This law is insane. Just as insane as dark colored cars in CA.

I never noticed those laws. We clean our dishes in methylene chloride, perc, and 1-1-1 trichlor, because, well because we are Christians.
Among other states that have banned or are banning phosphates in dishwasher detergent are Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, Vermont, Minnesota, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York. A bill on Capitol Hill would impose a nationwide ban.
Now, not only will we be broke, we will be dirty.

Like CF says, I would expect low phosphate detergents to be a major disadvantage if you have hard water..........

Was this instigated by Morton or Calgon through the water softening lobby??
Can't tell you because it's ancient Chinese secret.
Lets save the water, so folks can drive an extra 100 miles to pollute the air.
Government gotta love em.

I think it'll soon be a federal law, so driving anywhere won't get your dishes any cleaner.

Borax is suppose to help laundry detergent work better by softening the water. Would putting a quarter cup of borax at the bottom of the dish washer soften the water to help the non-phosphate detergent work in hard water locations?
When it comes to dishwashing, like a lot of other things, nothing beats a good hand job.

I make my own laundry detergent. I mix in borax and calgon as water softeners, although our water isn't hard to begin with. But yes, borax and calgon are water softeners. Both, borax and calgon are toxic and carcinogenic if ingested.

I buy a gallon jug dishsoap at Smart&Final for around $7 every six months or so.

Maybe one day soon, you'll be able to spell comrade.
What's the big deal? Phosphates are known to be bad for lakes, rivers, and streams, we can do with less, why all the [censored]?
