LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. -- Consumers who have noticed a change in how their dishwasher is working are not alone.

Joyce Bohn is a little reluctant to open her dishwasher these days, she said.


"Oh boy, I was afraid of this," said Bohn.

Her dishes were coming out of the dishwasher looking like the appliance had not even been turned on.

"The glasses were so terrible you could hardly see through them. They had a real bad feel to the outside," said Bohn.

At first, Bohn thought her 20-year-old dishwasher was the problem.

"We went out and bought a new dishwasher to the tune of $759," said Bohn.

But that didn't even get the dishes cleaner. So she called Proctor & Gamble -- the company that makes her dishwashing powder.

"I have been using Cascade powder for years, ever since I had a dishwasher," said Bohn.

She was shocked to get this response on the other end of the line: "We've been getting a high volume of calls of complaints because the powder is no longer working. You should stop using it."

As of July 1, Pennsylvania joined 15 other states in banning all phosphates in dishwashing powder. ....

Not to worry  though it is environmentally friendly.  :whatever:

Yep, it's environmentally friendly in the same way that low flow showers and toilets are.

I was just thinking the same thing.  Guess this faux-green movement means we're headed back to the days of wash tubs, bathing in the local pond and outhouses.

I don't know what's more funny? The picture and caption you had wrote or the fact that the "greenies" actually believe in this globull/environment bull crap.
