See p. 18: It is not clear whether the choice of detergent or the type of plastic in the scrubbing brush has an effect on the outcome of this experiment. However, cold fusion is usually sensitive to materials, and the cause of the reaction is not known, so we recommend that people trying to replicate use similar materials, including a detergent with a similar formula. Also, as noted above, we recommend an air-flow calorimeter. In other words, who knows? But if it don't work, try that stuff. At least check to see if your detergent has similar ingredients. I say you should start by doing the closest replication you can. If it works, you can then try all kinds of variations to see if you can improve it. But you start by following the instructions to the letter. By the way, the name of that detergent is cute. It is Kyukyuto which is the sound clean wet dishes make when you wife them. Kyu! Kyu! Literally and figuratively cute.
