We feel like we run our dishwasher every day…because we do! We love to meal prep, DIY, and experiment in the kitchen and that leads to lots of dirty dishes. Anyone else feel our pain? And when we were using the detergent pods, we were having to run the dishwasher twice as much because half the time it didn't fully burst and we had to start all over! . So finally we decided to make our own liquid detergent. No more wondering if we are wasting time or will have to run the load again. . We chose Grapefruit and Thyme for this particular batch, and it's fun to switch it up each time! Has anyone else experimented with DIY dishwasher detergent yet? . . . #dishwasher #detergent #diy #homemade #natural #green #essentialoils #organic #helloglow https://helloglow.co/homemade-liquid-dishwasher-detergent/

Instructions:

After you get all the ingredients, find a jar or a bottle where you’ll keep the dishwasher detergent. Also get a large bowl, to prepare it in. Pour all the ingredients in the bowl and mix them to get a nice consistency. Try to break up all the clumps that will form. They will not affect the efficiency of the detergent at all. Pour it in the jar, and cover it with a lid. The recommended dose is two tablespoons for every load. Keep it in a dark and cool spot. That is probably the fastest DIY recipe you’ve ever seen. Now you don’t have to worry about chemicals anymore. Instead, wash your dishes with a natural product that also has an amazing smell.
