I’m currently using Cascade and notice no difference. Maybe Virginia isn’t one of the 17?

In Florida, our water is VERY HARD...lots of lime, calcium, etc. That makes for poorly washed anything...remove phosphates from dishwasher soap, and it's like washing our clothes...they get clean (sort of), and they wear out faster than they would from normal use.

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.
