Dishwasher Detergent....and rinse

‎Dishwasher Detergent
1 cup baking soda 
1 cup borax 
1 cup warm water 
Mix well and store in an airtight container.
Use 1 tbsp for light loads or 2 for heavier ones.
For a rinse agent to keep the cloudiness and spots off....fill the rinse container with white vinegar. 


OR try this one....This is the one I used because I have really hard water...
Dishwasher Detergent
1 c. borax
1 c. washing soda
1/2 c. citric acid (double this amount for hard water) I used 1 c. Lemi Shine
1/2 c. kosher salt
Stir together and use 1 T. per load.  
The citric acid may cause this to clump together.  To prevent this leave the lid off for a day or two and stir it often until it dries out.  
You may also use lemon juice as a rinse agent instead of white vinegar.


Now you have a couple of choices to try.
