DIY Dishwasher Detergent

By Jody
I found a recipe that I really like! In an effort to make all our own cleaning supplies I tried this recipe for dishwasher detergent.  It was easy, fast, affordable, and it works!  Our dishes come out clean, smelling great, and spotless!

1 Cup Borax
1 Cup Washing Soda
1/2 Cup Citric Acid
1/2 Cup Kosher Salt
6-10 drops of a cleansing essential oil

Use 1 rounded tablespoon of this homemade detergent per load.  I also pour a little distilled white vinegar in the bottom of the dishwasher.  (I have heard not to use the vinegar in the rinse agent compartment as it might ruin the rubber seal).

When using essential oils, we want them to not only be safe but effective.💪  To ensure that we are using them to receive their maximum benefit, something I like to be sure my oil community knows is how to properly dilute oils for topical dilution. As we have gone over, essential oils are very potent and concentrated. When we dilute them with what we call a “carrier oil”, we minimize skin sensitivity as well as extend the absorption into the skin.  👉 So, what is carrier oil? Carrier oils are vegetable oils with minimal or no scent that are used to dilute essential oils. Our favorite is Fractionated Coconut Oil. Fractionating coconut oil removes the fatty acid chains taking the coconut oil from a solid to a liquid. This liquid extends the shelf life of the essential oil, is non-greasy and provides for better skin absorption. Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and even Olive Oil are also suitable carrier oil options. How to dilute: if you aren’t a math whiz, have no fear we ha
