These little "beauties" are dishwasher cubes. As you can tell from my picture, I molded these in an ice cube tray, but other molds would definitely make a cuter finished product. These cubes are made from Borax, Washing Soda, Epsom Salts, and Lemon Juice.
Do they work well? I always had trouble with the dry dishwasher soaps not dissolving properly.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about the powdered detergents leaving traces of the powder behind in the machine. I don't have a problem with any residue on the dishes. I think these work better than traditional powder, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the same as a liquid. Overall, I'm fairly happy with them, but if I experiment with the next batch more and find any improvements, I'll let you know!
DeleteI checked with my mother who used three over the weekend. She said her cubes dissolved completely and left no residue in the machine or dishes. She also said they did a great job cleaning the dishes.
