Is the soap inside the pod clear?

They use to be clear now the pods are yellowish. They recently added a "natural cleaning stain booster" to the Free & Clear detergent. It's on their web site http://www.all-laundry.com/. I haven't figured out what the "Natural" stuff is yet.

Not sure about that. I don't recommend this product anyway. After a couple months of use it went haywire and dumped its entire load of soap a couple of items. We gave up on it and went back to the cheap Lysol dispensers.

you would need to use a very mild dilution if you were not going to rinse...it is a good sudsing soap!

That is a good question and I do not know the answer. Maybe you should contact the seller who made this soap and ask them. Best wishes.

A minimal amount of soap with water works fine after each use, followed by rinses with hot water. If you go a couple of fills without cleaning it, then I would suggest using straight vinegar. The follow with a few rinses of hot water.

Mine is just stained from use. I'd imagine you'd have to wash it after every use to keep it bleach white. I've tried all types of soap and it's just stained.

I use baby soap... Even with the pink beauty blender it still looks a little dirty after cleaning... Like it's stained, but it feels clean.

No it is not soap. I have used this for 10+ years and it is wonderful stuff. There is a soap and it is green. I use it for cleaning. It is great stuff too.

Due to the Ebola outbreak I have stopped using black soap because no one can tell me if the virus can survive in the soap being that it's made in Africa. What is your opinion to my question. To answer your question. No it's not normal for these items to be in the soap.or a moldy look.

I am very sorry that I cannot help you with this problem. I have only made soap once and it was only about five months ago. Sorry

A friend who decided to keep her soap as a decoration (we did flower shapes) has had it for 2 months now and it looks perfect. Being soap, bacteria growth shouldn't be a concern.

I wash by hand and in dishwasher. Never had a soapy taste at all. Always spray (Pam) butter flavored oil into them before I cook the eggs.

NO. This is really strong stuff and could stain metal. It is made to come out at a certain time in the cycle. I noticed that my dishes are rinsed down and moistened before the pod is released. It's strange that nowhere online the issue of using these outside the dispenser is addressed. You might want to contact Cascade about this, since this is just my opinion based on one dishwasher.

I'm not sure. I haven't been using any soap, just rinsing with hot water and letting the components air dry before I reassemble. Hope this helps.

Check to see if there is a build up of soap where it dispenses. Many times, when there is a build up, the sensor acts "flaky", dispensing soap whenever it wants. Simply clean off the build up and you should be good. At least, this is what I have found on several of mine.

there is a hole but if you keep the soap on top of it all the time it will plug with soap residue.

I really think it would not be a good idea if you plan on using the soap. Read what it is made of
