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.

add a cup of vinegar to the washer when it's filled with water.
