Can I add this to liquid dishwashing machine detergent to get the old phosphate action back again, and get my dishes clean again?

Yes, adding this to your commercial detergent should get the same results that the good ol' phosphate laden commercial detergents gave

Yes. Although, Would recommend DAP thru Zoro instead. A lot cheaper and more active ingredient (TSP). I use a 1:6 mixture (1 part TSP to 6 parts Cascade) in my dishwasher. Adjust if necessary, till you get desired result. Boosts laundry detergent also.

I don't know about cleaning anything with the product. I am using it with other ingredients as a controversial pain reliever. And, I am not at liberty to discuss it any further than letting you know that I am using it. Very sorry. Thanks.

I just purchased and installed the WM2016CW washer. As a complete newb to the front-loader universe, I set out to run the first load of laundry. I was rewarded with water and suds all over the floor. I called customer service in a panic and the rep told me I probably added too much detergent. Fair enough. Crisis averted. She then went on to lecture me that the WM2016CW is not meant to be used with liquid detergent (even if it's HE). She said it should only use powdered detergent. I referred her to the manual and LG's own website which explicitly state that you can use either in the machine. I'm not sure who to believe, but according to at least one LG customer service rep, the detergent of choice should be powdered.

LindaI use this with dishwasher detergent - recipe is 50% Calgon and 50% Cascade - powder of course! This was recommended by an older gentleman who repaired my dishwasher years ago. It saves your pipes, tubing and items in the dishwasher.I think it would be fine for your coffee machine as well - diluted perhaps in a solution. I would contact Calgon & ask specifically.

Definitely not to be used in replacement for a detergent. I have really hard water too (Florida) and use it as a booster. It says it does act as a water softener. I also use a fabric softener (liquid) and notice a difference. For the price, I say try it out & see. Worst case if you don't notice a difference, you haven't lost much money. And it can also be used as a household cleaner if you don't notice a difference. The box has a ton of instructions for use on it. Hope that helps!

Mine were fine until they too the phosphates out of dishwasher soaps. Google it and you'll find that this has ruined a lot of cookware.

Phosphate is what was removed from the dishwasher soap and is the reason why everyone is having such difficulties with their dishwashers and the soaps! To me, buying it phosphate free will defeat the purpose completely. Phosphate breaks down the lime and other things in your water that builds up on your dishes. Phosphate Free is what has caused the problem. I,too, purchased the dishwasher soap with phosphate (Bubbly?) . We have been using the TSP as an extra cleaning inbetween our dishwasher cycles.

I used Dawn dish detergent straight up. Let it sit on the spot for awhile then used a plastic mesh scrubber and a little force. Worked like a charm.

Yes and no... You can use any powder or liquid/gel dishwasher detergent you would like however if you choose to use the popular tablets, packs,pods, the owners manual says that you should use the longest cycle on the dishwasher so that the detergent us fully dissolved and properly rinsed away. I have never used the packs in my machine but understand the longer cycle, since the regular cycle uses only a little more than three gallons of water for the entire cycle. Hope this is helpful...

I usually use plain water to clean my jewelry. I haven't tried dish detergent,

it is a powder . We have a kitchen aid with a two compartment dispenser, one for wash and the other for pre wash. I put the powder in both sections and when the cycles are done there is never any residue left in the dispenser. actually when we started using it our dispenser had like a white scale on it. and most of that is now gone.we have always used liquid until now. Hope this helps.. I am not familiar with your dishwasher. good luck!

The dishwasher has to come with this feature. There is a special place in the bottom of my dishwasher where I add the salt.

I wash with baking soda and detergent and that seems to work. Can also add some Natures Miracle or other enzyme to the wash water.

Sure---it beats using chlorine-based products! HOWEVER, I would not risk dumping the product into the dishwasher and turning it on. What you CAN DO is to put a tablespoon of the powdered lye into a container and add about a quart of water to it. Then dump that into your dishwasher and let it splash around inside. Or--a better way--would be to put the lye-and-water solution (above) on a rag and wipe down the inside of your dishwasher. I've been using lye in water for several years now instead of harmful chlorine and it has really saved my bacon when family members are coughing and sneezing all over everything. I add it to my dish water (use it with Dawn detergent), and use it to clean surfaces. After all, lye was the basis of Lysol! Your own homemade "Lysol" is cheaper, fragrance free, and works very well.

Yes and no. If you add this to a reservoir with another fluid already in it,it will dilute the Prestone mixture in where it wont work as intended.However this poor product dont work any better than regular blue washer fluid anyway so youll be fine.

In my machine the liquid cup come out and that's where the powdered detergent goes. You can also add it right on top of your clothing too.

My problem was white powdery substance on dishes, utensils, etc. Entire bottom, sides and back of dishwasher had white residue. Called appliance company and this product was recommended. Additionally, I was told to try liquid Cascade. This worked fabulously. The dishwasher and dishes are sparkling clean. I have not had a problem since using Glisten just one time. Long story short it cost $65.00 (no repairs needed) for this information. Hope this helps!
