Homemade Powder Dishwasher Detergent

Today we mix together the ingredients to make Dishwasher soap.  This is very easy and inexpensive.

Powdered Dishwasher Detergent:

1 cup Baking Soda
1 cup Borax
1/4 cup  Kosher Salt
1/4 cup Citric Acid
20-25 drops of Orange Essential Oil (you can use other scented oils if you prefer)

Combined all the ingredients into a container with a lid and shake, and your done.  Use 1-2 Tablespoons per load.  Add a little bit of white vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher, to prevent spots on your dishes.

 Once mixed it is ready to use!
