Homemade Dishwasher Soap

HOMEMADE DISHWASHER SOAP I had tried different home-made remedy dishwasher detergents before and they clumped together and I didn't like how they worked. 1st let me say that if your dishwasher is dirty, and let's face it they all get that way from time to time, run it through a cycle with 1/2 a container, (regular size), of Tang. It will clean the dishwasher and make it sparkle. Of course if the seals of the dishwasher are caked with crud, you may need to use that butter knife and remove the excess grease and dirt that have accumulated there. Now then .... Dishwasher Detergent Purchase a container of Oxi-clean or other kind of oxygen bleach, "Sun" at the Dollar Stores ..... To the soap dispenser of the machine, or into the bottom of the dishwasher add 1 tsp. of Oxi-Clean or other oxygen bleach. Then add ONLY 1/2 tsp. of Dawn dish soap. (I haven't tried other brands but I'm not sure why they wouldn't work. We use Dawn to degrease our dishes and also our sheep's wool before spinning so we use that). Then place 1/2 cup of white vinegar in a small cup or other container on the top shelf of the dishwasher. That's it! Just wash the dishes as per usual! Oh ...also ...you can use the white vinegar in your rinse aid section of your dishwasher. :) It does a good job for that also!
