DIY 3-Ingredient Dishwasher Detergent

I finally was fed up with running out of dishwasher detergent, so I figured out how to make my own using ingredients I already had. Now that I’ve made this 3-ingredient recipe, I don’t know why it took me so long to do this all the time.

Being a crunchy mom, I’m already very conscious about the ingredients throughout my home, so I was spending a ton of money on nontoxic detergents. But now, I get to make it myself, continue living nontoxic, and never run out.

Here’s the recipe:

1 Cup Baking Soda

1/2 Cup Citric Acid

1/4 Cup Coarse Salt

20-30 drops essential oils(optional) I use lemon!

Use one tablespoon per load! I also add vinegar into the rinse aid part of my dishwasher to give a little shine :)
