How much dishwasher powder do you put in a laundry?

I read that chefs keep their white coats white by washing them with dishwasher powder instead of laundry detergent. The article said that this would work on all "whites" but did not say how much to use. Does anyone know how much dishwasher powder to use in an average size washing machine?

  1. No kidding! Never heard of that. I work in a restaurant and they way we keep our whites whites is Borax if they take them home. Otherwise we have a laundry service do them. I like to know that one on dishwashing detergent.
  2. Ummmm.. wash powder maybe?
  3. Sorry can't help I don't wash---only dirty people wash.
  4. Try using a half a cup and see if that works. If not, add a little more the next time. Why not ask a chef?
