Pssst...Do You Have Any Phosphate?: Looking for Contraband Phospate
Ever since July I have been getting a film on all my dishes. I have tried a couple different types of dishwasher detergent, but always had the same problem. So, I went to the internet to research how to get my dishes clean. Well, as it turns out, phosphates have been banned in dishwasher detergent in Florida since July. So, I went back online to try to figure out if there is an alternate solution. I came up with zilch. Now, I am trying to find contraband dishwasher detergent with phosphates in it. I hear that the commercial brands may have some, so I checked out my local Sam's Club...nothing. I wonder if I can import it from a different state? If you have figured out a solution to the lack of phosphates, let me know, because I am guessing that the film on my dishes is not good for me.

Try adding a cup of white vinegar to the dishwasher before you fire it up. I haven't need to try this specifically with dishwashing, but I do add some to our clothes wash cycle. It helps keep a fabric softener film from building up inside the machine, which can make clothes look dingy and lead to a smelly washing machine.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, the vinegar smell dissipates very quickly and is an eco-friendly & economical additive too.
I have tried the vinegar and had the same result. I am trying a product called Lemishine. I will let everyone know if it works.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the Lemi Shine really works. I need to buy stock in that company.
