Easy/Cheap Dishwasher Detergent
Equal parts Borax and Baking Soda
White Distilled Vinegar (as rinse aid)
-Simply sift together borax and baking soda. To use, simply add 3 tbsp. to where you typically add detergent in your washer. Some washers may need a little less, some a little more depending upon efficiency. Add white distilled vinegar in place of Jet Dry for a nice finish! This is not only super cheap, but totally green!
Safe Surface Cleaner
Spray Bottle
1/2c. White Distilled Vinegar
7-10 drops Dishwasing Liquid
Water
-Pour vinegar in spray bottle. Add water to fill. Last, add dishwashing liquid and gently turn bottle upside down and back to mix. (This reduces suds.) This is a great, safe disinfectant cleanser- I use it on my kitchen counters/appliances, on my dining room table, to clean my kids toys...and more!
For Clogged Drains
