DIY All Natural Dishwasher Detergent

I am slowly changing out our Household

and Beauty products to more natural ones.

 

I've already switched my Laundry Detergent

and Fabric Softener to All Natural products.

 

This week I thought that I would

focus on the kitchen area.

 

I've been using my All Natural Dishwasher Detergent

for a month now. 

 

You only have to use 1 tablespoon of detergent.

 

I was a little hesitant about only using 1 tablespoon

of detergent on my dirty dishes.

 

I did not rinse off any of my dishes before

placing them into the dishwasher, nor

did I add any rinse agent to the dishwasher.

 I wanted to see just how clean my

  glasses and dishes would turn out by

using this simple recipe.

 

I was pleasantly surprised that my glasses

and dishes came out looking spotless.

 

I couldn't believe how clean my

dishes and glasses were and that there was NO residue.

 

 

You only need 4, simple ingredients to make

this All Natural Dishwasher Detergent.

 

 

1 cup Borax

1 cup Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda - (found in the laundry aisle)  NOT BAKING SODA

1/2 cup Citric Acid (found in the canning aisle)

1/2 cup Kosher Salt

Lemon Essential Oil (optional) Place in dishwasher, not in the detergent

 

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well using a spoon.

 

 

Place dishwasher detergent into an air tight container and label.

 

 

To use:  Place 1 tablespoon of detergent into your main wash bin

and add 2 drops of Lemon Essential Oil.

 

You do not need to add detergent into the Pre Wash bin.

 

 

This recipe yields 3 cups of detergent.

I will be keeping track of how many loads I get out of this recipe.

 

Give this All Natural Dishwasher detergent a try

and you will be amazed at how clean your dishes will be.

 

Clean dishes without any harsh chemicals!

 

Make sure you check back in as I have a lot of

other ideas in the works.

 

Until Next time,
