  3. I'm wondering if this recipe can be used for sink washing as well?

  4. I believe this is safe for sink washing also. Borax is a safe ingredient for kids homemade "Goop".

  5. Does this leave a milky film on dishes? I have tried various eco recipes, and various eco premade products, and they all leave my dishes dirtier than they were to begin with!
