I've made several recipes for dish washer soap and none of them did the job. Last night i made your recipe plus i added few drops of dish soap and some white vinegar to the dish washer. The result was absolutely fantastic. Even better than conventional dish washer soap! Specially the glasses were spotless and super shiny (with previous recipes i always had a white coat on the glasses). Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. I really appreciate it. This saves our family lot's of money, plus no harsh chemicals and all natural ingredients are good for our body and the environment. ❤️

Thank you so so so much for your recipe..I made them yesterday and even though I didn’t let them sit to harden completely before trying them ..I’m amazed how well this recipe cleans- makes your dishes feel as if you just pull them out of their package ..this recipe leaves no film like my prior recipe from years ago as well as sparkly squeaky clean..my favorite brand is now $20 so looking to save money but still have a good product -your recipe hands down is the best beating out the stores products too!

Thank you! I've made this 3 times already they work great! I did switch away from making them into tabs because I find they crumble anyway, so I just mix the powder and essential oils together and spoon it into the dishwasher.

After you put them in the ice cube container, do you freeze them? Or can you store them in a glass jar or will they break apart?

[michaeldenning]

Do you let the tabs dry in the mold? How do you get them out without falling apart and how long do you let them dry after you take them out of the mold?

Mine turned watery. Can I store in a container and use that ?

[imbarrettalso]

Thanks so much for the recipe. Works like a charm

I would recommend using a mask when mixing this. Did you see the powder mix floating in the air and you inhale that which can irritate your lungs. Also I notice that you coughed as the powder was floating up? A lot of good information tho!

Can we make this for selling purpose ??

I've tried several recipes all with these same ingredients and they all leave a white film on my glasses. :-( Do you know which ingredients cause this? I have hard water and the only thing that helps is adding about a half cup of white vinegar directly into the dishwasher - but I'd rather not have to do that if possible. I'm just not sure which ingredients to increase/decrease, or even eliminate. Wondering what would happen if I used vinegar instead of the 1/4 cup of water. All thoughts appreciated - love your recipe.

in order to have the citric acid and the baking soda react during the washing cycle thus increasing the washing power of the mixture, i introduce the mix of powders still dry with a spoon ….i add some home made apple cider vinagar …

[marwasherief]

Does it clean the glasses well? Mine leave the milk stains looking bad :( although the cups feel clean but they don’t shine like they do with the ready tablets! Plz advise how to overcome.

[old_girl]

Is it supposed keep bubbling after i put it in the ice cube trays?

[dctarrant]

I’ve tried this twice now and it foams so much iI foams out of the mold. When I push it down it sticks to my finger or utensil and comes out. Turned into a huge mess. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

[tamarahabash]

do u need dishwasher salt and rinse aid to add if u use this recipe???

[tamarahabash]

mine did not turn as a paste : ( it was all foam and liquid.. i poured it to tabs anyway and will wait for tom. any ideas why??

[arianna]

Is Borax an essential to this mixture or could it be substituted? I have decided to go the DIY route as it saves money and trips to the store during this time of pandemic. Unfortunately Amazon has sold out of a majority of items now and I am unable to get hold of Borax.

[aphillips]

JessieSamanthaEmily how much of the powder do you use per load?

[bettyread]

I put too much water . Is my batch ruined?

[Fridskan]

The problem isnt if I personally want or dont want to use Borax. The problem is that its not allowed in EU. So you cant get hold of it legally. :(
