Just pour some plain vinegar in the open detergent cup (at least half full) and put your regular detergent in the closed cup ( I like Finish Powerball brand). I find that I can get away with doing this once every other wash. Not only will your dishes, glassware and flatware sparkle but the dishwasher stays nice and clean too! Maybe some smart detergent company will come out with a gel pack that already has vinegar in it. I agree with Michelle and Rhonda.

All these stain removal products didn't exist before the phosphorus left our detergents....Now we have boosters for the dishwasher too, because the crap we are left with DOESN'T WORK WORTH A TINKER'S DAMN! I think the phosphorus free detergent tears up clothing - costing me a fortune - and the dishwashing soap doesn't work either! If I have to pre-wash all my dishes, why bother with the machine at all? Which is exactly what the greenies want - that we have no technology (except possibly Apple products) and we use no energy, sit around a camp fire eating tree bark and wearing leaves. It's STUPID not to have decent detergent in 2011!!!! You notice how many “boosters” we now have for our clothes washers?

No more haze. Dingy "white" towels, add enough for the water to feel slippery. (Didn't cause a problem added to my darks, but, I mixed it with water before adding.) For me, about 1/4 cup works.

Mention of zeolite as harmful impeaches fools. Normal and effective Cascade is available as a commercial product. The ban is only on private subjects.

Where's the research that backs up the legislative need to remove phosphates from the entire U.S. market? This is completely ridiculous and entirely political. The whole thing needs to be thrown out as the junk science it is! I’m with Elsa. Where’s the research that backs up the legislative need to remove phosphates from the entire U.S. market?
