	Homemade Dishwasher Detergent Recipes Easy, effective (money-saving!) recipes for homemade dishwasher soap Switching to homemade dishwasher detergent is a huge money saver. It's also amazingly easy and quick to do. I don't know why more people don't make the switch. Commercial detergents often contain harsh chemicals that leach toxins into our water. These recipes contain baking soda and borax, which are both natural disinfectants and gentle abrasives ? perfect for scouring away stuck on food and germs without poisioning you or the environment. The two homemade detergent recipes here are formulated for use in automatic dishwashers. Click on the link for homemade dish soap for handwashing in the sink. Homemade Dishwasher Detergent Recipe (Powder) Deceptively simple, this homemade dishwasher soap cleans without toxic chemicals. It works best if you rinse heavily soiled dishes first. Ingredients 1 cup Baking Soda 1 cup Borax 20 drops Lemon OR Clove essential oil (or use 10 drops of each) Directions Combine the baking soda and the borax in a plastic container. Stir in the essential oils. Store, covered, in a cool dark place. To use, add 2 to 4 tablespoons homemade dishwasher detergent to your dishwasher's soap compartment. Note: This recipe worked great when I lived on city water, not so great when I moved to the country where the water is really hard. I recommend using the liquid dishwasher detergent recipe below if your water is hard. I also definitely recommend using vinegar in the rinse cycle (see below) even if your water is good. The World's Simplest Rinse Aid Boost your dishwasher's cleaning power by adding white vinegar to the rinse compartment before you run the dishwasher. Not only does it reduce spotting, but it also helps prevent odors and mineral build-up in your dishwasher. In fact, to get rid of gunky residue from your dishwasher, fill the detergent compartment with pure vinegar and run the dishwasher on a normal cycle. You can even use vinegar to rinse handwashed dishes. Just add a couple tablespoons of vinegar to your rinse water, along with one drop lemon essential oil. Your glassware will sparkle! Liquid Homemade Dishwashing Detergent This recipe is kind of cheating because you still use store-bought dishwasher detergent, but it's better than expensive, toxic name brands. Look for phosphate free detergent for a more earth friendly option. Ingredients 1 cup Baking Soda 1 cup Borax 1 cup boiling Water 1 cup store-bought liquid dishwasher soap 10 drops Grapefruit essential oil 10 drops Lemon essential oil 10 drops Orange essential oil Directions Dissolve the baking soda and borax in the hot water. Stir in the liquid dishwasher detergent, then add the essential oils, stirring to mix. Pour into an old dishwasher detergent bottle. Use 2 to 3 tablespoons per load.
