And we will...............
A quarter teaspoon of TSP (trisodium phosphate), available at your hardware store, works wonders. It’s still legal to buy, for now.

In other words, environmentalists may DO not know what they're talking about.
Fixed for accuracy.
We noticed something similar lately as well. We just went back to hand washing. This will become a problem when kids enter the picture, but at this point, the little lady and I like to thumb our nose at the enviro-whackos and run the hot water for too long each time.
Now I just need to figure out how to re-configure the toilet flush to use hot water instead of cold. That’ll teach em!
Disconnect the hot water line from under the sink, install a T, reconnect the sink and run the new line off the T over to the toilet.
From a June 2010 USA Today Article:
States instituting the rule include Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, reports the Associated Press.
...
As a result of the ban, some familiar brands such as Cascade and Colgate-Palmolive are offering dish soaps with few or no phosphates.
Environmentalists and the libturds won’t be happy until we are forced back into a pre-industrial revolution society. But even then I would bet they’d still bitch about using wood for heat . . .
We started using that thanks to freepers posting about it. Yippee, the dishes are clean again. I’m going to stock up on it before it dissapears too.
LOL, Let me know when you figure it out, I’ll join you.
I came across an article similar to this last time I was at my parents’ and brought some TSP home with me to try. The article included accounts of people having repairmen come out to fix their “broken” machines.
Adding a little bit of that stuff does work. I thought my dishes and flatware were looking grungy due to age but they’re shiny and happy now.
My toilet is on a different side of my bathroom from the sink. However, that gives me an idea for my shower. Thanks, Bert!
we buy TSP from lowes and dishwasher soap from the “dollar” stores and do a “mix”.. it works.. and will until the E nuts catch on.. TSP is powder or liquid... takes a bit to get the “mix” right...
thanks for your info and keep the faith..
At least the wife won’t be complaining about peeing on the seat! I can just say, “Well honey, how do you know it’s not hot water splashing up from the flush?”
Bert in #7 answered your question but it made me think of a place I used to work. The bathroom was on an outside wall so it was hooked up to the hot water line instead of the cold. Let me tell you, if someone was running hot water some where else you would sweat your little tushie off when you sat down. Quite shocking the first time.
I don’t even use 1/4 tsp. and it helps. I just dab the tip of a wet spoon that’s going into the washer in it and let it run with that.
I haven’t noticed a problem with my dishes but then Texas is not on your list. I’ll go check my dishwasher soap.
