Makes about 1 ½ cups

Materials

  • 1/2 cup washing soda
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup citric acid
  • 1/4 cup dishwasher salt
  • 15-20 drops essential oils citrus is best, optional

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the super washing soda, baking soda, citric acid, and dishwasher salt.
  • Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
  • Add in the essential oils if using.
  • Stir thoroughly, breaking up any clumps so the mixture stays powdery.
  • Transfer to a medium glass airtight jar for storage.

Notes

  • How to Use:
Add 1-2 tablespoons to your dishwasher detergent compartment per load.
  • Shelf Life: Keep the jar tightly sealed to prevent moisture from causing clumping. If clumping happens, simply break it up before use.
  • For best results, pair with a rinse aid like white vinegar if you have hard water.
