Dishwasher soap update

Okay, so I didn't tell you about the soap until I knew it worked. It worked.

And then... over the July 4th holiday weekend...it stopped. The soap was leaving a film and nasty-ness on all our glass things! RRRRRrrrr!!! The cascade left a film on the plastics, the natural stuff, a film on the glass! Frustrating.....

Sooooo... I did something that is supposed to fix the problem. You add citric acid. (you know - the stuff added to applesauce or banana baby food so they don't turn brown, also a form of Vitamin C)

So the recipe is as it was, but with the same amount of Citric acid as salt:

1/2 cup each: Washing Soda and Borax
1/4 cup each: Coarse salt and Citric Acid

Shake your container and still use one tablespoon per load.

It seems to do the trick and solve the problem. We will see... we will see....
