Homemade Dishwasher Soap


Homemade Dishwasher soap is another MUST in my house.  Keeping toxins at a minimum in my house is so important and unfortunately store bought dishwasher detergent is packed full of yucky cancer causing chemicals - no thank you!

I will say that dishwasher detergent has been one of the most tricky of all the homemade products to make.  Not that making it is hard, but being happy with the end result was the difficult part.  My water comes from a well and it is hard - I mean off the charts hard, so if this soap can keep my dishes clean - it can keep anyones dishes clean!

Another great bonus of my recipe is that it also serves as a great soft scrub for your sinks and shower!  I love it when one recipe can serve more than one purpose!

Here is the recipe:

  • 1 Cup of Baking Soda
  • 1 Cup of Borax
  • 1/4 Cup of Citric Aci
  • 20 Drops of Young Living Lemon Essential Oil
  • 2 TBS Rice
  • Fabric or small sachet
Directions:
  • Mix everything except the rice together.  
  • Put rice in a small sachet or make a small little bag out of fabric.  The rice keeps the moisture out of your soap and helps it not get hard!
  • Put your rice sachet in the bottom of your container and fill your container with soap
  • Use in your dishwasher just like you would use regular detergent!
Another super simple recipe that keeps toxins out of your home and your family healthy!
