- 1 c. Borax (some Target stores carry this)
- 1 c. Washing soda (I purchased this on drugstore.com, where if you get a free trial of Shoprunner.com, everything ships free!)
- 1/4 c. Kosher salt (Target)
- 2 Packets unsweetened lemonade Kool-Aid (since you're buying everything else in bulk, stock up on Kool-Aid in bulk too, so you have everything you need)
- 1/2 c. Vinegar
- 3 drops Dawn dish soap
If you buy the normal sizes of all of the ingredients, you will pay about $10 for everything, and I figure if I do two loads each week, it should last close to a full year! (I will probably need to stock up on vinegar once or twice more during the year, so my total cost will probably be about $15/year.) My husband has already gotten used to it, and our dishes seem just as clean as ever! :)
