Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Epsom salt, borax, washing soda, and lemon juice. Stir until everything is well mixed.

If the mixture is too crumbly, add a little more lemon juice until it reaches a pastier consistency.

Spoon the mixture into the ice cube tray, filling each compartment to the top.

To use, simply place one tablet in the detergent dispenser of your dishwasher and run the cycle as normal. Enjoy clean, fresh-smelling dishes without the added cost or harmful chemicals.

  1. What are measurements of ingredients ?

  2. Del Loubser says

    I would also like to know how much of each ingredient. I also wonder if we really want to put oils into our dishwashers. Wouldn’t it be better to use a water based fragrance?

    There’s no measurements for anything. How do you know if you have it right? I’d like to try but I’m bad about just winging it. lol
