day 58

Today I refilled my dishwasher detergent and thought I'd share how easy it is to make your own detergent!

These are the only things you need:
Borax
Baking Soda
Unsweetened Lemonade (Kool-Aid)
Vinegar (optional)

mix 1 cup of borax, one cup of baking soda and one packet of lemonade...The lemonade's citric acid works as your rinsing agent and keeps the film off your dishes. Use 1-2 tablespoonfuls per load. You can also add some vinegar to the rinse-aid dispenser once  a week or so to give the rinse a boost.  I keep mine in a big mason jar under the sink :)  I have found this combination to work wonderfully...sometimes the silverware is a little dull, but still clean.  This is about 5$ in the picture, and will last a loooong time (like months and months).  Give it a try!
