made for use in dishwashers. Other types will cause
How much detergent should you use? That depends.
Is your water "hard" or "soft'"? With hard water, you
need extra detergent to get dishes clean. With soft water,
you need less detergent.
Your water department can tell you how hard your
water is. So can your county extension agent or your
area's water softener company. Just call and ask them
how many "grains" of hardness there are in your water.

time. But why take a chance when it's easy to find out the
hardness of your water.
Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Under the sink
isn't a good place to store detergent because there is

If your powder detergent gets old or lumpy, throw it
away. Old detergent often won't dissolve. If you use a
liquid dishwasher detergent, these precautions are not
necessary because liquid detergents don't "lump" as
they age or come in contact with moisture.
