Laundry detergent is one of my favorite things to make. It's easy and I always have a 5 gallon batch of it in the garage just waiting for me. I love it because:
1. I know what's in it
2. No more heavy jugs to carry from the grocery store
3. It saves me tons of money
Recently I found that two of the ingredients I use in my laundry detergent can also be used in making dishwasher detergent. Another heavy jug crossed off my list!!! This one is even easier to make. I just made a batch. I'll give you the recipe, and you can tell me how you like it.
1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda (not baking soda)
1/2 cup citric acid (amazon.com sells this the cheapest, but you can also purchase it at wine making shops)
1/2 cup kosher salt
Mix it all together and keep in a can under your sink. Make sure you label it.
Use 1 tbsp. for each load of dishes.
For a rinse agent, pour white vinegar into your "rinse aid" compartment. Please leave me a comment to let me know how much you love this recipe.
