Going along with the theme of trying to create everyday items that one normally buys at the store and at a much higher cost, I did research on making my own dishwasher soap. I found the information off a YouTube clip. Again, like the laundry detergent, this mixture only requires 3 ingredients that can all be found at Wal-Mart:
1 and 1/2 cup of Borax
1 and 1/2 cup of baking soda
1 cup of salt
Mix all the ingredients together in an airtight container and when you are ready to run a load of dishes, add 1/4 cup of the mixture and add a little vinegar to the 'rinse' compartment. I tested this out last night and all went well. The skillet we used to fry hamburgers came out clean and not a trace of grease.
If I did the cost analysis correctly, I was tired when I tried to figure this one out, the four cup concoction will do 16 loads of dishes for a total of $1.05. That beats any store brands I know.
Try it!
