Dishwasher Detergent

I have been using this recipe for about a month and it has been working great.  My dishes come out clean and sparkly.  I recommend the “tough scrub” option on your dishwasher or "extra rinse" for the best results and you can use distilled white vinegar as your rinse agent.  Don’t worry, you won’t get any weird, vinegar smell on your dishes either!

Dishwasher Detergent

                                                                                                Yields: About 60 Loads

Ingredients

2 cups of Borax


2 cups of Baking Soda


4 tablespoons of Citric Acid (can also use lemon kool-aid, not sure if it stains but I heard it doesn't)


Distilled White Vinegar (rinse agent)

Steps

1.  Pour everything except the vinegar together into your blender, you may need to do half a batch at a time due to space, depends on how big your blender is.  I like to blend up the mixture to get any clumps out, if you want to just put it all in a ziplock bag and shake it up you can try that too.  Store your detergent in a ziplock container or bag.  Use 1-2 T per load, the white vinegar is used as the rinse agent.
