Homemade DISHWASHER Detergent!
I was just giddy (and still am) when I found a recipe for homemade dishwasher detergent today. The best part:
- I already have the ingredients.
- The recipe is similar to the one I used for the laundry detergent.
- I’m out of the store bought stuff so I can try it out right away.
- AND it’s earth friendly!
The only tiny concern is that it may leave a film on the dishes…that’s not cool. BUT the solution is just adding vinegar to the rinse cycle or a drop of dish soap to the detergent when you put it in. I’ll give it a try tomorrow and let you know how it works out.
By the way, I love the homemade laundry detergent. It doesn’t have a harsh scent and cleans just as well as the store bought stuff for a fraction of the price. The other added bonus is that when I hang dry our clothes outside (which I did all last week) the laundry comes out soft and not stiff like when I was using the store bought detergent.

The first wash I used 1.5 Tbsp of the detergent and added vinegar to the rinse compartment. Dishes came out sparkling clean.
hi, will you please send the dishwashing soap receipe in detail. Thank you
If you follow the above link, there are 4 recipes. We use the recipe that is 1 cup Borax and 1 cup Baking Soda. Mix them well and add 2 TBS to the dishwasher compartment. To avoid residue, either add vinegar to your rinse compartment or add a few drops of liquid dish soap to the dishwasher compartment with the Borax-Baking Soda mix.
