Finish brand is ideal for soft to medium hard water, Fortune and Vim gives good cleaning for hard water etc.
Tablets clean heavily stained vessels better than detergents as they have a few additional ingredients for breaking stains, cleaning, shining etc.
But you can use tablets if you have very heavily soiled dish load, using a longer high temperature cycle.
Also your salt and rinse aid setting have to be rightly done based on your water quality.
Follow these and you will get your stained vessels fully cleaned.
I've uploaded many videos showing usage of different detergents and tablets, in my channel. You can find them in a playlist, the link of which I'm sharing below:

Please keep me informed about the results.
Thanks.
Thanks mam...I will try and let you know... thanks again
Hello mam i switched from tablets to detergent i use finsh detergent with lemon the water hardness is 129ppm which equal 8 in dh so i have low water hardness my dish washer user manual recommended level 2 of salt based on the water hardness but my dishes were even more horrible and they were so foggy it seemed like they had a powder layer over them and when i adjusted the salt level to 4 the powder effect has gone but there was water spots all over them if you are wondering what is the level of the rinse aid it is 4 and my dish washer is toshiba i want to no what is the problem
Hi, if your water hardness is 129 ppm(btw how did you arrive at it?), then your water must be very soft.
I think you have to adjust your salt and rinse aid setting based on your water hardness.
You can set both your salt and rinse aid setting to level 1, since you are using detergent.
In case you are using tablets, you can set both the salt and rinse aid to 0.
Try running various cycles at these settings for a few days. If you get satisfactory cleaning results, continue the same settings. Else increase it by one level.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
What is the average life of a dishwasher??
I have recently bought Voltas beko DF14W 😊
A good question Karuna. On an average a dishwasher should last anywhere between 8-10 years. But much depends on the water quality and how frequently you use it. And also the general maintenance.
@@BhuvanaAdi thank you..
What Detergent use?
@@rajadey8228 fortune
@@karunadhote a66a wash hota hay fortune se?

How to avoid the blackening of the aluminum vessels in the Bosch dishwasher.
Hi, Aluminium will blacken if washed in a dishwasher. Hence, manufacturers do not recommend washing aluminum cookware in the dishwasher.
But, if you still want to wash them, you can do so in the short cycle of temperatures less than 50 deg C.
I've shown this in my video, the link of which I am sharing below:
th-cam.com/video/kxKvLCLmNuc/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thanks 😊
It appears that the tablets are a marketing gimmick designed to encourage people to purchase additional products.
Well not exactly. In some countries there are machines, which do not have salt (and maybe no rinse aid) chamber too. In such cases the tablet helps in better cleaning than just detergent. Moreover some advanced variants of tablets have more ingredients which give excellent shine to glassware, better stain removal etc.
Anyway, a person is free to use or not use a tablet. Thanks.
Please improve the audio clarity
Please try to watch this video on another device. I am sure that there is no audio issue in this, as I have not received any complaints so far.
Thanks.
i did not get manual
Every machine comes with a manual. Which is your dishwasher brand and model?
@@BhuvanaAdi bosch pls make a video with manual stuff
Which is the model number? I'm sure you must have got the manual along with the dishwasher.
Anyway, you can go to their website and type your model number and you can find the manual there.
