What
kind

are too mild and much too sudsy
to work in the dishwasher.
Different brands of dishwasher detergent have
different amounts of phosphorus
for softening
water. If water is hard and phosphorus
content is
low (6.0% or less), you may need lo use more
detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus
content (8.7% or higher).
Do not add detergent until you are ready lo
wash. Fresh automatic
dishwasher
detergent
is necessary
for best washing
results.
Store detergent tightly closed In a cool, dry place.
