Dishwashing Detergents havebeen approved for use

until you're ready to wash dishes.
Theamount of detergent to use depends on whether

extra detergent. With soft water, you need less
detergent.
Protectyour dishesand dishwasher by contacting
your water department and asking how hard your
water is.Twelve or more grains isextremely hard
