If you use the dry detergent, just put it directly in the tub. I would imagine the liquid is ok in the dispenser, but I haven't made the liquid kind yet. I really like the dry.

It gets all the little fingerprints and smudges off and doesn't leave any streaks. Vinegar works really well on stainless.

It looks a lot like the "regular" baking soda (Arm & Hammer) box, except it's a yellow box instead of the orange one. And it's always on the bottom shelf! Walmart also sells the Fels-Naptha soap. The problem in finding both items (and Borax) may be that the store is out of it. I usually buy 2 boxes of Borax & both A&H products and a couple bars of the soap at a time - when I can find it!! If you are confident that your WM doesn't sell these products, talk to the department manager & ask them to. Chances are, you aren't the only one looking for it!!

My homemade formula seems inconsistent and often leaves my glassware cloudy, but not always. Mine uses Borax, Washing Soda, Citric Acid. I have also added vinegar to the rinse cycle instead of Jet Dry and extra Lemishine to the bottom of the dishwasher but it does not seem to matter. Any suggestions?
