Ordinary dish wash liquid, you know, the stuff by the sink.
And this is enough - not more. Just agitate the tank gently with this in the final rinse and pour it slowly out.

Btw why detergent might remove any stains from water that evaporates over the film surface? Our water is bad that if I add anti calcium products white stains remain on our dishes.

It is a surfactant, it will disperse any water. Drying marks appear when drops of water are allowed to stay on the surface. You see it on your car after light rain if the car has gotten wet then dried. This can happen with film. A surfactant such as that in dish wash liquid will break the surface tension and will stop droplets from forming on the surface of the film. Its the droplets that cause the white marks.
Do the final rinse in the detergent solution and leave it there, don't rinse it off.
Any drying marks can be polished off if they are on the shiny side of the film, any on the emulsion side would have to be pretty bad if they are to show on a scan or print. Use detergent and forget about them.
Your dishes will have had the detergent rinsed off them, that's why there are drying marks. You are not going to eat food off your film so a little detergent residue (which is invisible I may add) will not harm you as it may on a plate.
 Alex - just develop your first film and stop worrying about these little things too much. I think you are overcomplicating things in your mind. Developing a film is as easy as making a cup of tea. Just dont use milk and sugar

Hi thanks
I did not know this trick with the detergent. Currently I am waiting for my DD-X to arrive... The delivery was too much delayed.. Tonight I will be practicing putting the films in the black bag...
Otherwise I guess that is it.
Regards

I am posting back to announce, as I have promised, that my first film was developed at bathroom.
My first scanned negatives would appear around the end of this week.
