She said,  “My repairman said just throw it in the back” and added that the “Detergent” compartment in her dishwasher is meant to be for liquid detergent.

Hmmmm…

Another TikTokker said you should only do this for an express wash.

I’m of the opinion that dishwasher pods are kind of a scam.

It’s just detergent. So just use detergent.

Easy.
