Yay!! I love a DIY detergent - I haven't used lemon juice, but I have used citric acid - thanks for sharing the recipe! sodium carbonate is also really good too! sending you support!! thanks for sharing this video 🥰
I have using Melaleuca pods for 2 years. I have been looking for other alternatives, I have been watching videos for blueland, dirty labs, clean cult, norwex, seventh generation. Almost all of them are same price range. Right now I am leaning towards the blueland to test
We recommend Blueland above all those other pod companies because Blueland is the only one of the bunch whose pods are PVA-free, meaning they're the only truly zero waste option on that list. And we've personally tested their pods and think they work really well.
I'd love to be able to make your recipe. Could you clarify? 5:33 a 1/3 c of lemon juice OR a 1/3 c of vinegar & a few drops of lemon essential oil 6:01 add your lemon juice AND vinegar Thanks so much!
So you only need one liquid, so either lemon juice OR vinegar (in which case you can also use a couple drops of lemon essential oil for scent). The mixture should be really thick and paste-like so if you added both it would be too runny. I personally prefer using the lemon juice, especially since I use vinegar as my dishwasher's rinse aid, so it's redundant for me to use vinegar in both. 😊
Kosher salt is the recipe I use, which is generally recommended because it's more coarse in grain size so it helps with the scrubbing action. Kosher salt also does not contain iodine but regular table salt typically does, and I don't know whether that effects the formula or not, so if you don't use kosher salt, I would at least go with non-iodized table salt.
Kosher salt is generally recommended because it's more coarse in grain size so it helps with the scrubbing action, but I think that's a fairly minor concern overall. However, I'm uncertain of whether iodization effects the final formula, as I do know that kosher salt does not contain iodine but regular table salt typically does. If you do go with non-kosher, I might recommend at least non-iodized just to be safe!
Some say washing dishes by hand is LESS eco-friendly than using a dishwasher. But considering the resources it takes to make 1 dishwasher, you'd probably never be able to handwash enough dishes to make up for that impact. That's our guess anyways. But in all honesty, we use a dishwasher. Because it's efficient, and life is busy. We're just going to ensure we get as much mileage out of it as possible. Repair Repair Repair.
Sure thing! This is the recipe I followed, but you can cut it down depending on how much you need: -a silicone ice cube tray (we like using the mini icecube trays because especially for our half-size dishwasher, a large cube is just too excessive). -1/3 cup of either lemon juice or ⅓ cup of vinegar and a few drops of lemon essential oil -⅓ cup kosher salt -⅓ cup of baking soda -⅓ cup of washing soda- note this is not the same thing as baking soda, it actually has more grease fighting power, but you can buy it in a cardboard box from Arm & Hammer just as you would baking soda. All you need to do is combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir to any chunks are broken up. Then add your lemon juice or vinegar, noting it’s normal for it to fizz a bit when you do. Stir until the dry ingredients completely soak up the liquids and transfer to your silicone mold. Be sure to tamp down with a spoon so there are no air holes. Then leave it sit out on the counter to dry, or about 12 hours, then pop them out and store them in an airtight container or jar.
Curious what the results are between these different brands and the DIY! Do you have a video for this? Like putting peanut butter on a plate and testing the different ones 😂
Haha that would be a good idea! Bust just from my observations, honestly, I don't notice any functional performance difference between the brands and DIY. They all work equally well for me. That said, might be worth keeping in mind that I'm not one of those people that puts barely rinsed or unrinsed dishes in my dishwasher. 😂 I'm pretty good about prerinsing and just letting the dishwasher take care of stubborn resiude and oil.

Hi. Thanks for the video
5:41 do you mind explain what kind of salt did you use? I didn't get jt
Kosher salt is the recipe I use, which is generally recommended because it's more coarse in grain size so it helps with the scrubbing action. Kosher salt also does not contain iodine but regular table salt typically does, and I don't know whether that effects the formula or not, so if you don't use kosher salt, I would at least go with non-iodized table salt.
Can we add anything besides kosher salt? would regular salt work?

I don't think any of these can be used in a dishwasher used for graywater. Thanks for posting.
is it more eco freindly to wash by hand or with a dishwasher

Washing by hand uses a lot more water.
This is for hand washing or machine?

Would love to see the recipe in comments.
