Phospheric Acid In The Dishwasher !
Permalink  
 


At this moment, I am running some Acid through my Automatic Dishwasher,.
This is a last ditch effort to save the old girl.
We have hard water here In Tampa, FL.
The dishwasher is not cleaning real good, leaving a soapy rinse film on glasses.
It is my HOPE that the acid will clean it out ?
It hasn't blown up, YET, LOL
I have some acid in the wash cycle, and will place some more in the rinse cycle.
Then, I will run a couple of rinse only cycles, and maybe one more wash cycle to be sure the acid is all rinsed away. smile

Tucker, I know how you feel. I grew up in the county where we had well water and it left not only a film, but turned everything green after prolonged exposure.

Heck Kevin, I HAVE Phosphoric Acid just sitting unused anyway, so what the heck ?

Here is an excerpt from a  US Patent supporting it

It has been found that certain acids, such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, and the like, are preferred for use in washing appliances cleaners. Indeed, such acids show a better removal of limescale as compared to the currently used acids such as citric acid. Indeed, such acids are preferred over citric acid, as they have a lower pKa and/or molecular weight, and thereby provide a higher reserve acidity and/or a better weight effectiveness. In general, it has been found that acids like phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and oxalic acid, show a better removal of limescale when used in washing appliances cleaners as compared to citric acid 

Well, It ran through the wash cycle OK, and now the innards are bright and shiny, LOL

So, added it to the rinse as well, and it is running as we speak.

The Ol' Country Boy at work, LOL

My Girl WANTED a new Dishwasher no

LOL

JUST washed a LOAD of dishes in our "NEW" Dishwasher biggrin
Came out CLEAN as a whistle smile
Just for informations sake, we used 4 ozs of Phosphoric Acid in both the wash, and the rinse cycles.

Good job on reviving the old girl (dishwasher) and getting her INERDS cleaned and renewed to help keep your dishes looking their BEST.

Chemistry and science and country boy know how....a great combo!

Have a GREAT SUNDAY, Chris! biggrin
