I read online about mixing just baking soda and borax together in equal parts to make a dishwasher powder. Could this simple recipe actually work? Notes online gave mixed reviews, but one person said they added white vinegar to the rinse agent compartment. I think that is what’s needed to make the glasses shine! I added clove and orange essential oil for antimicrobial action and aromatic pleasure.
