If it works for you go ahead… but something is wrong with your dishwasher or you’re using the wrong mode (eco) then. This is absolutely not the correct way to use a dishwasher.
The pre-wash cycle is the shortest cycle and by using all of your soap in the beginning you are spending the majority of the wash cycle without soap.
I came here to suggest people not use the pods for the exact reason you mention. My dishwasher went from mediocre to pretty good by switching to gel instead of the packs.
I’ve switched from using the little door to just chucking the tablet in the bottom. Works just as well, if not better.
