How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. If too little is used, dishes won’t be clean. However, if too much is used in soft water, glassware will begin to etch.

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water depart-

ment, water softener company or county extension agent.
