​DIY Natural Dishwasher Tablets - February 2020

I tried an easier and cheaper dishwasher tablet recipe. It is: 
​
1 cup Lectric Soda
1 cup bicarbonate soda ( cheap generic brand)
1 cup cooking salt
1/2 cup citric acid
1 cup water
Ice cube trays

Step 1. Mix sodas, salt and citric acid in a glass or stainless steel bowl.

Step 2. Add the water a little at a time, waiting for the fizzing to die down before adding more. Stir very well.

Step 3. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into wells of ice cube trays. Press hard on the mixture so the tablets hold together. Add a little more water if mixture becomes too crumbly to hold together. Let the tablets stand 30-45 minutes in trays then turn them out on flat tray to complete drying. Transfer to a glass jar and store under sink.

Approximate cost $3.50 for 42 tablets, and they last me a month.

So easy cleans everything sparkling clean!
