Zero-waste, non-toxic, dishwasher tabs and if you have kiddos, invite them to make these little guys with you - they take all of 10 minutes to create. They work well too! Especially if you add white vinegar (2 Tbsp) to the rinse compartment of your dishwasher. Wanna try?
Here’s the super simple recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup washing soda
1 cup baking soda
1/4 cup citric acid
1 cup of kosher salt
1 cup water
5 drops of essential oils (optional)
Distilled white vinegar Directions
Directions
1) Add first four ingredients in a bowl and mix well
2) Add water and enjoy the fizz! Mix ingredients thoroughly
3) Spoon mixture into ice cube trays (or silicone molds)
4) Allow mixture to dry and harden - it takes about an hour (I put it in the freezer, not sure if that helps speed up the process but it seems to)
5) Once dry and hard, remove tabs from mold/tray and store in an airtight container. As with commercial dish tabs, use one per load and add about 2 Tbsp of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to make dishes come out sparkly clean
P.S. Kosher salt helps soften hard water so if that’s not an issue for you, you may be able to skip that ingredient. Worth a try! Less is always more.
