[quote=Anonymous]Detergents stopped working because they took all the phosphates out of them. Phosphates are what kept the dirt/grease from simply reattaching to clothes and the washer. If you want really clean clothes, get a tub of trisodium phosphate at the hardware store and add about a 1/2 teaspoon to your wash. It would probably be good to run a clean cycle with a small amount, if nothing else. And yes I know why they took phosphates out, and it was dumb — the tiny amount of phosphates in detergent are a drop in the bucket compared to other sources (agriculture, mostly) & not what causes water quality problems.
