Some time ago I posted about making dishwasher soap,
when I ran out of my regular soap I decided to give it a try.
The recipe was huge, so I broke it down, thanks to Mr. Thomas my math teacher at NWFSC!
It called for:
Dishwasher Detergent ingredients:
1 box Borax (4 lbs 12 oz or 76 oz ) (2.15 kg) found in the detergent isle
1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (55 oz or 3 lbs 7 oz) found in the detergent isle
24 packages of unsweetened lemonade drink mix, like kool-aid. (**Note: lemonade will stain soap dispenser yellow, another option would be to use citric acid instead of lemonade. You can usually find citric acid in the canning isle )
3 cups Epsom Salt
I broke it down to:
1/4 cup Epsom Salt
1/4 cup plus about 2/3's oz Baking Soda
3/4 cup plus about 1/3 oz Borax
Didn't have the lemon stuff, but I had Real Lemon concentrate, so I squirted a little in the dishwasher soap cup! It worked fine!
1 heaping tablespoon per load.
Awesome!

Lemonade is a surprise ingredient!
