White King water softener might be your best choice, the MDS sheet says it has a blend if phosphates in in it?? along with sodium carbonate? I`am currently trying to find out for sure myself, Hoping it may be a alternative to ordering TSPP on line? We shall see! if I find out for sure, I will post a thread! Stan

For a front loading/H-Axis machine 1/2 cup of borax may be too much. OTOH with top loading it could be fine.
Borax can be difficult to rinse from fabrics, so you might want to go with less and then adjust dosage as required. Dosage also depends upon what you want the stuff for; one uses borax for washing that has a bit of a whiff, and 1/4 or less in either the Miele or AEG is fine. But then again also vary dosage by what sort of detergent is being used. That is liquids or powder. |
