Green is good, right?
Did you hear about the residents of Spokane Wash. who are forced to travel to Idaho to purchase real dish washing detergent so they can have clean dishes?
It seems the city of Spokane and surrounding Wash. cities have seen fit to outlaw the sale of regular dish washing detergents containing phosphates. Their alternative to the regular detergents is a "environmentally friendly "green" detergent. The only problem is that when used with hard water, the green detergent does not clean at all. Spokane citizens are complaining that their dishes are coming out of their dishwashers still dirty, greasy and unsanitary. They are forced to hand wash their dishes afterward. These same citizens are forced to drive to Idaho to purchase legal phosphate detergents so they can have clean, sanitary dishes.
Possibly this is a case of the environmentalists going a bit too far? How many of these "green" people do you think are serving food to their families on dirty dishes?  And how much fresh water is wasted by having to re-wash the dishes? To have the "green" detergent work, these citizens will be forced into purchasing a water softener to add to their water system. How much electricity does it take to operate these water softener systems?

Re: Green is good, right?
I've seen the line of cleaning products "Green Works" on the shelves at Walmart, I passed them up and stuck with stuff I know works best.
I noticed the other day that "Green Works" now stocked in the clearance aisle, I guess people think like I did, or they did try them and didn't like them.

I was in Target the other day looking for dish washing detergent and wash detergent. I too, saw the "green" products and thought about giving them a try.......but changed my mind , fearing they would not work well. Instead, I got the tried and true brands!!
Maybe next time.........

Surely this an April Fool prank?
Environmentally friendly dishwasher detergent?? Surely if you want to be environmentally friendly you don't HAVE a dishwasher!
The environmentally friendly dishwasher detergent is on sale in the aisle next to the healthy cigarettes and slimming chocolate.

Actually, it was proven a long time ago that dishwashers are more efficient ( now it's termed "environmentally responsible"  than washing by hand. Environmentalist do not dispute this.

Re: Green is good, right?
OMG!!!! I totally agree with VB!!! (Gasp)
That's a very rare WN benchmark....
I thought of dishwashers as being a luxury at one time, but since I got one( energy efficient) for a wedding present years ago, I have certaintly changed my mind about that.
Not only efficient, but there are some health benefits from being able to sanitize too. The time I would have spent doing them by hand, now is spent on gardening, charity work, more time with family...just an overall "life improver" for me.
