Homemade Dishwasher Detergent {for spot-free dishes}

While cleaning out my kitchen for an upcoming move, I ran across the ingredients for homemade dishwasher detergent that had been sitting around unused. The recipe is simple, the result is even better. It cleans your dishes and there won't be a residue left in the dishwasher. What could be better.


All you need:

  • 2 C. Borax
  • 2 C. Baking Soda
  • 6 oz. LemiShine (available at Target, Walmart, and most grocery stores)


Mix together. Use 1 T. per full load.

    I plan to make this cleaner.We have a water softener and the normal dishwasher soap and washing soap for the laundry has too much softener in it and it leaves a soap scum so I’m very excited to get this recipe thank you.

    I'll try a small batch to see how it does here. I love white vinegar as a rinse for dishes and laundry. I use 1/4 to 1/3 Cup for large loads in the rinse cycle.
