I’m Jessica, a mom on a mission to show other women that you can live well without breaking the bank.

Dishes...ugh. Doing dishes is one of my least favorite chores...right next to doing laundry of course! Even though I don't love doing dishes, I simply have no choice. The other thing, I am constantly running out of dish tabs, and the last time I went to buy them, I was shocked! When did dish detergent start costing as much as a good steak? I decided to try making my own and tested it out. It worked perfectly, and cost less $6 for the supplies that will make about 4 times more than the store bought detergent that cost more than that! So, today I'm sharing my Homemade Dishwasher Detergent Recipe so you can make you own too if you wish!
Here is what you will need to fill a large mason jar...
2 Cups of Borax
2 Cups of Washing Soda
4 Packets of Sugar Free Kool-Aid Lemonade
A Container To Store Your Detergent In
Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl and fill your container...I love using a large mason jar!
Fill both detergent cups in your dishwasher, close the big one and let her rip!
My dishes came out all sparkly and clean...even my wine glasses!
I will never buy dishwasher detergent at the store again, and doesn't it look cute there on my sink? And now, washing dishes costs me less than 50 cents a load...whoop! I call that a win!
Today I'm also sharing 10 Tips for Cleaning With Salt at The Graphics Fairy blog! Be sure to stop by and check them out...they are truly awesome!!!
And if you are looking for more cleaning tips and tricks, check out my 8 Tips for Cleaning Your Kitchen From Top To Bottom, including How To Clean In Between The Glass On Your Oven Doors!
Happy Cleaning!

The Kool-Aid ingredient... is that the kind that comes without sugar or with sugar?
Reply
Sugar free...going back into the post to make sure it says that...thank you!

This left a film and spots all over my dishes, even after an extra rinse cycle. May be dud to having hard water. Any suggestions?
Reply
I'm not real sure, Randi. We have hard water as well, and they work great for me. Are you using a rinse aid with them? Hope it's just a fluke! Jess
Reply
I'm a tad confused too. Unsweetened or sweetened but sugar-free ( aspartame )?
Reply
I am going to try this for sure! Question - what is the lemonade for? just for the scent of lemon?
Reply
The acidic acid in the lemonade mix helps with shine and less spots and it smells good :)

Would you please tell me how to clean between the glass on my oven doors I tried to open the site and my smart phone

I am going to give this a try! My sweetie says that in the Army they used lemon-lime Kool-Aid for cleaning burned pots and pans. So, I'm going to get some of that, rather than the lemonade.
As to the question about what the Kool-Aid does: the citric acid in the drink powder is a grease cutter.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I'm really enjoying your site. :)

Do you think that country time lemonade mix would work in place of the kool-aid?
Reply
50 cents per load sounds very expensive
Reply
I have made this detergent it works great I just have one issue it seems to clump after it sits, I normally have to mash it before each use, any suggestions?
Reply
I haven't had trouble with clumping, but it may be because I use it so quickly. Maybe just give it a good shake before each use? I hope it still works great for you!

I was looking at the Dishwasher detergent recipe and one ingredient was unknown to me.....what is Washing Soda???

Industrial copper waste solutions Copper is a widely used metal that has played a significant role in the development of modern life. From electrical wiring to plumbing, transportation, and renewable energy systems, copper is an essential component of many everyday products and technologies, making it one of the most valuable metals in the world. One of copper's most significant properties is that it is an excellent electrical conductor, which is why it is commonly used in electrical wiring and equipment. Copper wires are used in nearly every building, vehicle, and machine that requires an electrical current to operate. Additionally, electronic devices like smartphones, computers, and gaming consoles also contain copper as a primary component of their internal circuitry. Copper is also a crucial component in the transportation industry. Cars, trucks, trains, and airplanes all require copper for their electrical systems, engine components, and other vital parts. Copper's durability, malleability, and resistance to heat and corrosion make it an ideal material for use in a range of transportation applications. Furthermore, copper is vital in the production of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. The metal is used in the construction of solar panels and wind turbines due to its excellent conductive properties and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. In fact, each wind turbine requires several tons of copper for its internal components, which generate electricity from the power of the wind. Copper's importance can also be seen in the medical industry. Copper is used in the production of medical equipment, such as X-ray machines, MRI scanners, and surgical instruments, due to its ability to conduct electricity and its antimicrobial properties, which make it an effective material for preventing infection in healthcare settings. In conclusion, copper is an indispensable metal that is crucial to modern life. Its applications are numerous, ranging from electrical wiring and equipment to transportation, renewable energy systems, and even healthcare. As technology advances, the demand for copper will only continue to increase, making it a valuable resource for generations to come Scrap metal recovery center Copper scrap processing technology Copper waste management Copper scrap supply chain Copper smelting services Metal recycling industry

It is used in a variety of applications across multiple industries, including construction, electronics, transportation, and healthcare. Construction: Copper is used widely in the construction industry for electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, and cladding. Copper plumbing pipes are durable, non-toxic, and don't corrode easily, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial plumbing systems. Copper roofing provides excellent weather resistance and is often used for high-end buildings, while copper cladding offers a durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional facades. Electronics: Copper is widely used in the electronics industry because of its high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. It is used for printed circuit boards, connectors, semiconductor devices, and electromagnets. Copper wiring is also used in electrical and telecommunication cables due to its ability to carry high amounts of electrical current over long distances. Transportation: Copper is also used in transportation applications, including automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, and aerospace. Copper is used in automotive radiators, brake pads, and electrical components, while copper-nickel alloys are used in shipbuilding because of their corrosion resistance and ability to withstand harsh marine environments. In the aerospace industry, copper is used for wiring and various components of aircraft systems. Healthcare: Copper is also recognized for its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Copper-based alloys are used in various medical applications, including catheters, surgical tools, and implants. The use of copper surfaces can reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) by killing bacteria on contact. Copper is also used in fabric and clothing to reduce bacterial and fungal growth. In conclusion, copper is a versatile metal used for a wide range of applications across multiple industries. Its excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, ductility, and malleability make it a popular choice in construction, electronics, transportation, and healthcare Scrap metal reprocessing facility Waste water treatment in copper recycling Copper scrap shipment tracking Scrap Copper refining Copper sheet scrap purchasing Metal recovery center

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
