How to Make Homemade Dishwasher Powder in Just 2 Minutes

There you have it—your homemade dishwasher powder is ready! Quick, simple, and highly effective.

Ditch overpriced tablets forever. This batch yields about 30 washes for just €2.50 in ingredients—that's less than €0.09 per wash.

As a cleaning enthusiast with hands-on experience, I can confirm it's simpler, cheaper, and outperforms store-bought options.

Usage

Add 1 teaspoon to the dispenser tray per load. It foams beautifully, leaving glasses streak-free, dishes perfectly degreased, and everything sparkling.

My dishes have never looked better—far superior to commercial detergents, at a fraction of the cost.

Why does it work?

Citric acid degreases, disinfects, and tackles limescale.

Percarbonate acts as a powerful natural degreaser—essentially powdered hydrogen peroxide.

Soda crystals boost cleaning power and enhance citric acid's effectiveness.

Sodium coco-sulfate provides the essential surfactant for foaming and cleansing.
