I've made several recipes for dish washer soap and none of them did the job. Last night i made your recipe plus i added few drops of dish soap and some white vinegar to the dish washer. The result was absolutely fantastic. Even better than conventional dish washer soap! Specially the glasses were spotless and super shiny (with previous recipes i always had a white coat on the glasses). Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. I really appreciate it. This saves our family lot's of money, plus no harsh chemicals and all natural ingredients are good for our body and the environment. ❤️
Thats very strange because for me this recipe left a horrible white film all over my dishes. I am still searching for something that works.
Harsh chemical number 1: Dawn
Thank you so so so much for your recipe..I made them yesterday and even though I didn’t let them sit to harden completely before trying them ..I’m amazed how well this recipe cleans- makes your dishes feel as if you just pull them out of their package ..this recipe leaves no film like my prior recipe from years ago as well as sparkly squeaky clean..my favorite brand is now $20 so looking to save money but still have a good product -your recipe hands down is the best beating out the stores products too!
Thank you! I've made this 3 times already they work great! I did switch away from making them into tabs because I find they crumble anyway, so I just mix the powder and essential oils together and spoon it into the dishwasher.
Great to know! Yes, just using it as a powder also works. I'm glad you are using it and it works for you. Thank you for your comment, it's much appreciated. 😀💖
So update in this! haha My humidifier kind of turned my loose powder into a solid chunk in the container haha. So this time I just put the powder in the ice cube trays and am just going to leave it for a few days and hope it comes together, and then whatever falls apart I'm just going to scoop. I am a bit worried that putting in too much water too early will react all the citic acid and baking soda before I get to them. What do you think?
@@JessieSamanthaEmily Lol. I've had that happen too. I've been placing my dishwasher tabs under my sink which is why they won't hold together. I loved the idea of not having to put them together as tabs and have enjoyed your idea of powder instead. Hope all turns out well for you.
Do you let the tabs dry in the mold? How do you get them out without falling apart and how long do you let them dry after you take them out of the mold?
Thanks so much for the recipe. Works like a charm
I would recommend using a mask when mixing this. Did you see the powder mix floating in the air and you inhale that which can irritate your lungs. Also I notice that you coughed as the powder was floating up? A lot of good information tho!
Mine turned watery. Can I store in a container and use that ?
After you put them in the ice cube container, do you freeze them? Or can you store them in a glass jar or will they break apart?
@@SophiaFrangias I store mine in a glass jar once they have hardened.
@@mayflylife do you freeze them or how long do they take to harden? Do you have to put something in the jar to keep them from breaking apart?
Is the mixture suppose to get warm?
in order to have the citric acid and the baking soda react during the washing cycle thus increasing the washing power of the mixture , i introduce the mix of powders still dry with a spoon ….i add some home made apple cider vinagar …
Can we make this for selling purpose ??
I've tried several recipes all with these same ingredients and they all leave a white film on my glasses. :-( Do you know which ingredients cause this? I have hard water and the only thing that helps is adding about a half cup of white vinegar directly into the dishwasher - but I'd rather not have to do that if possible. I'm just not sure which ingredients to increase/decrease, or even eliminate. Wondering what would happen if I used vinegar instead of the 1/4 cup of water. All thoughts appreciated - love your recipe.
Wise Dove All ingredients leave a white Film except the citric acid. Even when you add salt for softening hard water in your dishwashing machine you have to run it empty otherwise lives your dishes full of white spots. Is difficult to create a dishwashing stuff at home.
You prolly dont care but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend lately =)
@Eduardo Omar definitely, I've been using Instaflixxer for since november myself =)
I have the same problem with the white film. Its not from hard water. Cascade works perfect on my dishes, but his recipe and other homemade recipe's don't work. Let me know if you finally find something that works.
Does it clean the glasses well? Mine leave the milk stains looking bad :( although the cups feel clean but they don’t shine like they do with the ready tablets! Plz advise how to overcome.
I’ve tried this twice now and it foams so much iI foams out of the mold. When I push it down it sticks to my finger or utensil and comes out. Turned into a huge mess. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
@dctarrant5 Thank you for your question. I had the same issues when I made them for the first time. Continuous mixing and drizzling very slowly is the key. I know it can be a little frustrating, but it does the trick. I hope this helps.
I’ve tried 3 batches and it has foamed over so bad and is just a mess. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
do u need dishwasher salt and rinse aid to add if u use this recipe???
Thank you for your question. Yes, you still need a rinsing agent.
Is it supposed keep bubbling after i put it in the ice cube trays?
@old_girl657 Yes, it should bubble slightly throughout the process. If it's bubbling a lot, add very little amounts of liquid at a time to the dry ingredients while continuously stirring.
Thank you very much@@mayflylife
mine did not turn as a paste : ( it was all foam and liquid.. i poured it to tabs anyway and will wait for tom. any ideas why??
Yeah, it can foam really bad if the liquid is poured to quickly. It needs to be incorporated very, very slowly.
@@mayflylife i waited for the next morning and it turned into agel,ly and grainy.. i used it anways and it was nice.. do i need to dishwasher salt with this recipe.. thank you very much for answering..
Is Borax an essential to this mixture or could it be substituted? I have decided to go the DIY route as it saves money and trips to the store during this time of pandemic. Unfortunately Amazon has sold out of a majority of items now and I am unable to get hold of Borax.
Yes, there are a lot of recipes that you can create that don't require the use of Borax. I personally have not used them, but many indicate it works great. I've included a no Borax recipe for you to try below.
1.5-2 cups of Washing Soda (use 2c if you have hard water)
1 cup of Citric Acid
0.5 cups of Baking Soda
0.5 cups of Salt
@@mayflylife Thanks so so much! So far the best video out here yet. Thank you for not wearing 20lbs of make-up and spending the first 10 minutes of the video squealing about your wonderful life LOL =)
I put too much water . Is my batch ruined?
It depends on how too much water it actually was. If a lot, try adding a few teaspoons of baking soda and borax.
@@mayflylife i added some borax and that did the trick . Thank you!
JessieSamanthaEmily how much of the powder do you use per load?
Hi Amy, each tab weighs 9 to 11 grams, so about that amount for the powder form.😀
I use about 2 Tbsp, which actually fills the reservoir on my dishwasher. 😀
The problem isnt if I personally want or dont want to use Borax. The problem is that its not allowed in EU. So you cant get hold of it legally. :(
You can buy it online, i did. Very easy and cheap.
Its not allowed in every country. You cant buy it legally here.

Where do you find citric acid
baking section at the grcery store, or Amazon :)
لو سمحتي الترجمه،،،، ولك الشكر مهتمه
Dont add citric acid
umm uhh, ummm, and uhh, ummm, uhh,
At 5 bucks per 40 tabs I'll stick to store bought
Great that you prefer store bought, that's your preference. "Just curious" as to why you would comment on a subject that has nothing to do with your channel? Good for you that you "only" pay $5, more power to you, but is it healthier? Thanks for your comment though.
I'm Curious I’ve never found them at that price. Where?
