Wisconsin Phosphate Detergent Ban Changes Laundry Rules
Wisconsin will enforce a phosphate detergent ban from July 1 1979 to June 30 1982 affecting laundry products dishwashing compounds and more. The law aims to curb lake eutrophication by limiting phosphorus in cleaners triggering changes in washing practices and prompting use of non phosphate detergents water softeners and hotter water. Proponents note potential water quality gains while households may face higher costs and adjustments in routines.
