I just made this awesome lemon-scented homemade dishwashing detergent to start using because it is so simple. I have already used it and it works, y'all. It really works! Here is how simple this is.
Instructions
You will need:
2 cups borax
2 cups super washing soda (arm & hammer)
3 packets pink lemonade drink mix (2 qt size)
air-tight container for storage

Just dump all of the ingredients into one large bowl.
Now use a (preferably wooden) spoon and stir the ingredients SLOWLY. You may want to use a mask or do this:
The nasty powder stuff that comes up into your lungs will make you hack up a lung... Yuck!
Don't be lazy and leave all the lumps. Use your spoon handle to smoosh them up and keep stirring. This whole process only took about 2 minutes, so it really isn't as bad as it may seem... Pinky promise.
Now pour all of the mix into your chosen air-tight container and seal that thing up!

If you are smart, you would download the printable I made just for the project, shown below. :) Just print, cut it out, and tape it on!
Ta da!
Instructions for Use
Put 1 Tbsp in the pre-wash dispenser and 1 Tbsp in the regular dispenser of your dishwasher. I also recommend adding vinegar as a rinsing agent in place of Jet Dry or similar product. That can be put in the same reservoir, though.
