Washing soda for dishwasher

Think I read on here somewhere that you can use just washing soda in the dishwasher to wash the dishes along with vinegar for the rinse aid.I have been using Wendyl's mix but just wanted to check that straight washing soda was an option!!
Thanks in advance :)

I have used straight washing soda when I have run out of powder... No problema :)

Commercial dishwasher powder has a whole lot of quite strong chemicals in it, and it doesn't cause damage. You can find out, I looked it up on the net.

However straight washing soda isn't enough.
