The invention concerns the use of organic redox compounds, in particular ascorbic acid, indole, methionine, N-(C1-C4 alkyl) glycines, 2-phenylglycine or coupler and/or development compounds selected from the group comprising diaminopyridines, aminohydroxypyridines, dihydroxypyridines, heterocyclic hydrazones, aminohydroxypyrimidines, dihydroxypyrimidines, tetraaminopyrimidines, triaminohydroxypyrimidines, diaminodihydroxypyrimidines, dihydroxynaphthalines, naphthols, pyrazolones, hydroxyquinolines, aminoquinolines, primary aromatic amines which have, in addition, a free hydroxy or amino group, or a hydroxy or amino group substituted with C1-C4 alkyl or C2-C4 hydroxyalkyl groups, at the ortho, meta or para position, and di- or trihydroxybenzenes as silver-corrosion protection agents in dishwasher washing agents, in particular low-alkali dishwaster washing agents.
