How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness.
Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon.
Using too little detergent can
result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or
spotting.
Using too much detergent in soft water
can cause etching to some glassware which is
surface damage that appears like a film but cannot
be wiped off.
Your local water company, water
softener company or county extension agent can
tell you the water hardness in your area.

place the tab or pack directly on the bottom
