Hmm, that’s really weird! You know honestly, it seems like this recipe acts really differently in different people’s machines, so I don’t really have any advice. Sorry!

I made the dishwasher soap, but with Lemi shine and Baking soda also, the first time I used it it seemed to work great, but the next time I put the white vinegar in my rinse dispenser and my dishes had a terible film all over them. I don’t have real hard water, so I am just woundering if I even needed the vinegar. Any thoughts?

These are dishwasher recipes. For hand washing I just use diluted csatile soap.

it’s the salt, not the citric acid, that’s etching.

Do these recipes work well on washing dishes by hand (old fashioned way)? Most of these seems to say dishwashing………..

Great info..I’m in Texas too…I sincerely dislike the hard water. Wreaks havoc on my scalp. I have made homemade laundry detergent (recipe on my blog) and that seems to work great because washing soda helps make the hard water softer. I’m eager to try the dishwasher soap…I have a really hard time getting clean dishes. We’ll see!

The liquid is expensive, but a little goes a reeeeeally long way. That said, I’ve heard of people grating the bar soap and then boiling it in water to create liquid soap. Unfortunately I don’t know the proportions. Sorry!

Is there a way to convert castile bar soap to liquid? the liquid is so expensive, so I thought maybe using the bar would be cheaper. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks!
