Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix washing soda and citric acid in a small container with a tight fitting lid.

  2. Add 1 tablespoon of the dry mixture per dishwasher load to the main detergent compartment. Use 2 tablespoons if the load is heavy or especially dirty.

  3. Fill the dishwasher rinse compartment with the white vinegar. This is optional, but recommended if you have hard water.

Recipe Notes

**Stir the powder every time or every other time you use it to prevent clumping.
