I've been using Cascade Action Pacs with Dawn for the last year or so, and they're phosphate-free. I haven't noticed much of a residue or anything. Sometimes there are little granules of white stuff on them (which I assume is soap), but that is usually when I've stacked things together a little closely. And I never notice them when I run a load with the sani-rinse on (which I really only do if I've crammed ridiculous amounts of silverware in the tray).
