I have been using a dishwashing detergent that is a good one and is free of the nasty chemicals that can harm you and the environment called Wave by Earth Friendly Products. I use the free and Clear. But I wanted to see if there was an even safer, and let's face it cheaper, alternative. I decided to try and make my own.
I started with Citric Acid. It's the same thing used for canning and can be found on the canning area of the grocery store. I used 1 1/2 Cup. I mixed in 1 1/2 Cup of Super Washing Soda, which I already have to make my laundry detergent. 1/2 Cup baking Soda, which I use to clean EVERYTHING. And 1/2 Cup Sea Salt, I used coarse for better cleaning. I mixed them all together and gave it a shot. I put in 1 tablespoon. I was shocked. The dishes came out amazing! The glasses were super sparkly.
For ALOT less than I was paying for dishwashing soap I now will be making my own. I love knowing exactly what the ingredients are!
