Dishwasher soap is basically the same as the laundry soap. it will be easy to make your own environmentally friendly, and inexpensive dishwasher detergent too. About a penny a load.
Homemade Dishwasher Detergent
1) 1 cup Washing soda (Arm & Hammer)
2) 1 cup Borax
3) 1/2 cup food grade Citrus acid (fruit fresh or you could use a packet of unsweetened lemonade)
4) 1/2 cup Kosher salt
Mix together and place in an air tight jar, like a mason jar or recycle your glass mayo jar, salsa, or pickle jars. For best results put vinegar in your rinse dispenser.
Tomorrow is our soap making class in Waco! I can't wait until we can make our own bar soap, shampoo, dog soap, and gift soaps like pretty lavender, or refreshing spearmint.
I want to make a "gardeners friend" soap. I love working in my garden without gloves, I know some people say you should always wear gloves but I like the feel of the cool earth between my fingers! But my hands sure get dirty and extra dry with all the hand washing.
Cuticle cream is a must for me! When we went to the faire in November I got a good recipe for that...something else to blog about later.
I've been making my own dog & cat food...which reminds me suppers almost ready. More to follow...
