Recipe starts at 5:00 minute mark. (For the choir.) Thanks so much for this recipe.
Thanks
I make my own dish detergent , laundry detergent and hair conditioner , mouth gargle . I also use real pink Himalayan salt for , my hands . My hands are more smooth than reg hand wash . Since Covid came my hands got very sensitive and my cousin mentioned pink Himalayan salt. It's so nice on my hands .
I purchased your book sometime ago and I just wanted to thank you for these natural cleaning recipes they all work awesome so thanks again . As for the thumbs down I just don’t get why people have to do that . It’s not like you made a soup that taste bad lol it’s all for making a better you and environment . I eat all organic and never use chemicals people wonder why so many are sick but don’t realize what they put in and on their body is the key . Thanks again keep up the great work 🙂
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support and love that you also care about living a nontoxic lifestyle and taking care of environment. ❤️
I think you're a wonderful human & I'm definitely going to be trying this. Thank you so much! Stay safe everyone ❤️
Your recipes are so great! I have been making my own household and hygiene products for over 6 years. I have had to constantly tweak what I find over the internet. These recipes work so well I've done something I never thought I would need to do....purchase your book! It is a gold mine with a wealth of information and research to boot. EVERYONE needs this book! So glad God led me to one of your videos. Dishwasher detergent was the only chemical laden product I still purchase because I could not find the correct ratio of soap and viscosity. I will use this recipe forever. Your book was the best spent $21.00 ever!
I rate the video 10 out of 10.I was move by the clarity of the instruction and I made my first dishwasher detergent and used it.
Thanks! Just moving into a place with a dishwasher and trying to go all natural. This recipe looks great, I'm going to give it a try. Thank you so much for teaching me about everything you incorporated as well as sharing your recipe. 🥰
Thank you so much. I love your book. I love the laundry detergent and all purpose cleaner. I have been having respiratory problems for past month and need to seriously detox my home. I have made fabric spray and dishwasher liquid ,antibacterial cleaner,dish liquid ,and laundry booster softner. I havent had a chance to use everything yet but I couldnt wait to tell you how much I love these cleaners. Tytyty again.
You’re welcome! And you’ve been working hard! Great job! And I hope your respiratory problems improve. 🙏🏻
Sal suds main ingredient is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, it’s a hormone disrupter. Are there any options that don’t use these chemicals?
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I would love to actually see your dishes after the dishwasher just finished running.
I've bought your book "Detox your Home".... its a good book. I have a curiosity question...
The recipe you've just completed isn't the same as in your book. You said the Citric Acid (on this video) makes a huge difference in the quality & Function of this detergent but its not apart of the books recipe and the book has different quantities/ratios of ingredients. What's up? 😊
I just purchased your book and I am very much looking forward to all of the changes I will be able to make without having to purchase special soaps or spend extra money
Love this video , It was so informing , I will be getting your book
Will try it soon
This video was so great! Of the 10 or so I watched in trying to figure out how to make dishwasher liquid this was by far the most exacting.
I'm also super excited to have found you, as well as grateful. My mother-in-law has had a full body rash for a year and it turns out to be chemical sensitivity. She is with a great clinic that is helping her with this, they even have an app that customized the products that she can or cannot buy in the store based on what she's she is allergic too. However I think that the book is going to be a real game changer for her. Normalizing things with your book and content is going to be a big deal. Also making a full shift into chemical free life is going to have a greater effect than just trying to avoid a few key chemicals in the grocery cart. And also the book is something she and I can both get into together and talk about recipes we like and stuff.
Also my wife has had long issues for the last 4 years after mold exposure and now has chemical sensitivity in her lungs. And I myself have been chemically sensitive for over 10 years due to intense exposure being a residential finishing contractor.
It's a long story short I wanted to extend my gratitude and compliments!
A few questions before I go out and buy all my supplies-
1) Can I use regular castile soap? I got some Dr. Bronner's citrus liquid castile on hand already. Do I need to buy Sal Suds also?
2) In your shower gel video, your recipe calls for *fine* sea salt to get the consistency to be gel-like. In the description you wrote that kosher salt won't work, it has to be finely ground. But in this recipe you use coarse kosher salt. Is it because of how it mixes with the other ingredients that you add later? I would just like to know before I go and buy a huge thing of kosher salt. I don't use it for anything else and they sell it in such big boxes.
3) Have you tried this for hand washing dishes? It would be fantastic if I could just make one recipe for all dishes instead of two!
I use and like the DIY dish soap using Dr Bronners, water and salt. But a cautionary. Whisk until thick and creamy says the directions. Went nicely when I used a fork or a whisk. On I whim I tried an immersion mixer whisk fitting and whisked it to egg whites soft peak condition . Had to wait hours for the tiny bubbles to pop so it became pourable.
Does it leave residue on dishes? I’m so excited to try :)
How do you make the rinse aid
Is there another budget-friendly alternative to the Sal Suds?
Is there any alternative for sal suds mam?
Hello My Merry Messy Life! You've got a great thing going on here. Since Amazon is part of "the problem", a humble suggestion is to try to work toward being able to offer your book(s)from another source, besides Amazon. Keep up the good work. Best of luck to you!
Would it be too much to use this whole recipe along with the rinse aid?
Sal cleaner not available in my country. Any alternative?
Hi there, I’ve made the laundry softener and am overall pleased, but no scent. I miss a fresh smell. How can I achieve this?
Yeah that's quite difficult to achieve without artificial fragrances. You could make a linen spray and spray your clothes after they've dried. Also, check out this video I've got on natural dryer sheets - ruclips.net/video/yqDfHW98394/видео.html
Can i use castille soap instead?
Is this recipe safe on the dishwasher on the long run??
Can you use Dr Bronners Castile soap instead?
What you said about fragrances does that apply to colognes. Should I look for a natural cologne or fragrace to smell good on the daily?
Yes it does :(. You can make your own natural cologne with essential oils - I've got a few recipes here - mymerrymessylife.com/homemade-all-natural-perfume/
Ok I’m confused about rinse aid, if I put citric acid with soap then I don’t need separate finish aid….?..
What is the difference between natural n chemical free mam
I been using this mor months and l love it, but l keep seeing a film in all my dishes, any suggestions? Do you get thefilm as well? Thank you.
Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
Sals Suds has SLS though. And else can be used
Yes, I see that ingredient. However, I just read the entire write-up on the label regarding "sodium lauRYL sulfate(SLS) and the difference between IT and "sodium lauRETH sulfate"(SLES). It explains the difference between the two which I've never knew!
Is that the same as cleaning vinegar
The Sals Suds doesn’t get too sudsy? What about using Castile soap of a different brand?
The citric acid you use is it the same as what you add to tomatoes before canning them?
Hi Deb! Yes, one and the same. The ingredient you get at grocery stores.
I'm so happy with each video you post you explain WHY you need to go natural and WHY said product is so bad for you. About a year ago I went natural I make everything from body wash to cleaners. The only thing that I don't make are toothpaste, shampoo and hairspray those are things that I don't trust I can make because I want to keep what hair I have and I like my white teeth lol. The only thing that really sucks is my bf is totally not on board, he likes the toxic plug-in air freshners to make the house smell fake, I mean good, and toxic laundry detergent. I have spent almost $2k to have everything I need for all natural everything, but he still buys all the crap which is like throwing everything I have done or tried to do right down the trash! It's very upsetting! So I'm just wishing and hoping that your videos may help change his mind. Thank you for your videos and getting out there how toxic products can be! Most people think if it's on the shelf at the store it has to be safe...it SHOULD be! But that's not the case.
Hi Eric! That's so awesome that you've gone all natural - good for you! But that is frustrating that your boyfriend isn't on board with it and still buys glade plug ins and other yucky stuff. Ugh. Yes, maybe watching my videos will change his mind - I hope so for your sake! Keep me posted!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Thank you :) So I have aquestion for you. The main reason he isn't wanting to get rid of the plug-ins is because even if we diffuse oils thru out the house it only smells for a few hours then the scent goes away. Would you know a way to always make your house smell really good- naturally?
Hi Eric, I modified an aroma recipe which turned Downey unstoppables into a fragrance warmer and fabric freshener like frebreze. It lasts much longer. Finely grate a bar of Dr. Bronners Castile soap. Melt it into hot water add a tablesp. Of carrier oil (organic coconut oil) and your favorite essential oils. Warm the solution in your wax warmer. It really works and has staying power!
I have used Dri Pak pure liquid soap with hot water and kosher salt, when mixed those ingredients it turned into really thick gel consistency, I was really happy with it, looked beautiful and thick gel, but when I added vinegar all got destroyed 😢 it separated and what was left is water and a layer of cream looking thing on the surface. Why vinegar turned it that way ? Does yours stays gel after you add vinegar ?
Yes mine stayed as a gel. But the good news is that the solution will work no matter what the consistency is, you can still use it. And the next time you make it you could leave the vinegar out and add it into the dishwasher separately.
If I'm making the dishwasher soap and the rinse aid separately, do I just put the lemon essential oil in one of them or both?
I put them in both, but it's not necessary to do that. It's okay to pick just one if you'd like :).
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Thanks, I bought your book and I'm gradually changing out nearly everything. Thanks for all of your research and wonderful advice!!
Can you use any of dr. Bronner's soap for this? I see another on there on your counter. I Love the citrus Bronner's
Yes any of the soaps will work. ☺️
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Thank you so much for your quick reply. Do you have a Facebook page?
Hi there, I am new to Natural home detergents and I live in Europe and I am not able to find the dr. bronner's - sal suds. Would you know anything equivalent and where to get it? Thank you very much for your videos, they help a lot. Good day
Hi! I haven’t found an alternative yet, but I need to start really looking. The thing is, here in Europe, there’s not nearly the same need as there is in America for making your own natural products at home. In the US, natural and safe products are VERY expensive but here in Germany, at least, they’re cheap!
would you recommend any? I live in France so I might find the same over here too. Thanks again
I realize this video is 3 years old, but I came across it today. I thought putting vinegar in the rinse aid cup of a dishwasher could harm the gaskets in the rinse aid cup?
Salt dissolves in water. I don’t know how using Kosher salt would make any difference than regular salt. As well how could the salt be what turns the liquid to a gel?
What can we use instead of citric acid. Citric acid is a mycotoxin
I have question.What is the differance in the Dr. Dronnes cleaning and the concentrate ? Can you use the concentrate?
So the Castile Soap is a very gentle soap. It’s good to use on the body. The Sal Suds is a very strong soap - not meant for use on the body - only for cleaning objects.
Do you have to use cell suds or can you use regular Dr. Bronner soap?
Hi there! You really do have to use Sal Suds or a natural dish soap. Castile Soap will not lather well and leaves an oily film on the dishes. :(
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife thank you so much for that. Ive been having that exact issue. Ill give the Sal Suds a try.
I could not get it to be gel consistency.. I used kosher salt?
Okay and warm to hot water?
Hi, i tried the recepie and its leaving some white residue and its especially visible on glasses. Do you have any tips for this?
Yes in some dishwashers you might need to also make the recipe I’ve got here on the challenge - a dishwasher rinse aid.
love your videos, one question, my water, kosher salt, suds mix does not gel up like yours, what are we doing wrong?
Hi and thank you! Was the water you used really hot?
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife it was 🔥, not boiling, but you couldn't hold the container on your hand hot
@@tricolorjeep Okay, that's good. Hmm, so did you do it in this order - water, salt, Sal Suds?
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife we sure did, even if we follow the recipe on your book, it doesn't gel. Maybe we're using the wrong kosher salt?
Mortons coarse kosher salt. We'll try a different brand and let you know. Ty!
@@tricolorjeep okay that's the same brand I use. Well, I'm stumped! I've been making this and laundry detergent also using Sal Suds and Kosher salt and it gels for me every time. Maybe the difference is hard vs. soft water. I think we have soft water here. You might try adding a few more tablespoons of salt to the recipe and try that. I'm sorry it hasn't worked for you thus far!
impordant
I measured everything very carefully, but used a Castile soap instead a Sal suds - and mine dishwasher detergent turned out to be very runny. Will Sal Suds make any difference?
I just made it using sal suds and mine too was very runny. I don’t know what the difference was that made hers gel like.
Do you have a recipe for Dishwasher Tablets? Not liquid? Thank you
Made it as directed....Suds! Suds all over the floor!
From the dishwasher?
Yes
Same
Recipe starts at 5:00 if you're in a hurry.
Can you share the link for the bottles on Amazon, please
Yes, they are in the description, or a link to the blogpost where the bottles are listed.
Looks like a great recipe. My question is, will this keep my cups clean of coffee and tea stains?
I hope so! It should.
So many dishwashers have problems with vinegar after a few months of use. Granted they all used it directly in the rinse aid compartment. But still it's scary.
Even diluted vinegar? What sorts of problems have you heard of?
Vinegar is acidic and can brake down rubber. (Gaskets)
Does the lemon juice or essential oil have a purpose or is it just for scent?
It has a purpose to lift the particles - lemon is an astringent. You can rub it on sticker residue and it comes right up! So it works the same on dishes. It adds to the cleaning power and gives a lovely scent.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Thank you! Would you say that one works better than the other? Lemon juice is cheaper than lemon essential oil which is why I ask.
I used to make dishwashing detergent but it didn't work well. I used to use Milliard citric acid but wow, the price soared! I bought a 10 lb.bag in 2019 & it was $22.25. Now a 10 lb. bag is $39.99 !!! Yikes. I used citric acid to make cleaner for our toilets. Not any more...not at that price because for "toilet bombs" , it took a large amount. That wasn't economical.
I can't remember the recipe I used for dishwashing detergent but I remember silverware always looked dull. I was disappointed. I really wanted it to work well. I don't use Cascade or Finish or any of the standard store-bought products...never have. I get products I hope are better for our environment. I definitely am aware that I want to use a product that is safe for us . I need to check them out thru the website I've been hearing about.
I make our laundry soap.
Can you use this when washing dishes in the sink?
Hi Sharon! You might be able to to, but my recipe for a liquid dish soap is a lot better to use. Here's the link - ruclips.net/video/XgCxH7xDYMg/видео.html
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife thank you :)
Mine will not gel.
Can I use washing soda instead of sal suds?
No, it will not suds up or have any soap in it without the Sal suds.
Thank you for your reply mam.
Is there any alternatives mam?
Will it create bubble in the dishwasher?
Yes it does create some bubbles, a normal amount.
So I tried this twice. The salt didn’t make it turn to a gel consistency.
And all my dishes had a powder residue all over.
Can you please help
Oh dear! Hmm did you use kosher salt? And use very warm to hot water?
Yes I did. Twice now. I purchased the salt that you had linked
We have hard water and someone suggested using filtered water. I’ll try that next 😔
I’m not giving up because we’re eliminating chemicals from our home.
If I just use Sal Suds ...how much is enough? I'd hate to see soap coming out of the dishwasher.
Hi! Okay so you mean 16 oz. of Sal Suds, not diluted with water? I'm guessing a very small amount. A tsp. maybe? I'm not really sure as I haven't tried it that way before.
I hand wash my dishes. Do you recommend the same recipe?
I enjoy your videos. However I did find this in a NY Times article:
"You should not put vinegar in the rinse-aid dispenser in your dishwasher. Vinegar is a strong enough acid to melt the rubber gaskets in the rinse-aid dispenser. Bad. Some people suggest running a rinse cycle with the vinegar in a cup on the top rack, and this tactic can work."
That's interesting! It is acidic. I've not ever had that happen before to my dishwasher using vinegar but I guess anything's possible.
Can I use lime juice? Instead of lemon
Yeah that should work just fine!
I am new to living toxin free so please forgive my ignorance on the subject. Do you not worry about the plastic in those bottles? They look really cool and I get why they need to be plastic to be able to squeeze. But I have been using glass for everything to avoid plastics.
Yeah I so use glass for things that are going in my body, since the plastic can leech into the liquid. But in this case that’s not a worry for me. But you could certainly use glass if that’s what you prefer!
Can this solution stay good for hand washing dishes
Hi Ruhi! It wouldn't be the greatest for washing dishes by hand because of the strong vinegar smell. I do have a liquid dish soap recipe you can check out here - ruclips.net/video/XgCxH7xDYMg/видео.html
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife thank you for responding.
One more question again.does dr bronners Castile soap work instead of Sal suds?
@@RuhiSadaf you're welcome!
@@RuhiSadaf Hi Ruhi! So it could work, but Sal Suds is MUCH better. Castile Soap is best used as a hand and body soap. It does not suds up or bubble up much at all and it leaves an oily residue. So it makes washing dishes rather difficult.
So upset. The dishwasher detergent doesn’t get the dishes, cutlery clean. Some of it that I cleaned in the sink first is fine. But other bits have come out with grease marks still on and it leaves rings in mugs and cutlery isn’t clean and I did your rinse aid too. I don’t know what to do????
Oh darn! I'm sorry to hear that. It works for me, so I'm not sure. Do you have hard water? Also, you might try using less detergent and see how that works.
Right so update. It does work beautifully if I just rinse off the plates etc in the sink. I’m more than happy to do that to avoid chemicals. Thank you. I just like doing my cutlery by hand though. But it also cleaned the inside of my dishwasher beautifully lol. Thank you so much. Love everything you do x
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife 🤣 miss know it all !
How much of the detergent do you put in the dishwasher? I filled up the little compartment and my dishwasher was making a funny noise, opened it up and it’s filled with suds. So wondering what amount you normally use
Hi! I do 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon.
This is so frustrating.. I’ve waisted so much Sal suds because I can’t get it to a gel consistency.. my dishes come out with salt all over them.
Oh goodness, I wouldn’t keep adding salt, that will change it altogether. It’s hard for me to help exactly when I can’t see what you’re doing exactly, I’ve done the best I can to help so far without being with you in person. The recipe works for and many others, so I’m sorry it’s been difficult!
Well..,., I have pH meter so I did use that after making this detergent.
The pH is 2.0
Im not sure this works well to greasy dishes.
Acidic pH works for stain of water, stainless steel not for greasy, oily dishes.
Im hesitate to use this though I made..
I think it's great that you tested it with a pH meter! Did you use Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds or Castile Soap? Because Castile Soap is not good at all for washing dishes and will leave an oily film on them.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife I cannot get the Sal suds easily. Instead I used a highly concentrated liquid soap which is all purpose used. Its pH is around 10(alkalinity). It looked almost same as Sal Suds.
I tested your recipe for two days, It was quite good for now!! Id like to say wonderful but just two days. The dishes were not greasy greasy ones but still some of them were very oily though. I couldnt feel oily touch.
I can expect how they become clean when they are so oily.
For two days, I felt this natural detergent is much better other dishwasher detergents(except Cascade Platinum, my no.1 detergent). This detergent got no.2 :) and the best of natural ones.
I have used only washing soda for cleaning, and citric acid for rinsing, I could smell fat of meet on dishes.
I could smell nothing with this detergent, I think lemon juice is very helpful.
I used to wash silicon dishes and some printed dishes with hands because silicon ones get the scent of Cascade and some dishes get damaged.
Now, I can put anything in dishwasher because of the diy detergent.
Thank you for this recipe.
I have the last two questions, do you expect the better result If I use Sal Suds?
and the subtitles is written as tea spoon when you say Table spoon.
Table spoon is correct, right?
Id just like to be make sure :)
I just checked the ingredient list of Sal Sud and surprisingly it has SLS which is a chemical and carcinogenic. Not sure why this recipe is called natural.
Yes it is made of almost entirely SLS. But it’s not toxic - Dr. Bronner’s makes their SLS differently than other companies - I have more info about it on my blog. It’s complicated, but basically, the way they make it removes the toxic byproduct. Many natural recipes in stores that are actually safe use SLS, not it’s not always a toxic ingredient. Mostly the problem with it is that it’s rough on your skin and hair.
So it’s only for dishwashing machine and not hand wash
That is correct, for the dishwashing machine and not hand washing dishes.
My recipe coagulated. Turned it into cottage cheese.
Sodium hypochlorite isn’t used in any Brand of consumer dishwasher detergent, it would deactivate the enzymes in modern detergent... commercial dishwashers use a sodium hypochlorite based detergent but that’s a different story. Where did you even get this information? It’s not factual. Also manufactured detergents are made to be biodegradable in sewage treatment facilities/septic tanks, it’s not getting dumped directly into aquatic life.
Unfortunately this recipe is not usable for greywater systems. Sodium anything is really bad for plants and soil.
I’m sorry but no you use more plastic making your own.. but I get what you mean. But let’s be real .. you might fill up the one bottle but when you run out of your ingredients then you have to rebuy them and you purchase more plastic throwing out more plastic… so yea.. unfortunately I guess it comes with wanting to be healthier and natural somehow.
This is terrible . DO NOT USE IN DISHWASHER, My dishwasher gave error message 4 times then it spewed soap all over the kitchen floor.
Please, please, please, get on with it... We know all that, we just want the how to do it.
