How much detergent to use
= The amount of detergent to use depends
on the hardness of your water and the type
of detergent. If you use too little, dishes
won't be clean. If you use too much in soft
water, glassware will etch.
Different brands of dishwasher detergent
have different amounts of phosphorus for
softening water. If you have hard water and
use low phosphorous content detergent
(6.0% or less), you may need to use more
detergent or use a detergent with a higher
phosphorous content (8.7%).
Find out your water's hardness by asking
your local water department, water soft=
ener company, or county extension agent.
