I love making my own dishwasher tablets!
Why ? Because already, it allows me to save money.
And what's more, these homemade lozenges smell great.
The icing on the cake is that it allows me to control what I put in.
Rest assured, these tablets leave the dishes perfectly clean.
And as a bonus:they have a fresh and pleasant smell!
Don't worry, these tablets only take 5 minutes to prepare! Watch:
- 125 g baking soda
- 63g Epsom salt
- 1 cup of soda crystals
- 80 to 120 ml lemon juice
- 8 drops of lavender essential oil
1. Put baking soda, Epsom salts, lavender essential oil and soda crystals in a bowl.
2. Mix well.
3. Add the lemon juice when the mixture is wet, but not yet soaked.
Note: the objective is to obtain a homogeneous paste without lumps.
4. Put the mixture into ice cube trays, pressing firmly. Then tap the tray to smooth it out.
5. Let them dry for at least 3 or 4 hours before removing them from the tray.
6. Put your tablets in an airtight container. For example, a nice jar if you have one.
There you go, your dishwasher tablets are ready in just 5 min :-)
All you have to do is put 1 tablet in the usual compartment of your dishwasher.
This recipe will allow you to fill about 1 classic ice cube tray.
If you have hard water, add a little white vinegar to the rinse aid compartment.
It is a natural rinsing agent that prevents lime stains on dishes.
