I've added you to my reading list. (Do you have more than two? If so, comment using those user names. Cha-ching, baby! Readership is SKYROCKETING!) <br /><br />I'll see if I can find the recipe on that site. I appreciate the tip. Oh, and hey, I actually got my homemade dishwashing detergent to work today--I about fell over from shock--but I don't know if it's because I added castile soap or because the rinse agent thing flew open and a ton of vinegar poured forth. We'll see if I can hit two in a row...Trisha Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815737654347025410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231839579497973933.post-75097047595947446832012-03-08T17:13:06.215-08:002012-03-08T17:13:06.215-08:00oh, that's funny, I just realized it took the ...oh, that's funny, I just realized it took the other blog name this time!

Next time I make it, I'm going to add more water though, it's a bit thick for me.<br /><br />Happy Thursday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231839579497973933.post-78971020361375206862012-03-07T20:45:50.392-08:002012-03-07T20:45:50.392-08:00Wow, my first comment from a stranger! Thanks for...Wow, my first comment from a stranger! Thanks for taking the time to write. And the time to read my ramble.<br /><br />This whole dishwasher ordeal is pushing me to the brink. I keep thinking if I tweak it a bit it will work, but so far, all I've done is throw a lot of tantrums. What keeps me going is that I wasn't having much better luck with the Cascade powder I was buying anyway. There's just gotta be a way to make this work... except I tend to be optimistic about all the wrong things, so who knows?<br /><br />On the upside, the other homemade cleaners I've made have worked really well. (Thank you, Internet!) There are so many different recipes out there that it's sort of fun sifting through them and seeing what works for us. Aside from the dishwasher extravaganza, I mean. I find myself cleaning more because it's just a much more pleasant experience. I agree, less chemicals makes a girl much happier. I love that my house smells fresh now instead of like a chemical dump. I also love that there is less product under my sinks.<br /><br />Hey, what laundry detergent recipe do you use? That's next on my list. I found something on Pinterest, but am still researching to see what else is out there.Trisha Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815737654347025410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231839579497973933.post-17276164627995342652012-03-07T15:05:25.771-08:002012-03-07T15:05:25.771-08:00I had the same problem with my dishwasher!

I finally gave in and bought a different detergent (Finish gel packs). I hate to say it, but my dishes have never been cleaner. I have not found a homemade recipe or other detergent that gets them as clean. Yes, it's more expensive as detergents go, but when you don't have to clean them twice, I'm sure that makes up for it! Plus, they come in a cardboard (recyclable!) box! <br /><br />I'm glad someone else is trying different homemade cleaner recipes too! I can't wait to try some of yours. I buy vinegar and baking soda by the big boxes, and I started doing my own laundry detergent too! Less chemicals = happier Sheryl! Except when it comes to the dishwasher, apparently!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
