Equipment
- Fork and measuring spoon
Supplies
- 1 cup 20 Mule Team® Borax
- 1 cup baking soda
- ¼ cup salt or Epsom salt
- ¼ cup vinegar
- 10 drops lemon essential oil *optional
- Large container with lid for storage
Instructions
- Measure 1 cup of Borax into a bowl.
- Add 1 cup of baking soda and ¼ cup of salt to your bowl.
- Mix the Borax, salt, and baking soda together.
- Add ¼ cup of vinegar and have fun watching the bubbles, then mix together well.
- If you aren't adding an essential oil you can stop here or you can the oils, approximately 10 drops, of any scent you prefer. I used lemon because I like the aroma of lemons in the kitchen.
- Adding an essential oil isn't necessary but if you decide to add one, stir one more time to mix everything well and then place in a storage container with a lid and measure out enough detergent to fill your dishwasher dispenser. Measure out one heaping tablespoon to each load and that's it. Wash as usual.
