Have you ever looked at the store bought plastic covered chemically dishwasher pods and wondered how hard it is to make your own? It's actually really easy!! Here's a recipe I put together that works great for me!

I find this recipe works great for the average dishwasher load! If I have a heavier load I usually put two pods in to be on the safe side. Also, instead of a rinse aid I use vinegar in the rinse aid dispenser.
With this batch costing little more than a box of baking soda, it's a cost effective alternative, and so much safer than bought pods!
