Re: Borax - Front loading washer

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Be aware that borax does not dissolve. I use it to clean. I put about an inch or

so of borax in a gallon jug, add water & shake. I wait days foor it to settle.

The water is then slippery & the borax forms a rock at the bottom of the

container - especially bad for septics.

Borax doesn't rinse well either if that matters to you. You sort of need vinegar

or citric acid (available at a pharmacy) to rinse it off. The detergent I use is

Country Save powder. I put about a half scoop in a jar with a liitle water &

shake & leave it til laundry time. This dissolves but it doesn't dissolve well

if I just put it in the machine.But orax is far less expensive.

detergent how much borax should I use and how should it be applied, should I put

it in the soap dispenser or in the drum itself?

I would add it to the drum itself but I don't know how much. May be you

could call the frigidaire service dept.
