Homemade Powder Dishwasher Detergent

10/8/2017

This is a great way to have a natural dishwasher detergent without paying a high price. And it's so easy! The citric acid is optional, but feel free to order some on the internet and give it a try.

1 cup washing soda (like Arm & Hammer)
1 cup Borax Detergent Booster
1/2 cup Citric Acid (optional)
1/2 cup Salt
10 drops doTERRA essential oil (Lemon, Wild Orange, OnGuard, or Purify)
Mix together and stir. Store tightly covered in an 16 oz glass jar. Use one tablespoon per load with hot water.
I took the top off an old salt container and put it on a wide mouthed mason jar so I had a pour spout. Works great!

Note: Use vinegar as a rinsing agent.

Instead of buying stuff from the market that are relatively pricey, there are DIY items we can do in our houses! All we need to do is to have the ingredients, and we are ready to make all of these! Homemade Powder Dishwasher Detergent sounds new to me as I had never see other websites telling us to do so. But now that you posted this snd proved that it's possible, I might try doing this! This is very timely because I noticed that I m having a hard time dealing with my dirty clothes. I hope it has the same effect as the best detergents in the market!

I do have to still treat stains separately. Cream of Tartar actually works well, and Wild Orange for greasy stains, but you can use any citrus oil. Add some Eucalyptus, too. Their are some recipes you can make ahead that include vinegar.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"I love doTERRA oils. They have helped my family tremendously. Their quality is superior. I like the fact that they are always developing and researching new products. And if something isn't the best they can do, they just won't do it. Keep it up doTERRA."
