Homemade Dishwasher Detergent Soap | Saving Money | Mostly Natural | Inflation | Family Budget

[@annamoore6588]

Looking forward to trying this. To keep it really mostly natural, Castile soap could be used in place of the dawn dish soap. Dawn is one of the most toxic dish soaps on the shelf 😬

[@janellehulford3967]

Yes, thank you for mentioning this. I was curious why Dawn was considered "all natural" in this video when it is said to be one of the most toxic dish soaps. Any recommendations on Castile soaps out there?

[@rtimusprime1666]

In a chemistry standpoint you want to leave out the the citric acid, the name in itself is an acid all the other chemicals are a base or (alkaline). If you mix an acid with a base all you are doing is neutralizing the mixture to a more neutral PH level thus the mixture will not work as well.

[@hollymourant9268]

I have hard water and the added ca takes the film off my dishes

[@rtimusprime1666]

It will not do as well of a job that you intended it to do if you have alkaline mixed with an acid. If you want it to remove hard water stains then keep them separated, for instance you can put the citric acid inside the detergent door and the homemade detergent on outside to keep them separated, the alkaline detergent will be drained before the door opens meaning the citric acid will react at its full strength, you can also add vinegar to the rinse aid reservoir instead of using (Jet Dry) as well. I hope you are using citric acid made from citrus instead of the kind made from mold, that’s right I said mold, if you don’t believe me google it, (Is citric acid made from mold). Hope this helps you out.

[@rtimusprime1666]

Well I have a family of seven so what is your point? my comment is to improve on her and other viewers experience in making dish detergent , I’m just trying help people not waste their money by using it the wrong way and to tweak the ingredients to maximize savings in their pockets. Don’t get your panties in a bunch while trying to be a keyboard warrior. The fact that you said she has a family of eight is anecdotal has nothing to do with science, please comment and tell me how I’m wrong with “facts” not feelings.

Does anyone know if these ingredients are septic and dishwasher safe? I heard you are not supposed to use vinegar in a front load washing machine because it can ruin the seals....I don't know if the vinegar or citric acid can degrade any of the seals in a dishwasher. It's not very cost effective if you have to replace a dishwasher or if you have a septic problem.

[@mindyrussell9464]

After having Covid in November I lost my taste and smell. For the most part I still don’t have either back yet. At times when I can smell. I smell a horrible chemical.

[@jmcd411]

This may have already been answered, but why Dawn soap? Is it for a nice smell? For extra "cleaning" power?

[@HeartwayFarms]

It's for extra cleaning power but you can substitute this for any dish soap that you prefer. I know Dawn is not all-natural but I don't feel bad using it because it's only three drops☺️

Hi Debbie. I think any silica packets will do. We bought ours off of Amazon last year. I use them for storing flours and grains. Also, when we put our pasta in glass jars I use a silica packet in each one to absorb moisture so I don't lose any food. I can also throw them into baking soda or washing soda just to cut down on clumping.

R there any disadvantage of these ingredients as far as machine is concerned. I am more worried about dishwasher machine as they r quite expensive in our country. Specially venigar. Secondly is salt still a neccissity if water is already soft enough. Plz advice.

If you're using citric acid why can't you make pods?

What's your guess about that

Dawn dish soap natural? Lol This sounded fine to me and I'm right with you on your goals you stated, but I haven't used Dawn due to its ingredients for a very long time!

[@alejbet]

It worked but not great. Dishes were slippery and more than usual still dirty. Added 1/4th cup of amount left with Borex. Much better but think I only need 1 tablespoon instead of 2. Will try and no dawn needed. The water may make a difference? Thanks

[@carinjohnson8324]

Question, respectfully: Isn't vinegar going to chew at the pipes in the machine?

[@rtimusprime1666]

No it won’t, the vinegar will be diluted in the water, also the water maybe naturally alkaline so adding acid will only neutralize the PH of the water. It’s always best to test the PH of your water to know if you should be using chemicals with a higher or lower PH, knowing this will definitely prolong the life of your dishwasher and washing machine.

Thanks for recipe citric acid is key. I ran out. However, I used Castile natural no due no chemical soap as dawn is blue dye and chemicals.! The lye in Castile gets saponified.

I have all the ingredients, and just appreciate this. However, I find that the ingredients' cost does add up, almost feels like Im not saving anything. The borax has gone up by several dollars, and the citric acid is also expensive. So, I don't agree that making this is necessarily saving money. I do like this because it is safer and natural.

[@desireeretiree]

I omitted the citric acid because of what someone commented, (that the acid neutralizes the base products) and also because it's horrendously expensive in N.Z... I just paused the machine to add a coffee mug and the dishes look super sparkly!! No borax in this recipe by the way.....
