A dishwasher cleaning checklist pulls the filter, clears the spray arms, and runs a hot cycle with the racks empty.
Glasses come out gritty because the only cleaning step was a detergent pod on top of a packed filter.
Why This Happens
The filter is hidden under the bottom rack. Pods are marketed as the whole job, so the sludge stays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a kitchen deep-clean list?
No. This dishwasher cleaning checklist is the machine: filter, gasket, arms, and an empty cycle.
Do I need a special cleaner?
The filter matters more. Use a cleaner your manual allows for the empty cycle.
Why do glasses feel sandy?
A clogged filter or spray arm is recirculating food. Clean those before you buy new detergent.
Can I use bleach?
Only if the manufacturer says so. Many seals and tubs should not get it.
