Sodium perc in dishwasher

[Robbo2234]

Hi all I have been using sodium perc in the the dishwasher for a while but finding it leaves a chalky coating on every thing I have adjusted the dose of perc and the rise aid setting and it still happens. Any tips?
thanks

I cut mine with 1/2 lectric soda. I don't have your problem. I'm not sure whether that's due to the lectric soda or not. Maybe give it a try. The other thing that occurs to me is that your dishwasher isn't getting hot enough to dissolve the perc, but I'm no expert.

Lectric soda = washing soda = sodium carbonate

It acts as a surfactant

That sounds like a good idea to use it in the dish washer. How much are you guys putting in.

I use a 50/50 mix of perc and lectric soda. 1 tablespoon does a great job.

I hope it not a temp thing is on the hottest setting. I have some washing soda I will give that a go and report back.

Whats your rinse aid. ?

Straight white vinegar is the go....the stuff from buninks is stronger than supermarket stuff

I use about 2 tbspn of straight sodium percarbonate and get crystal clear glassware.

Haha...that link bought up dishwasher liquid, bleach, rice crackers and ice....

 

[Robbo2234]

Well I guess its better than the other link that was around here a few years back!! Lol

Just incase you want want to do the dishes and have a snack at the same time!

I did a teaspoon of perc and teaspoon of lectric and there is a huge improvement but still not shiny glassware. I will adjust the recipe and see how that goes.

I saw on ahh 3:1 ratio of met and perc so I will try that next time.

sorry mate I meant how much do use, sodium percarbonate and vinegar?
cheers.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

well you dont mix them together

 

[Kingy]

ah righto I thought you where using sodium percarbonate as a soaker/washer and vinegar as a rinse aid.
Anyways ive (the missus) been using 2 tablespoons of percarbonate and a supermarket rinse aid, it cleans everything really well. Glass comes up beautiful.

Correct.

Although when washing car parts then you will need to use more sodium-percarbonate ......not that I would advise doing this if you want to stay married, but perfectly legit if your single

Ok I am happy with 2 to 1 ratio lectric to perc. Glasses came up shiny as! Using one teaspoon dosage
