Speaking of the Earth…..I have a moral question to the lizard community. I, like everyone else, simply cannot get my dishes clean in the dishwasher since the took the phosphates out. I either have to hand clean them before putting in, thus wasting water and more detergent, or I sometimes have to wash them twice or three times again wasting water and electricity.

On the other hand, I went to Home Depot (paint area) bought a one pound box of sodium triphosphate (cost $3). If I put literally a half a teaspoon in the dishwaster little flippy door along with the detergent pill the dishes come out perfect. Three day hardened spaghetti pots, no problems.

So….in your opinion am I a scumbag?
