Amazing Dishwasher Powder
I've finally been able to test the recipe I have given out before which was sent to me by a reader. It's quite fantastic. I've adjusted it slightly but you'll love it and can be safe in the knowledge that it is cheaper and less toxic than the commercial ones. This does have a little borax in it which is toxic in high doses, but shouldn't be swallowed so do keep this in your old dishwasher powder bottle with a child preventing screw cap on it.

½ cup of borax
½ cup soda ash (this is powdered washing soda, not the crystals. Try Trade Me or www.lotusoils.co.nz)
¼ cup of citric acid
½ cup salt (not iodised))
10 drops of lemon essential oil
Place all in a plastic container and shake.
Use 1 Tbsp per load. Use white vinegar in the rinse compartment.
Let us know how it works.
