製皂工人

這100%椰油家事皂一直是婆婆媽媽的最愛。洗淨力強易沖洗且又環保，真是無藥可救的好。只是素來懶惰的我，很多時候還是用洗碗機來洗碗，因此突發奇想，想用椰油皂來洗碗機洗看看，不知效果如何。

The 100% coconut oil soap is a perfect household soap. You can use it to clean almost everything in your house, of course, washing dishes. Most of time, I use dishwasher to clean dishes. One day, an idea came to my mind: why not use handmade soap in dish washer?

首先觀察一下洗碗機專用的皂粉。顆粒很細小，很硬，不易融水，幾乎沒有泡泡。我也不知道要如何讓手上的椰油皂可以有這樣的特性，唯一能做的就是把它刨絲後再搓細一點，期待它能順著水流洗乾淨每個碗盤。
First of all, I examed the detergent powder carefully. It is samll and hard like sand, no sud after mixing with water. I don't know how to make soap in this way. But, the only thing I can do is finely shredding the soap as shown in picture.



倒入洗碗機的裝皂盒。
Pour the soap in dispenser.


啟動洗碗機後，滿心期待這實驗可以很順利。
等洗完後，Oh，真是慘不忍睹，碗盤的上面好像備塗了一層東西上去，害我還自己洗一遍。不知道手工皂遇高溫熱水是不是還會產生什麼變化，我甚至懷疑碗盤上的那層物質是不是甘油...
無論如何，這次的實驗算是失敗，也期待有皂友能為我指點迷津。

With great expectation, I started the machine. Unfortunately, the result is not successful! All the dishes had coating on them. I had to wash again by myself... I don't know why it happened and I suspected that the coating might be glycerin... No doubt this experiment is fail. I still expect someone can show me the right way to use handmade soap in dishwasher.
