So, I have a standard builder grade Whirlpool dishwasher in my 10 year old house.
We moved into the house about a year ago, and noticed tons of etching and food particles on most of the dishes after we run a cycle. It got to the point where it was gross to be scraping the stuff off my glassware.
We used all different kinds of detergent, cascade, costco brand, you name it. I used all the premium rinse aids, finish, oxyclean.
Still grimy dishes, nothing really clean. I was going to throw the dishwasher out, then I came across an article on Phosphates being banned from detergents about 10 years ago.
Went to the corner Lowes and bought a 3 dollar box of TSP in the paint department. Used the cheapest Walmart brand dishwasher detergent, and sprinkled a little TSP over each wash cup. Dishes are so clean they squeak when you rub your fingers over them.
Almost all that baked on food is gone. I'll keep chugging with my 10 year old dishwasher and a 3 dollar box of what the government shouldn't be banning anyways.
