How much detergent
to use
The amount
of detergent
to use
depends
on the hardness
of your
water. If too little
IS
used, dishes won't
be clean.
However,
if too much
is
used
in soft water,
glassware
will
begin
to etch.
Find out your water's
hardness
by
asking
your
local
water
depart-
ment, water
softener
company
or
county
extension
agent.

to
bottom
line if water
is 0 to 4 grains
of
hardness.
