HOMEMADE AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER DETERGENT WITH BAKING SODA ?
It Really Works! Get a sparkling load of dishes using baking soda and Borax--for pennies. We've been reading about the miracle uses of baking soda. So, one day, we ran out of automatic dishwashing detergent. In a pinch, we decided to make some detergent with two tablespoons baking soda mixed with two tablespoons of Borax (we have a box in our laundry room just gathering dust). You cannot believe how beautiful our dishes came out! For pennies a wash! We are now converts and will not need to buy commercial dish detergent. The cost: Since two tablespoons = one dry ounce, you can see how far this will go. A small 16 oz. box of baking soda costs under $1.00 and will last about 32 loads. A 76 oz. box of Borax ix about $5.00 and will last 152 loads of dishes. Assume you do one load a day, you will need 12 boxes of baking soda (or buy bigger versions, we just don't have that on hand here...) and two boxes of Borax. Total for the year to wash dishes if you do a load a day: approximately $22.00. Total for the year to buy commercial dish detergent: average $5 a large box, which lasts about a month (or less), costs approximately $60.00 a year. We based this on our frugal purchases of store brand detergent and Cascade. However, we know many people who use newfangled products such as cubes, gels, and tabs-all of which are more money and promise better results, but we bet the results are just as good as baking soda and Borax.

Steps:
- Put mixture into washer's detergent holder as you would normally with any detergent.
- Our dishes have never, ever looked cleaner-no scratches, no water spots, just crystal clear glasses, dishes, and silverware. Our dishwasher is cleaner inside, too. Typically, we don't love homemade products because they may not work better than store-bought solutions, but this is different.

Tips:
- **Always rinse dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.** This will help to remove any food particles or debris that could clog the dishwasher's filters or spray arms. - **Load the dishwasher correctly.** Make sure that dishes are placed in the dishwasher so that they do not block the spray arms or prevent the detergent from reaching all of the dishes. - **Use the right amount of detergent.** Too much detergent can leave a film on your dishes, while too little detergent may not clean them properly. - **Choose the right detergent for your dishwasher.** There are many different types of dishwasher detergent available, so be sure to choose one that is compatible with your dishwasher and the type of dishes you are washing. - **Clean your dishwasher regularly.** This will help to prevent the buildup of food particles, grease, and detergent, which can lead to problems with the dishwasher's performance.Conclusion:
Following these tips can help you to get the best results from your dishwasher. By rinsing dishes before loading them, loading the dishwasher correctly, using the right amount of detergent, choosing the right detergent for your dishwasher, and cleaning your dishwasher regularly, you can ensure that your dishes come out clean and sparkling every time.
