Detso is a wonderful new cleanser, and water softener. A teaspoonful in your dish water makes dishwashing easy. You need no soap. Simply soak the dishes. Then rinse and dry them. The glasses will sparkle. The dishes will be spotless. And you will be finished in half the usual time. Nor will your hands be red and rough. Just a little Detso takes the harshness out of hard water—softens it so that it leaves your skin soft and white. Buy a package at your grocer’s. Only 10c.
