Mexican Detergents With PHOSPHATES

Elitism...

(This so SO not me)

The earth won't die any faster if we [the selcted few..HA HA HA] use phoshates.

Actually, there are more phosphates in human waste than ever used in laundry (preservatives in food are the culprit). If you're on a city water system (sewage treatment) the phosphates never make it to the rivers, lakes and streams. Most dishwasher detergents contain phosphates and always have. There was a rumor that Tide was going to add phosphates again to some formulas or for some markets in the U.S., anyone ever see anymore on this?

I have STPP (sodium tripoly-phosphate) powder to add to laundry, you can control the amount - less is needed for soft water - and it helps all detergents perform beautifully. You can order it online as some here have done, I buy it at a local chemical supply. 40 pound bag is about $40 and usually 1/8 cup is plenty for most loads - reduce detergent by the same mount of phos. added. I have friends who swear buy it, especially in their LG f/l washer.

I always thought that with the "new HE" machines, since they use about the same amount of water as a dishwasher, that detergent manufacturers could now add phosphates, claiming that 1) no more than what is used in dishwasher detergents will be used, and 2) they are needed because so little water is used. This is probably how they get away with using phosphates in Europe, so why not in the USA?
