Homemade Dishwasher Detergent


Ingredients

1 box Borax (4 lbs 12 oz)
1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (3 lbs 7 oz)
1/2 cup unsweetened Lemonade Drink Mix or Citric Acid (ex: 24 packages of Kool-aid)*
3 cups Epsom Salt**

Mix ingredients together and pour into sealed storage container. Put 1 Tbsp of detergent in the soap dispenser in the dishwasher. Add white vinegar to the rinse aid dispenser in the dishwasher if your dishes are cloudy after washing.


This recipe cost me less than $10! I love saving money, and I like knowing what ingredients are in my detergents. I have had no problem using this detergent in my dishwasher.

*Lemonade will stain soap dispenser yellow.
**Epsom Salt will cause your detergent to form hard spots.
