Diy Dishwasher Pods For Hard Water. After doing some reading, i found that our dishwasher doesn’t rinse the dishes as well as it should, because we have very hard water. I have been making dishwasher pods but i do not think my dishes get as clean as store bought ones.
The first time i made my own dishwasher pods, i used a recipe that called for baking soda, citric acid and water, among other ingredients. I really resent being asked to spend almost $15 for a box of what is essentially just soap “pillows.” but it seems that apparently i’m one of many that plunks down my hard earned cash for dishwasher tab. Water softness can have a significant impact on the results of your wash cycle.
My only complaint about these dishwasher pods is that they sometimes leave our son’s bottles looking a bit cloudy.
These all natural diy dishwasher pods will change your life, pinky swear! Borax is a favorite detergent booster and does a fantastic job in the dishwasher, the epsom (or course kosher salt) helps avoid the effects of hard water build up on your dishes and glassware, as does the vinegar. (vinegar also helps to bind the ingredients when making the tablets.) and finally, there’s a bit of lemon essential oil in the mix, added for it’s antibacterial properties, and its fresh, clean scent! So i am going to try this.
