Here's another walk-through on a super easy home-made household product:
Dishwasher Detergent!
Why spend mega bucks on stuff that doesn't clean your dishes well anyways?
Well you don't have to any more!
This takes approx. 5 minutes.
Gather these items:
*Borax
*Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (sorry, missing from picture)
*Kosher Salt- I have Epsom Salt pictured and I'll explain that later..
*Lemi-Shine
*Citric Acid (in other words, unsweetened lemonade drink mix)
*Container with spout (your choice of course, this is just easier for me)
*measuring cups
1) Combine 1 cup Borax, 1 cup washing soda, 1/2 cup kosher salt (or epsom salt), & 1/2 cup citric acid (drink mix) to a large bowl or bucket.
Okay- so I was originally following a different recipe that had Epsom salt in its ingredients list, but that recipe called for an entire box of Borax as well as an entire box of washing soda- which I didn't have an entire box of, so I found this other recipe that called for smaller amounts, but called for Kosher salt instead of Epsom. I've used this now a couple of times and it works wonderfully.
2) Pour your mixture into your desired container and shake until mixed.
You're done!
Sprinkle a little of the Lemi-Shine in your dishwasher before each load. I don't know if this is necessary, but I've been doing it and my dishes have been coming out WAAAY cleaner than using Cascade!!!
So there you go, folks. Get to it!
