My wife and I lugged the biggest box of dishwasher detergent we could pack back from Germany.

Deliberately chose the detergent showing " > 30% phosphates"

Probably broke a 100 Federal rules and regulations :-)

“Deliberately chose the detergent showing “ > 30% phosphates””

Detergents here, before the crackdown on phosphates used to be about 15% phosphates. Then that was cut in half. Laundry detergent has been w/o phosphates for some time now. Now dishwasher detergent.

We make our own soap...’Grandma’s lye soap’ and use it for bathing and laundry. Works great. We love it. Will not go back to store bought stuff. Too much suds for the dishwasher. Will buy a case of trisodium phosphate tomorrow to have it on hand for where we do need it...like in the dishwasher.
