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 tee little,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
• Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out
your water's hardness by asking your local water department,
water softener company, or county extension agent.
• Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard
water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of
less than &7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use
a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
