  • i always read phosphate levels when i choose dishwasher soap— there is one with a yellow box – not sure which brand— that has half as much phosphate as the others— around 3% instead of the usual 6.

  • I’ll check for other brands without phosphates

  • ill switch back to washing everything by hand!

  • I will also impose on my roommates to follow this boycott, maybe by buying a massive amount of a better detergent.

  • I use the orange gel.

  • I found this information while researching my son’s 4th Grade Science Fair project and intend to use this as a “call to action” attachment for his project. Few people are aware that there are still phosphates in any of our cleaning solutions, as the hype years ago was to eliminate them from laundry detergent. Perhaps we can raise awareness of this problem through my son’s school project!
