How Much Detergent to Use

The amount of detergent to use depends on water hardness and the phosphorus content in the detergent.
Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. The higher the number of grains, the harder the water . The harder the

water, the more detergent needed. Using too little detergent in hard water results in dirty dishes and hard water filming or
spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water results in permanent etching in the dishes. Y our 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. Due to environmental concerns, phosphorus use has been reduced, and detergents containing
phosphates are not available in some areas.

Detergent Chart

Water Hardness Grains Amount per Cup

Soft 0 – 3 grains 2 Teaspoons
Medium 4 – 8 grains 5 Teaspoons
Hard 9 + 10 Teaspoons (fill level to top)
12 grains and higher is extremely hard water. Detergent alone may not be

enough. A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and
dishwashing performance.
