When I wash dishes with chlorinated water, it takes an inordinate amount of
scrubbing. Most dishes/cups come out of the dishwasher still stained with
chlorinated water.  But when I'm at a house that has well water, dishes get
clean just by soaking in water. So I would assume well water and soap can be
used to clean glass sufficiently for silver water storage. Jess

  Subject: CS>washing jars?


  Ok, please forgive my ignorance.   We do have a dishwasher, and I have
been using quart mason jars,
  clean from the dishwasher, dried on high heat, for production of our CSW.
Is this not acceptable?
  If not, why not?   When it's done, we remove the generator thing and put a
lid on it, and just use
  out of it till it's gone.  In the meantime, I get a clean jar (also been
thru the DW) out of the  cabinet and make
  more.  If I am doing this wrong, please correct me.

  thanks much,
  Beth H, still a beginner.
