Hello friends and welcome to another edition of….
Have you ever gone grocery shopping and managed to come home without the #1 thing you needed??
Right before you are having a big Sunday dinner? Yeah. It happens to the best of us.
DIY Dishwasher Detergent in a pinch,
using what you already have in your kitchen…..
it actually works!!
All you need are a few drops of dishwashing liquid, baking soda and regular table salt.
Add a few drops of your liquid soap to the dishwashing cup, fill about 2/3 of the cup with baking soda, then fill the rest of the cup with salt, close the cup door and run your dishwasher as usual.
I was skeptical that my glassware would be shiny, but was pleasantly surprised at how clear everything came out. I would say the glasses are ALMOST as good as if you use a dishwasher detergent that has an additive to make them sparkly.
The only thing that seemed to have a bit of a filmy residue on it was a black silicone spatula, but otherwise the glasses and dishes were completely clean!
There you go……a quick tip for your Tuesday! Enjoy the day!
I didn't even know I could make my own. I know I'll need that one day for sure
I'll confess I could have used your QTT several years ago. I had a kitchen overflowing with bubbles, I can't remember exactly what I tried, maybe laundry detergent? Clean floor anyway, haha! 🙂
Love this idea Lisa!
This is great because I'm always the one leaving the store without TP and dish and clothes detergent (do you have a DIY TP trick 🙂
I've made my own dishwasher detergent for about a year, but I use a few other ingredients. This is a good alternative too!
I've done this before in a pinch and it worked great! Such a great hack 🙂
