Clean House: Homemade Dish Detergent

This new house has helped my "eco-friendly side" to come out even more (I'm a huge fan of recycling but to this point, that's all I've really done). Now I'm venturing more into organic ways of cleaning... I thought I'd start off easy.

After doing some research I found an adorable blog that showed step by step directions on how to make dishwasher detergent with just a few ingredients. It seemed easy enough so I dove it and ran to Wal Mart (which is entirely too close to my house-- I find myself going there every day... ) to get the things I needed and came home ready to eco-clean my dishes.

This is all you need! (and some White Vinegar for the rinse cycle) ... See? Simple!
After mixing everything together I put it in the jar in the middle and set that next to the sink, near the dishwasher. It funcitional and it fits with my decore. You can't ask for more! :)

I literally searched around the house for dirty things so that I could test it out and see if it worked! I especially wanted to wash some glass items and see how that came out (if there were spots or not!) and they came out perfectly!

It works great and it's CHEAP! Two of my favorite things....
