Homemade dishwasher detergent
I finally found a dishwasher soap recipe that actually gets the dishes clean…
- 1 cup Washing soda or Baking soda (I’ve had a hard time finding washing soda lately so used the Baking soda.)
- 1 cup Borax (Borax and baking soda/wash are both natural disinfectants and mild abrasives.)
- 1/4 cup Kosher salt (reduces the effects of hard water)
- 1/4 cup citric acid
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of this mixture to your dishwasher detergent compartment along with 3 drops of dishwashing liquid. Do not use more than three drops. The dishwasher will overflow if you use too much dish soap!
Then splash 1/2 to 1 cup of white vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher and start the machine.
