Monday Wild Card

You should know by now how I feel about the phosphate ban in Washington. Not. A. Fan. On a recent trip to Costco, I bought the new Kirkland phosphate-free dishwashing gel. Came home. Loaded the dishwasher. Half an hour later, I notice suds pouring from the bottom of the dishwasher!

Geez! They’re not kidding when they say “use less product.” So I ran the rinse cycle twice. Some energy savings :-( The next morning I used less soap and fired up the dishwasher. More suds, more bubbles. What a mess! I hauled out the container to see what I could possibly be doing wrong. That’s when I discovered I’d bought dish soap, NOT dishwashing detergent.
