Made some dishwashing soap!

[StingingNettle]

I got inspired by a thread further down in this forum and decided to try the recipe someone posted.

It works okay. I think there may not be enough citric acid, as the bottle says is for hard water cloudiness. My glasses are still coming out a bit cloudy, though they already were with regular detergent.

I have found that I have to do a better job of rinsing the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher.

I'm not sure it's worth it, but I'm giving it some time before I decide. It is healthier and safer for the environment. And goodness knows it is far cheaper. Dish washing detergent is so expensive!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I have really been considering making my own dish detergent because I have trouble with cloudy dishes too, especially cups. I guess it could be me not rinsing well enough but it would still be interesting to try.
