Does anyone have the home made recipe for the store brand Tylex that is used to spray on the shower encloser after each shower? We had it but can't find it now.
Tilex Formula = aqueous solution of 3% Sodium hypochlorite (i.e., household bleach); 1% sodium hydroxide (i.e., lye, oven or drain cleaner). The hydroxide cuts the soap scum (dissolution) and the bleach disinfects (oxidation). Given that household bleach is ~6% and oven cleaner is ~5%, 1-pint of solution would be to take 8 oz household bleach and add 3 oz of oven cleaner, and 5 oz of water. However, that just sounds too strong to me, so you may want to dilute as you see fit.
Editor's Note: Jet Dry is an dishwasher additive. It goes in during the rinse cycle to help dishes rinse and dry without streaks. I don't know if you have a product like it in Australia.
