In an attempt to use less chemicals in our home, reduce waste and our environmental impact we trialled some DIY dishwasher detergent recipes... as you do...
Thanks for the research and recipes. Even though the mass-produced tabs work out cheaper, it is still worth making your own as you know what is in them and, as you say, you can use the right amount for your needs. They are in fact cheaper than the eco brands - so I reckon you are on to a winner! Also you don't have to ship them in (smaller carbon footprint?) Plus you get to mess about with squishy stuff !
Thanks for your encouragement!! I think I need to get the dishwasher aid down too - as that seems to make a big difference I’m finding. If I find I run out of time during busier work periods and can’t keep up with making them at least I know the Smol ones are pretty good value. They are supposed to be eco though I still need to take a look at what’s actually in them.
