Can you pour the soda in the
dishwasher The answer is obvious: you can use it. The main thing is to know the application technique, so that the substance will bring a positive result, and not be wasted.
The basis of soda is sodium bicarbonate( Na2CO3).It is alkali( which is the substance) included in the composition of laundry detergents and detergents. They break persistent pollution, break down fats and are able to clean any kitchen utensils: from plates to baking sheets.
Important! The use of food or soda ash does not mean that the need for special equipment is eliminated. Na2CO3 can be an additional helper in washing, but not a substitute for powder, gel, tablet, rinse aid or salt.
Experts do not recommend the use of soda in its pure form, despite the fact that it is present in the composition of every second detergent-cleaner. This is due to the poor solubility of the component - having tried to dissolve a small amount of powder in a glass of water, you will see for yourself.
The precipitate does not immediately cause a breakdown - it gradually accumulates in the circulating pump, taking it out of working condition. Therefore, the replacement of powder or gel with soda in its pure form will lead to the fact that breakdowns are unlikely to be avoided. And if you alternate homemade products with special ones and do not forget about regular cleaning of the MMP, then there will be no harm from such savings.
Ways to use
Soda can be a full-fledged component of a powder or gel for washing or cleaning agent( from scale, scale, stains).Usually in everyday life is the second option. Consider the popular recipes for homemade.
Caution! Calcined analogue is more effective than food grade, therefore it requires careful handling and thorough washing of dishes.
Aqueous solution of
By dissolving a few teaspoons of Na2CO3 in water, you can use the resulting liquid to clean the walls of the hopper of the machine, dish containers and filters.
Soda + Vinegar
Cleaning with vinegar and soda will eliminate odors in the PMM bunker. Proceed as follows:
- Put a cup with vinegar on any basket and run the machine idle for a long mode.
- Pour half a glass of baking soda and turn on the short program.
With
Peroxide and Oil Mix a glass of soda with 10 drops of any essential oil. Add to the resulting porridge 1.5 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide. Mix thoroughly, place on a board or other surface and dry. Pour the resulting powder in the PMM, and in the top container, put 0.5 cups of vinegar. Start the sink - at the end of the program there will be no leaks left.
How to make
powder Take a laundry detergent that contains no phosphates and fragrances - the children's version is perfect for this purpose. Mix with soda and use 25 grams per 1 cycle.
Recipe with calcined analogue
Mix regular laundry detergent with a small amount of soda ash. If you are afraid of using such a “thermonuclear” mixture for washing dishes instead of powder, you can soak pans or pans in it - then it will be easier to clean or wash them.
Important! Soda mixtures require particularly thorough rinsing of dishes, so use special rinser .
How to make a tablet with your own hands
One of the most popular tools among owners of MMP - capsules or, more simply, tablets. They are far from being like a pack of aspirin, so in order to save, make them yourself, taking baking soda as a basis.
Take the following ingredients:
- 250 grams of magnesia( ask the pharmacy for sodium sulfate);
- 100 grams of borax;
- 75 grams of soda;
- juice from half a lemon or a tablespoon of citric acid dissolved in water.
Mix the dry ingredients, then add lemon juice - you will see the “pop” familiar from childhood. When the reaction stops, spread the mixture into molds( ice molds will do).Dry the tablets and they are completely ready for use. From the capsules "3 in 1" they are distinguished by the absence of rinse aid. Therefore, do not neglect its separate use for maximum washing quality.
Note! Dissolving the tablet in water, you get a liquid tool that can also successfully wash any dishes.
Mustard and soda: reviews
Mustard is a famous detergent used by our grandmothers, so a reasonable question is brewing: will the mustard and soda handle the dishes if you pour this mixture into the dishwasher? We decided to cite as an example a few reviews from the thematic forums, so that you yourself decide whether or not to use it.
Tatiana, Ufa
Complete nonsense! Powder ran out, read a lot of tips and poured soda with mustard powder into the bunker. Divorce divorced in every sense. I do not advise anyone.
Olga, Chelyabinsk
Why drive a machine in vain? Dissolve the mustard in a basin of water, soak the dishes, then rinse with a sponge and soda - and everything will shine. If you rinse well. Not the fact that the machine will accept such an improvised tool, and it will be 5 times faster with your hands.
Alina, Nizhny Novgorod
I liked it: I mixed a couple of tablespoons of powder with a spoon of mustard and two tablespoons of soda. Left for half an hour to dissolve. Poured and washed the dishes. But it is a chore and the smell is not as pleasant as from tablets, I will no longer bother with
. Opinion of manufacturers PMM
In the user manuals, manufacturers clearly prescribe the need to use factory formulas for washing and cleaning. And some strongly do not recommend to fill homemade tools in the machine. Probably worth to reckon with. In the end, if the dishwasher breaks, the service center may refuse warranty repairs. Therefore, if you want to experiment, wait until the end of the warranty period.
