I started my DIY dishwasher soap making adventure with this recipelink text
Pretty awesome working power and simple. But, I like to try new things, so I found this onelink text.
I liked that I could cube it and throw it in the compartment without measuring.
But, I did not like the white film it was leaving on my dishes! It may work great for some, but not for my dishwasher, who is a teenager and quite sassy...not so much.
She is15 years old.
So, I kept searching.
Then, I found the most absolute perfect oneLink text for my sassy teenager. Dish soap, Sun oxygen powder, and vinegar. That's it.
Results?
Love.
No white stuff!! No extra suds to ruin dishwasher. Literally squeaky clean and only 3 ingredients! Score!
This was a pretty amazing recipe. Even better than my original.
But, I loved the idea of chunking a cube in rather than measuring each time!
So, I took the concept of the cube recipe, only I used the ingredients from the rockin' good 3-ingredient recipe.
Guess what?
It worked!
I won't be switching for a while!
Here's how I did it:
I mixed 1/2 cup of original blue dish soap and 1 cup of Sun "oxiclean".
Kinda cool experiment, actually. The reaction of the 2 mixing created heat. Yep, my mixing bowl was hot!
Then, I got my ice cube trays....yep ...those again...and made what would be equivalent to the single servings of dish soap and sun. It made 48 itty bitty cubes.
I let 'em dry overnight, then popped them right out on the counter and added them to my trusty container.
I put one of those in the dispenser, and place a bowl on the top rack right side up with 1/2 cup of vinegar. My rinse agent dispenser is moody. Remember, she's a teenager. ;) So, this works very well.
And much like a typical teenager, she adapted well to the change and loved the new adventure.
Per batch, I spent about $ .86. Divide that by 48 and that's 1.8¢ per load. That's vinegar included, y'all!!
I buy my dish soap and Sun Oxygen cleaner at WM, and my vinegar at Sam's. That's where the prices came from.
Super-duper impressed with this find.
Happy washing and saving!
