I'll use Dawn detergent and well water on a first run used jar, rinse with copious amounts of well water and several times with DW to eliminate any potential mineral spots. Once I get a jar that works well...and most do...I only rinse with DW. [if that] Generally, I just cap it tight so it won't dry. Keeps the bug and dust out as well.

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.
