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 phosphorous for
softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous
content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a detergent
with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
