Fortunately, you can put the phosphates BACK.

Buy powdered detergent. Add somewhere between 10-20% TSP to the box*. Shake
well before using.

TSP is available at the BORG, about six bucks for a giant box. CAUTION:
There exists a "Phosphate Free" TSP (how, I don't know). Don't get that one.

If you are tempted to dismiss this idea, it only costs six bucks to try it
out. Six bucks if far cheaper than a new machine or a water softener.



I won't be dismissing this idea at all. In fact, I was wondering what
exactly to do with the TSP once I found some. Now I know thanks to you!

I'll be off to the Borg in the AM.

Use in the clothes washer for softer clothes....

The red box at my BORG was $3.98 -- 1 LB box.
