Saving Money on Dishwasher Soap

RE: Saving Money on Dishwasher Soap By LizCar (37) Contact I don't put any detergent in the prewash cup at all. If I run low anyway, I put about 1/2 detergent and 1/2 baking soda. I have used the 1 part detergent, 1 part baking soda, and 1 part borax recipe, but I'll have to research the borax thing...I thought it was all natural and harmless.

The soda will serve as detergent on the first wash. You only need detergent on second wash.

I keep a 1 T meas. spoon in the dw soap box (I have poured the soap into a scoopable container,) Posted on 08/03/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Saving Money on Dishwasher Soap By sara (Guest Post) borax should not be used as a dishwashing detegent ingredient. It can be deadly and cause seizures. Please do research on this. But it is probably the best natural cleaner for anything that will not be consumed or hold anything that will be consumed.

It can cause seizures, etc. I really don't recommend it as a dishwashing detergent but for anything else that doesnt' get eaten it is a fantastic natural cleaner.

The borax helps the dishsoap cut through grease, and it makes my white cafe-style dishes shine like new. That huge box of borax costs $2.99 at Target, and I can use it for cleaning nearly everything, so it's a time and $$$ saver.

Contact A few years ago I learned the the dishwasher could do just as well using only half of the detergent that I thought was required to clean them. Now I fill the cups only half way full and save alot of money doing it. I do rinse the dishes off before loading them though. I never have to rewash anything. Try it and see what you think.
