Its hard to get dish washer detergent with phosphates these day however its still available for commercial operations. The phosphates make the dishes much cleaner but can cause algae and other problems in the sewage systems. At home we don't use the dish washer much these days but it used to do a pretty crappy job until once I added a little bit of TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) to the detergent.
