Phosphates were removed from diswashing detergents last summer. Dishes are
not getting sparkling clean as a result. Food sticks to fork tines, flatware
is smoky dull, dried scum is abundant.

Adding a smidgen of TSP to the wash restores the luster, the gleam, the
other-worldy beauty to otherwise lifeless eating utensils and dishes.

It's a miracle.

Shrug. I rinse dishes before I stack them in the sink, and load/run the
dishwasher maybe once a week. I've never noticed any problems with
current-issue liquid dishwasher soap.
