Recently (within the last month?) there was a news item that said the soap manufacturers had removed some ingredients and it would leave spots and residue because of this. Something to do with the environment.
Removed phosphates.

One thing to check is the temp of your hot water. I run water in a cup and while it's running and hot, I test with a thermometer. If it's not hot enough, the soap won't dissolve. That being said, I started using the gelpacks for the same reason. No matter what I did, I wasn't getting clean dishes....and it's probably what magpie said that's causing the problem.

Here is a possible solution, but more work for you.
