Now I can continue doing my favorite chore. My day wouldn't be complete otherwise.
I'm not 100% satisfied with my recipe, but here it is.
What I Made:
1 cup Borax
1/2 cup Super Washing Soda
1/2 cup Baking soda
2 packets lemonade flavor KoolAid
1/4 cup salt
Mix. Add 1-2T per load.
I've added the salt and KoolAid to this batch. Sometimes I get a white film on my glasswear and my Google Search recommended salt and/or KoolAid.
Lemonade flavor doesn't have enough dye in it to stain your dishwasher. Sour Apple Green is tempting though.
Do you have any other tips or suggestions?
*Even if you still decide to use brand-name detergent, try vinegar in the rinse dispenser.
OK, this homemade cleaning stuff is just getting better & better all the time. I already use those same things to make laundry soap (ok, minus salt & KoolAid - but not like I don't have those handy) and now you are telling me I can wash my dishes too?! The KoolAide part is wild...does it leave a flavor? lol Sorry...gotta ask!
ReplyDeletereally?? i didn't know you could make your own..will have to try it...is it "greener" than using the "green" (supposedly) stuff from Costco??
ReplyDeleteOMG! KoolAid works? I'm surprised.
