Do you make your own dishwasher detergent? Or laundry soap? I have recently come across many blogs of folks making their own detergents. I think I will try making my own as well. Of course I decided this after I stocked up on laundry soap because I found a good sale! :) So it looks like I will be starting with dishwasher detergent. For the most part my dishwasher seems to get the dishes clean, but it is leaving a cloudy film on the plastic dishes. I bought a container of Tang while I was at the store (yes when I forgot the honey) and I will be running an empty load with just some Tang to see if that can't get rid of the film. For those of you who don't know, Tang is a great cleaner for dishwashers. I am just not sure what exactly is causing the cloudy film on the plastic ware. I also read on another blog that she uses white vinegar to keep the spots from occurring. If the Tang doesn't work, I will be trying the vinegar. I have Jet Dry in there now, but who knows why it's still cloudy. We just moved in here the beginning of the month so you just never know what the previous tenants did. The recipe I think I will try is: 1 c. Borax 1 c. washing soda 2 tbsp Tang. Remember if you try this recipe, I have not yet tried it so I can't guarantee how well it's going to work.
