How much phosphate do you add to dishwasher soap?
From the research I have done, I have discovered that most dishwasher detergents have between 10-25% phosphate. This would mean adding between 1/2 and 1 Tablespoon of trisodium phosphate (TSP) to 1/4 cup of dishwasher detergent. If you are hand-washing your dishes, I would use the lower amount AND wear gloves so as not to damage your skin. TSP is caustic (but not as bad as something like lye). You can also add TSP to laundry detergent at the lower levels, 1/2 tbsp per 1/4 cup of detergent. Search the web for trisodium phosphate, there's about a million other uses!
How much trisodium phosphate should you mix with laundry detergent?
I've researched it. American brands have .5% mix of phosphate, while brands in Mexico have 5-7% mix. For a mix of 1%, half a teaspoon to a cup of detergent would work. If your locality bans the sale of detergents with phospates, you can add that much to laundry detergent. A small amount should be added to dishwasher detergent.

How do you get dye stains out of polyeurathane?
You can probably remove the dye with dishwasher detergent. I used dishwasher detergent to remove jet black permanent hair dye from a white formica counter top. It removed the dye 100%. You couldn't even see a trace of the dye. If dishwasher detergent can remove black permanent hair dye, it can remove just about any dye. You want the dishwasher detergent that says it DOES contain bleach. Pour the detergent on the marks. Let that sit overnight. Then wipe the detergent away with wet paper towels. For some reason, dishwasher detergent works better than Clorox. (I tried Clorox, and it didn't work for me.)

What happenes if you put regular dish detergent in the dishwasher?
It works without any difference that I could notice.Addendum:It will depend on how much and what type you use. Most regular liquid dish detergents foam heavily with agitation. If this happens inside your dishwasher, the seal may leak. Dishwasher detergent (like laundry detergent) is formulated to be less sudsing. do not, however, make the mistake of using laundry detergent in your dishwasher. You would actually be better off running the dishwasher without soap.
