Just wanted to thank you for the info on adding phosphate to the dishwasher. I experimented and am adding 2 teaspoons per wash. Works like a charm.
I had bought a new dishwasher and my wife blamed me for buying a piece of junk because it didn’t clean any better than the old one. Then I discovered what happened to Cascade and other dishwasher detergents. I couldn’t find any dishwasher stuff with phosphates except a rinse that had a little.
I found TSP at Lowe’s (next to the fake TSP), not in the cleaning section, but over with the turpentine, etc.
I added some to the dishwasher and started it up.
Let’s see what happens.
