 Make your own dishwasher detergent

Ingredients :  Borax :Sodium bicarbonate (Baking Soda)

 

Directions : Combine equal parts of the Borax and Baking Soda in an empty container. Add two tablespoonfuls per machine load. (Increase proportion of soda in hard water areas) Use vinegar in the rinse cycle.

 

(Borax and sodium bicarbonate are both natural disinfectants and mild abrasives – just what you need to attack that food (as well as germs) stuck to those plates and cutlery. In point of fact, you may be interested to know that Borax is a common component in a lot of commercial detergents).

Detergent Cakes Up

 The detergent really cakes up and I think that there should be some way to run it unloaded to clean out all the lines to it or some type of dissolving agent. Can anyone help ?

Thanks,
