DishWasher Detergent is SUPER easy!

DishWasher Detergent

Making your own Dishwasher Detergent is super easy and affordable! I promise you I have never seen my dishes look so shiny and clean.  I had no idea it would be that easy!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup Borax
  • 1 cup Washing Soda
  • 1/2 cup of Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
 Directions
  1. Place Borax, Washing Soda, and Kosher Salt in a resealable plastic container and shake closed container until completely mixed.  
Use
  1. Every time you are ready to wash your dishes place 1 tbsp. of the mixture in the detergent part of the dishwasher and seal. 
  2. Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar either to the bottom of the dishwasher or place in the Jetdry Rinse Agent Dispenser.
  3. Wash

Dishes will come out looking shiny and clean!  I couldn't believe it was that easy.  Some recipes I came across called for citric acid however I omitted it.  I will update if I decide to use.  Also other articles have said that you will need to run "regular" dishwasher detergent through your dishwasher once a month.  Again, I will update if I do.  So HAPPY clean dishes!
