Re: The Best Birthday Present Ever!!!!!
Hi NaturalRN,
I was at work when I wrote that post and I had to leave it three times because I got interrupted so the last time I came back to it I just wanted to hurry up and get it done lol. I meant to clarify about the dishwasher usage but just forgot.
My husband found some old half gallon glass canning jars that were my grandmother's in our attic. They are kind of a blue/teal color and so pretty. I wanted to use them for my tinctures so I hand washed them because they were so dirty but then I put them in the dishwasher and ran them through with regular dishwasher soap. I took them out and set them down meaning to put lids on them but I never did (it's been months) so I felt like they had dust in them. I put them back in the dishwasher and used 3 droppersful of the MII regular soap and ran them through again.
They all seemed fine when I got them out. I ran some water in one of them to make sure there was no soap residue and there wasn't. But I'm not really sure that using that tiny amount of soap would get dirty dishes clean. I was afraid to use any more than just droppersful because I was afraid I'd see bubbles coming out the dishwasher lol!
So I really can't recommend using it for the dishwasher but in my case for what I needed to do it worked fine and no bubbles coming out! ;) I had no idea they made non-foaming soap, that must be new since I bought all my products, I guess I'll have to check that out because I'm sure it would be much safer for the dishwasher.
I've only had my laundry ball for a little over a month but I do laundry just about every night and it's working great. I think that Uny told me she's had hers for 3, 4 or 5 years and is still using it. I swear I wish I could figure out how that works, all I can say is that is sure does and once you pay for it that's a HUGE savings in laundry soap for me because I do so much laundry. They will replace the ball for up to three years if something happens to it but I've read about people having it lots longer than that. The people I bought my ball from said they had been using theirs years longer than the three year period.
I'm glad you brought up about using the Neutralizer in the rinse cycle of the wash, I was going to write about that but I wanted to get the post done and forgot. Yes, I do use the Neutralizer in the rinse water, I feel like it makes the clothes feel like I've used fabric softener. I use a cap full of it for each load, the cap on the bottle is tiny so it's not much at all but enough to make a difference. I also keep some in a spray bottle and spray my face with it after I wash it with the MII soap, then I put the gel on and when that dries I put on the moisturizer.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all things Miracle II!!!!!!
