Good news! You don't have to replace phosphate in your dish detergent if you use www.BubbleBandit.com. It is a commercial product with 8.7% phosphate that works wonders in your dishwasher at home.
From the research I have done, I have discovered that most dishwasher detergents have between 10-25% phosphate. This would mean adding between 1/2 and 1 Tablespoon of trisodium phosphate (TSP) to 1/4 cup of dishwasher detergent. If you are hand-washing your dishes, I would use the lower amount AND wear gloves so as not to damage your skin. TSP is caustic (but not as bad as something like lye). You can also add TSP to laundry detergent at the lower levels, 1/2 tbsp per 1/4 cup of detergent. Search the web for trisodium phosphate, there's about a million other uses!
No, it is not recommended to use laundry detergent in your dishwasher. Laundry detergent is designed for use in washing machines and can create excess suds in a dishwasher, potentially leading to leaks or other issues. It is best to use a dishwasher detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.
No, it is not recommended to use laundry detergent in a dishwasher. Laundry detergent produces more suds than dishwasher detergent, which can lead to excess suds and potentially damage the dishwasher. It is best to use dishwasher detergent specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
Typically, you would use around 1 tablespoon of detergent per load in a dishwasher. However, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific dishwasher and the type of detergent being used. Excess detergent can result in over-sudsing and poor cleaning performance.
You can try using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar as a substitute for dishwasher detergent. This can help with cleaning dishes effectively while being gentle on your dishwasher and the environment. However, it may not be as effective as a commercial detergent.

I think it is the lack of phosphates. I was ready to replace the water softener and the dishwasher-until npr did a story on the detergents. Right now I am trying white vinegar and I guess I will be doing dishes by hand
It works without any difference that I could notice.Addendum:It will depend on how much and what type you use. Most regular liquid dish detergents foam heavily with agitation. If this happens inside your dishwasher, the seal may leak. Dishwasher detergent (like laundry detergent) is formulated to be less sudsing. do not, however, make the mistake of using laundry detergent in your dishwasher. You would actually be better off running the dishwasher without soap.
