Dishwasher soap - make your own

October 3, 2006

We ran out of dishwasher soap this weekend and discovered the neatest thing - we can make our own! Dissolve 1/4 tsp of liquid dishsoap detergent and 1/2 tsp baking soda in 1/2 cup warm water. Add mixture to both detergent cups in dishwasher.

It worked wonderfully. Maybe add vinegar during the last rinse cycle of your machine if you're worried about spots.
