How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can
result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or
spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water
can cause permanent etching on glassware. Your
local water company, water softener company or
county extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.
More detergent may be needed if the phosphorus
content is 8.7% or less.
The phosphorus content is shown on the
detergent label.
