My dh uses borax for curing his fish eggs. I think it works as a preservative. I'll ask him later on.

Could it be the dishwasher and not the detergent that's the problem? We use Trader Joe's powder or 7th gen. and they both work great! Our dishwasher is only 5 years old and i did notice when we got it (a free replacement on the Sears warranty ) that the dishes were definitely cleaner with the new washer. And maybe we're lucky with water here too. But you know, even if the dishes didn't get super clean I wouldn't use the regular detergent because it leaves a film on the dishes that I can feel and taste. I notice it when I'm at other people's homes. Blech!

About the vinegar and peroxide -- Because of how they interact they have to be stored separately. Also, there's a post earlier in the thread that says that the peroxide will explode if exposed to light for an extended period of time.
