homemade dishwasher detergent
okay, at first I was skeptical at making my own because I like cascade with bleach - but we do have hard water and when I washed all the baby bottles, it left a film on them.
So, I followed a link I had saved that Courtney posted a long time ago, and made my own.
BEST.STUFF.EVER. -- And so cheap to make a huge batch!! Works better than my cascade, and no film. I made a batch, and put it in a big ziploc bag, and for a few days after you kinda have to squish it around to keep it from clumping - after that, I put it in a labeled fliptop clear jar.
Home Made Dishwasher Detergent
- 2 c borax
- 2 c Arm & Hammer washing soda
- 2 c lemi shine*
- 1 c kosher salt
Re: homemade dishwasher detergent
wth is lemi shine?
I made some once with a recipe that I think was identical to this but it used citric acid instead of lemi shine.
It didn't work so well. Eventually left a film. Bah, I really wanted to like it (like you said, so cheap!)
Do you use a specific amount for each load or just fill up the soap container?
Thanks for sharing!
Lemishine is a product in the cleaning isle, for your dishwasher - I think it *is* citric acid, not sure though.
Anyway, its a tbsp per load - I put a tbsp in the container, and then like 1/2 in the prewash spot.
I found a Chefmate coffee scoop at target that I tied on the container.
1 box Borax
1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
24 packages of lemondate kool-aid
3 cups Epsom Salt
(1 Tbsp of this mixture per load)
