Wow...I had no idea how long it would take me to get my first post up and going. I am sure you can all relate to the life of a busy mom, wife and full time secretarty. I squeeze as much out of one day as possible. I love creating, gardening, decorating and spending time with my husband and daughters.
My first post will be simple but important. My sweet neighbor, Pam gave me this recipe about a year ago and I have been using it since that day. I fell like everytime I go to Costco I walk out with a cart full of laundry and cleaning supplies. The cost is CRAZY! This dishwasher soap recipe is inexpensive and effective. Living on a farm with well water is very hard on my dishes, clothes and HAIR! This dish powder works great and is easy on the septic system ( I know most of you have city sewer, and I am jealous).
The recipe is simple and you can also find this on http://www.pintrest.com/, so I will cut to the point:
HOMEMADE POWDER DISH WASHING SOAP:
1 cup Borax
1 cup Washing Soda
1 Cup Table Salt
1 pack Lemon Koolaid
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and store in a dry/air tight container. Use 1 tablespoon for each load.
The Lemon Koolaid is important as the lemon keeps the dishes shiny! I am not a chemist, not do I have time to look up why this happens. I will just refer to it as LEMON MAGIC, and call it good.
Happy Washing and have a WACKY day! Tonia
