Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

I love this recipe for Homemade Automatic Dishwasher Detergent. It is so simple with only 3 ingredients! The essential oil will provide an additional disinfectant and give it an awesome aroma.  I like to use either a citrus oil or Melaleuca oil for this recipe.  You can pick up essential oils at most health food stores  that are fine for this recipe.

I love to make my own dishwasher detergent because it all natural and non toxic.  It is still a product that you need to keep out of children’s hands but it not something you have to be worried about producing toxic chemicals in your home.  This is a great product to clean up for cheap. By making your own you will same money!

UPDATE:  After you have made this recipe if you add a 1/2 cup white vinegar and mix it up you can put it into empty ice cube trays and make dishwasher tablets!
