How to Make Home Made Dishwasher Soap

In this article I will teach you how to make your own Dishwasher soap and save your self tons of money in the process and its super easy as well.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup of arm and hammer baking soda (you can also use the generic brand)
• 1 cup of borax
• 1 plastic bucket with a lid
• 1 tablespoon measuring spoon

1. Gather all items you will need and have them at hand. Doing this makes it easier to throw it all together and clean up with out a huge ordeal.

2. Measure out one cup of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda and one cup of Borax. Placing in the plastic bucket. I usually let my daughter help by dumping it in the bucket. She really enjoys being able to help out.

3. Put the lid on the plastic bucket and shake it up mixing both ingredients very well. This is another step I will let my daughter do. She really enjoys shaking up the mix. Just make sure that the lid is on tight or you may have a bigger mess to clean up.

4. Load your dishwasher and measure a tablespoon into each compartment. Close your dishwasher and turn it on. Simple enough. I would recommend having the kids fill the dishwasher as well.

Tips & Warnings

• This is a very simple thing to make and it does a great job. As well as the brand name product with out the expense.
• Borax is a soap product and will sting your eyes. Avoid contact with your eyes.
