How to make natural dishwasher detergent with baking soda, borax and white vinegar rinse

How to make a 100% natural dishwashing detergent that will clean your dishes better, and for less money than standard dishwashing detergents. Pour white vinegar into the rinse compoartment for an ultra clean and pure wash of your cookware.

Mix equals parts of baking soda and 20 mule team borax. I used three cups of each with comes out to six cups, or 96 uses at one tablespoon a wash. If you do two dishwashing cycles per week, this will last you 48 weeks or approx. 11 months! How's that for savings.

Enjoy!

So many products are manufactured by Proctor & Gamble, a company that still supports testing on animals. I decided to try to find an alternative when I came across your video. I tried your concoction for the first time tonight, but will wait until daylight to check the results. I have always used quite a bit more soap than 2 tsps per cycle. Are you using much less than the dishwasher instructions call for?

@EyerishEyesQQ Please let me know how it went. We currently use 1 tsp, but get nice results. There are a few variables in our home though that might be unique to us where as we do not have a soft water system and have very hard water, plus I play around with our hot water heater as the weather changes so the heat of the water vaires but always above 120. We run a cleaning every 6 months with bleach and vinegar;I think I have that video on here.

You want to use Arm & Hammer "Washing Soda", not baking soda.

@samlesher I have been told that either will work since it can be hard for some to find the washing soda, but I must also say that I use the washing soda to make our liquid laundry soap now. Thanks for the comment and for watching :)

Have you ever thought to or seen the need to add any TSP to your dishwasher detergent?

[ArizonaAdventures]

@hjabcde Not quite sure what TSP is, but the only other thing I've heard of using was citric acid I believe. This has been what we've used since making this video and things are working out great.

@ArizonaAdventures If I remember correctly, it's Tri-Sodium Phosphate. It's what USED to be in detergents (dishes AND laundry) before some states banned it. Its still available from Hardware stores and other outlets. I add some to my laundry, and it really produces a brighter wash. Neat combo you have though... I'll certainly have to give it a try.

@rigbym99 For my newer GE dishwasher I use 1 tsp of my homemade soap, which is the same amount for the store bought soap. I do have another fill line for more dirty loads which would be 2 tsp max. Normally I only use 1 tsp.. Thanks for watching!

Do you use the same amount in your dishwasher as you do of regular dishwaser powder?
