There are a lot of recipes available for homemade dishwasher soap, but I also wanted to make homemade dishwashing liquid. After much searching, I finally found a recipe that works. We're on our second batch and have made a few modification, but it seems to be working well. We are still getting used to the fact that it doesn't foam. I actually added an extra tablespoon of castile soap to the recipe (the original recipe can be found at Towards Sustainability) to add some foam and give the dishwashing liquid some extra power.
Ingredients:
2 cups warm water
4 tbsp citrus castile soap (Dr. Bronner's)
2 tsp vegetable glycerin
2 tbs vinegar
1 tbs lemon juice
Directions:
Mix the ingredients together (preferably in the order listed), so they dissolve into the water.
Castile soap is a great all-purpose cleaner, vinegar kills germs and bacteria, vegetable glycerin helps break down oils, lemon juice is also a grease cutter and a stain remover.
