Just use powder. Put some in the compartment and a little into the basin/on the door. Now your pre-wash cycle is more effective than ever! Also, powder is cheaper most of the time. And also convenient - no individually wrapped pods!

It's what you're supposed to do though, you need soap for the prewash otherwise it does nothing.

Don't do it with pods though that's an insane amount of waste

The pods themselves are a waste. Just get liquid or powder detergent. It's cheaper and does the job just as well (and possibly even better depending on the dishwasher)

True, I'm thinking about the powder or liquid

Most people use too much detergent. Put the right amount in the wash and pre-wash, it's probably less than what they used before, and the dishes are cleaner. Too much detergent leaves powdery residue.
