As someone who's been crafting homemade cleaning solutions for years, I swear by these DIY dishwasher tablets. They save money, smell amazing, and let me control every ingredient for peace of mind.
These tablets deliver perfectly clean dishes with a fresh, pleasant scent—no compromises.
And the best part? They're ready in just 5 minutes. Here's how:
Contents 
1. In a bowl, combine baking soda, Epsom salt, lavender essential oil, and soda crystals.
2. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
3. Slowly add lemon juice to moisten the mixture without making it soggy—aim for a smooth, lump-free paste.
Note: The key is a uniform consistency.
4. Spoon the mixture into ice cube trays, press firmly, and tap to level the surface.
5. Allow to dry for 3-4 hours, then pop out the tablets.
6. Store in an airtight container, like a glass jar.
Your homemade dishwasher tablets are ready in just 5 minutes! Drop one in your dishwasher's usual compartment per load.
This recipe fills about one standard ice cube tray.
For hard water areas, add white vinegar to the rinse aid compartment—it acts as a natural anti-limescale agent to keep dishes streak-free.
