It cleans off dried egg yolk!! -and peanut butter #win Making your own dishwasher detergent is an excellent choice, whether you're going for a non-toxic/clean alternative, a plastic-free option, or a budget-friendly swap.
My Recipe:
- 1 cup washing soda
- 1 cup baking soda
- 3/4 cup citric acid* (other recipes range from 3 T - 1 cup)
- 3/4 cup coarse salt (other recipes range from 1/4 cup - 1 cup)
*one source said, as a rule of thumb, to only use 1/4 cup of citric acid, to every one cup of washing soda, because they may counteract each other
How Much to Use: 1 tablespoon per load
- 1 T has been working for me
- if 1 tablespoon isn’t working for you, try adding some powder to your prewash compartment OR use up to 2 tablespoons in the wash compartment

Scripture:
Proverbs 24:17-22 NLT (https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PRO.24.NLT)
“Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall; don’t be happy when they stumble. For the Lord will be displeased with you and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers; don’t envy the wicked. For evil people have no future; the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
My child, fear the Lord and the king. Don’t associate with rebels, for disaster will hit them suddenly.
Who knows what punishment will come from the Lord and the king?”
