Phosphate-free dishwasher detergent sucks
« on: September 20, 2010, 06:21:01 PM »

Doesn't clean for shit in the hard water we have here in Florida, and leaves streaks on the glasses. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUU. The change went nationwide in July, nobody told me. Wah.

Now I'm going around and buying up all the old-stock detergent with phosphates. I'm hoarding that shit like acorns.

17 or so states banned it. I guess its not cost effective to have two different formulas.

WTF.  Does it say that on the bottle or do you have to read the ingredient list?

It will say if it contains phosphates or not, usually on the front. Sometimes on the back.

Kind of in the same line as this, here in NY state they banned oil-based wood stain.  This means you have to use a water-based stain to keep your deck up.  Oil-based stain that lasts for a few yers vs water-based stain that needs to be done every year if not twice a year.

Parents are thinking of taking a trip to PA with me while I go get my smokes and they can get their stain lol.  I guess the good thing to get out of this is it's slowly but surely showing my family that the government sucks.  Still can't convince them to move to NH with me just to be in a state that has a shitload of less taxes than NY state, not to mention more freedom.

You don't understand. We run 2 loads a day. Do you know how much time that would take manually? I've done it before. It takes up an hour of your day.

Buy some trisodium phosphate at a hardware store and add a half a teaspoon or so to each wash.

Not sure if that's even still available, someone further down mentioned that the packages of Trisodium Phosphate are now showing that they are "phosphate free".  :(

I Live in WA state were phosphates are banned so I drive to Idaho and smuggle some in. maybe borax would work as a dish cleaner, and anyway I guess you will have to Pre-wash your dishes by hand before using the dish washer.

Maybe you can buy some detergent online and have it shipped to you.

So the jet dry shit doesn't work on Florida? 

How about a household water softener system?   My brother has one.  I am not impressed but he seems to like it.  I have a filtration system I like much better.  Even thinking of a reverse osmosis system just for drinking water.   

I would not be surprised that NC is one of the 17 states on the ban wagon.  We just have so many Liberal transplants I don't even recognize my state anymore.  They are destroying the very things which made NC a better place to live than NY or WV.   Can't understand why they leave the crappy situation in their home states move to a state with more freedom then turn around and vote for the crap that made their old state crappy.
