Would it be OK to use table salt for some brine washes. The table salt is your normal Iodized table salt ingredients are salt, calcium silicate,
dextrose, potassium iodide.

One can buy in most stores local to me, in place of iodized salt, natural sea salt, albeit more costly.
The latter is possibly better as there is no calcium silicate (an insoluble drying agent), and I do vaguely recollect reading about some silicate salt
as having the ability to impede at least one reaction (see, for example, https://www.google.com/patents/US5851420 ).
So, if you can afford it, go for the sea salt.

Canning/pickling salt, or kosher salt is a better choice. Both of these that I have list the ingredients as simply 'salt'. IIRC canning/picking salt
is a little better for lab use than kosher, but I think both are satisfactory.

Dish washer salt comes in multi kilo packs for as little as £0.5 per kilo. Usually with no additives but large 1cm granules.
