I Want My Phosphate Back!
Until several months ago, I didn't even know I loved phosphate. Apparently, our dishwashing liquid is full of it and it is damaging our precious Spokane River (they say it contributes to insane amounts of algae in the river). I have a very good dishwasher; the kind where you can put a plate with caked on leftovers from a day ago and it comes out clean. A couple of months ago, I ran out of my bulk dishwashing soap from Costco and had to go buy some of the new phosphate free, river friendly soap. This is what my dishes have looked like ever since.

That's funny because before I got to the end of your post, I was going to write and tell you that we snuck some phosphate into your parents home and could hook you up too. But it looks like that is already on the plans for our weekend with the fam.
Seriously. What gives. I am a phosphate-lover as well. Don't tell the tree-hugger-river-lovers. I smuggled some in from North Idaho. After giving my husband a big lecture about loving the fish and their eco-system I succumbed to what works. The eco stuff is crap. I'm with you, Kacey. Loved the post! Zibby
Wow. That stinks! I'm with you though...I'd go phosphate all the way! Good talking with you the other day. Wish we could have gotten together over Spring Break. We need to soon!
We have two large boxes of Cascade that we smuggled back from Tri Cities at our last tournament! Don't tell.
Hey I was totally thinking the same thing....then I found this really good stuff at Costco that is phosphate free....it is called Wave...organic lavender...now I am sold....but it took me awhile to find some good stuff...okay I totally sound like a commercial..
