I ran out of dish soap a few weeks ago, and I came across this same recipe. I found that my dishes were clean, but glassware and ceramic had a film on it. It wiped off easily with a towel.
Note that I tried this exactly 1 time.
- dreamcompiler 6y agoAdding a teaspoon of Lemi-shine (which is just citric acid, which you can buy in bulk online) to the late rinse cup will solve that problem. (The late rinse cup is the one with the door that seals; the early soap cup is the one the door doesn't seal; it is labeled "pre-wash" in the article photo. The pre-wash cup is where you should put the baking soda/Dawn mixture.)

- core-questions 6y agoOxi-Clean is what I use 99.99% of the time. TSP is a rarity, and since the vast, vast majority of people here are never putting it in the drains, I don't think it's going to be the end of the world.
