Homemade Dishwasher Pods

I was on the hunt for new dishwasher pods and honestly, I was starting to fall out of love with Blueland tabs. I noticed I had to clean my dishwasher more often, which was definitely not ideal!

Then, I stumbled upon an incredible DIY recipe for making my own dishwasher pods, and let me tell you, they work like a charm!

The best part? They’re made with green ingredients, so I can feel good about what I'm using. Plus, they're so simple to whip up that I can even get the kiddos involved in the process.

It’s a fun little project that leaves our dishes sparkling clean!

Steps:

• In a bowl mix 1 cup baking soda with 1/4 cup salt.

• Add 2 teaspoons of an all natural dish soap (I used Attitude Green Apple), and then enough vinegar to dampen the mixture. Start with 2 tablespoons and mix well.

• Add more vinegar until the mixture feels moist (but not wet) and holds together when you compress it between your fingers.

• Then pack about one tablespoon of the mix into each opening of your silicone ice cube mold (I used Dinosaur Molds).

• Tamp it down really firmly to really pack it in. Now all you need to do is let it dry completely in a warm place.

• This will take about 24-48 hours.

• Gently remove the pods from the mold and store in a closed container.
