"Spokane residents smuggle suds over green brands"

SPOKANE, Wash. The quest for squeaky-clean dishes has turned some law-abiding people in Spokane into dishwater-detergent smugglers. They are bringing Cascade or Electrasol in from out of state because the eco-friendly varieties required under Washington state law don't work as well. Spokane County became the launch pad last July for the nation's strictest ban on dishwasher detergent made with phosphates, a measure aimed at reducing water pollution. The ban will be expanded statewide in July 2010, the same time similar laws take effect in several other states.

But it's not easy to get sparkling dishes when you go green.

Good thing I can smuggle it from Mexico. I wonder what prices my black market dish soap can fetch.

Vinegar and lemon juice. I use the ECO+ and it leaves a white powder on my dishes.
