Im currently using Cascade and notice no difference. Maybe Virginia isnt one of the 17?
I grew up without a dryer or a dishwasher...towels were softer when line dried, because the laundry detergent used to contain phosphates...now they are stiff as a board. Phosphates are naturally occurring here in Florida...we used to have a lot of phosphate mines before it was deemed "bad for the environment"...
Do you have soft water?
We don't, and, since the change, Cascade Complete now leaves that nasty white film on all our dishes.
Can hardly wait for the CFL's to kick in.
