I agree about the merger. I have had the misfortune of dealing with ATT services several times. The customer service attitude is act like your problem has never before been brought up by anyone and then try to upgrade you into more services. When they promised to fix something I often had to contact them 2 or 3 more times to finally get it taken care of. We use Sprint now and they have been wonderful to work with.

I had no idea that the Cascade formula changed, but my wife and I noticed the polished metal pots getting heavily coated and streaked with white. The plastic all hazed up and the glass dishes where coated with a white haze. …not even close to what Cascade has advertised for years and earned a reputation on. The inside of the dishwasher began to get coated so mechanisms such as the soap lid and upper rack began to stick. I actually had several pot handles break off along with one lid handle. These were all tack welds that were eaten away, and I can’t say there is a correlation, but it at least was quite the coincidence. So I looked into it and starting learning about the phosphate issue. In our area the jury is still out on why the amount of phosphates is what it is. Engineers are measuring rivers and other sources trying to characterize the sources. Apparently there are natural sources as well as contributions from daily living. I’d prefer we first quantify the problem locally before enacting broad changes such as would a dictator.

I struggled with the white residue for a long time. I tried even tried dishwasher cleaners which were expensive and didn’t work. Before I called the repairman I went online and found out if you add about a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (after the initial rinse and drain) it cleans the residue. The problem is that I have to make sure I time it right. I found a janitorial supply company that has some of the old phosphate stuff and am heading there now to get it.

I really wish the environmentalists would stop trying to “save the planet” and regulating everything. I use alot more water now than ever before to get the dishes clean. Pushing their ‘green’ enviro-babble on the rest of society is getting really old. It’s annoying to have new regulations rammed down my throat because the environmentalists think they know better than the rest of us and have to outlaw everything. Talk about Big Brother! Get your hands off my dishes, out of my toilet and away from my trash! I’m so tired of them forcing us to be ‘green’ that I don’t even recycle anymore. We work harder and harder for our money now and we don’t need “green’ people making us work harder to get our dishes clean, trash emptied or toilet flushed. I’m crying Uncle now. Enough is enough!

Be aware if you go to the store to buy TSP … we just did, and when we got home noticed the label says “phosphate free.” Even though it’s still called TSP (doesn’t the “P” stand for phosphate?????), the small print says it has a phosphate substitute now. Just glad we didn’t open it before noticing!

The TSP print is blue instead of red like the old label. Our store doesn’t have the old stuff anymore …

Is it not just lazy to sell a product that does not work? Remember when oil based paints and gasoline both at one time had LEAD additives? Fortunately, we have benefited from the reformulation. The outside air is cleaner and your walls are not toxic!

I took the engineer’s route and just bought the STPP stuff from an online supplier. P & G takes it out? I put it back. Hopefully that will solve the problem. Was pretty upset moving into a brand new house with brand new appliances on city water and seeing white crap all over my dishes. Glad I figured this out before getting a water softener.

Hey, while reading your blog I just had to let you know that I have been having thiss smae problem for about four months now. I went crazy trying to solve this problem, & then resorted to buying a whole new dishwasher. After the grueling installation process and a test run, I found the same thick white film on all of my dishes and utensils. I checked the wepage you provided, so hopefully i can get my dishes back to the way they were. THANKS.
