Use normal powder detergent so you can fill the pre wash and run the kitchen sink hot before you start the dishwasher so that the water starts hot. For me it gets even the dishes with dry cement clean most of the time.
I’ll have to try that hot water trick! I do use powder detergent, and someone else told me recently that I guess you’re supposed to fill not only the closable compartment thing with it, but also the little open depression/pit if you want to clean stuff better. Is that true?
The dishwashers I’ve seen don’t use the common hot water. They only have a cold water hose and heat the water themselves, so running the hot water doesn’t really do anything.

Explains everything and made me change my use of dishwashing. Now, even my crap one in my apartment works great!
