How to Add Tri-Sodium Phosphate to Dishwashers
- 1). Fill your washing machine's detergent reservoir with automatic dish washing detergent to just below the fill line.
- 2). Add 1/4 teaspoon of tri-sodium phosphate on top of the detergent.
- 3). Close the lid of the detergent dispenser. You want the tri-sodium phosphate and detergent to dispense at the same time in the wash cycle.
- 4). Run the dishwasher as usual with a full load.
- 5). Inspect the dishes. If they are not as clean as desired, increase the amount of tri-sodium phosphate by 1/4-teaspoon on the next load. Stop increasing the amount once your dishes come out sparkling clean.
