Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Barbara sent this to me today, thought you all might enjoy seeing it. Cyndi In a plastic container with a firmly fitting lid, mix: 1 cup borax (20-Mule-Team Borax) 1 cup baking soda1/4 cup salt1/4 cup citric acid 30 drops citrus essential oil--I use orange Put all of it in the container, shake it up. Use 1 tbl percontainer in the dishwasher. You will need to rinse dishes before loading as this nontoxic recipe will not melt off the chunks of food like store bought toxic powders will.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok, thanks for the update! One tablespoon does sound a little skimpy, especially for the people I live with, lol.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I interpreted the original directions to be 1 tbsp. for each soap container in the dishwasher (mine has 2). Does this mean that I should put 2 tbsp. in each soap container?
