Non-toxic Dishwasher Powder

Ditch the Chemicals: Make Your Own Non-Toxic Dishwasher Powder

Harsh chemicals in conventional dishwasher detergents can leave residue on dishes and potentially harm the environment. For a safer, more eco-friendly solution, try this easy-to-make powder that's just as effective!

What You'll Need:

• 1 1/2 cups Super Washing Soda
• 1 1/2 cups Baking Soda
• 1/2 cup Epsom Salt
• 20-25 drops of your favorite essential oils (We use Lemon)
• Large bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Airtight container (a mason jar works great)

Instructions:

1. Combine the dry stuff: In your bowl, mix the Epsom salt, baking soda, and washing soda. Whisk or use a fork to ensure everything is blended.

1. Add the scent: Drop in your lemon essential oil. Start with 20 drops, and add a few more if you want a stronger fragrance.

1. Mix it up: Whisk again to distribute the oil throughout the powder.

1. Store it: Transfer the powder to your airtight container.

To Use:

Simply add 1 tablespoon of your homemade dishwasher powder to your dishwasher's detergent compartment. Run your dishwasher on a normal cycle.

Why These Ingredients?

• Epsom Salt: Acts as a gentle abrasive and helps with water softening.

• Baking Soda: A natural cleaner and deodorizer.

• Washing Soda: More alkaline than baking soda, it tackles grease and tough stains.

• Essential Oil: Provides a fresh scent, lemon is especially good for cutting grease.

Let's Customize!

• Experiment with different essential oils like grapefruit, rosemary, or tea tree oil.

• For extra cleaning power, add 1/2 cup of citric acid.

Enjoy the sparkling clean dishes and the peace of mind that comes from using safe and natural ingredients!
