I hate the way the companies bow to the envirowhackos so here is a way to get around the morons.

[Siena Dreaming]

I heard that you can put this in your laundry also to make a dramatic difference but I don’t know how much per load is recommended.

[tallyhoe]

That is why the Dish Washer no longer cleans your dishes!!! “”No Phosphorous”” We need to roll back Obama Care, New Light bulb law and this!!!!

[Sacajaweau]

Now what do I buy to make my curly lightbulbs round??

[reg45]

Make certain that it is REAL tri-sodium phosphate, not the phosphorus free substitute.

[Free Vulcan]

You can buy trisodium phosphate from Lowes as well for about $10 a 4 lb box. Does a great job on the clothes. About a tablespoon and a half a load.

Thanks for the website.

Beware that the big box hardware stores are now selling "phosphate free" TSP. Read the box carefully!

Half a teaspoon of caustic soda in each dishwasher load works even better! It is available at brewers supply stores.

[I still care]

Here in Tampa they just passed a law about how homeowners are no longer allowed to have phosphates in fertilizer.

I think this is quite funny because Tampa is one of the largest producers of phosphates in the world.

Box looks like this:

Yeah, but don’t you just feel good about yourself when you use phosphate free detergent? Kinda feeds your need for feelings of moral superiority. (sarc)

[Vinnie]

Any time we are in Big Lots, Ollies, or the like I check out the detergent section.
You can still find some old stock around.
We’ve stocked up of the ‘original’.

One caveat. Shake the box, make sure it’s not clotted up.

[cc2k]

One addition to your advice. Avoid anything that says "Trisodium Phosphate PF."

It's some kind of environmentally friendly substitute. the PF means "Phosphate Free."

[DaxtonBrown]

intersting tip, thanks

[EmilyGeiger]

Thanks! I was wondering what was wrong with my dishwasher! :(

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Thanks.

[Squantos]

Thanks for the info....stay safe !

[freespirited]

There are folks on ebay selling phosphate-laden dishwasher detergent.

[dynoman]

We deliberately bought detergent without phosphates because they created a white crust in the old dishwasher.

We use the packets in the new one, don’t know how much phosphate is in them.

[Dallas59]

Can I just mix in the TP in the Detergent box?.....How much?

[aberaussie]
