Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

There are so many different recipes out there but this is the one I decided to try out.  
 
 

 
1Cup Borax
1 Cup Washing Soda
1/2 Cup Kosher Salt
1/2 Cup Citric Acid
 
(You can use "Fresh Fruit" produce protector (found in the canning isle)...or 15 packets of unsweetened Lemon flavored KoolAid/Wylers (which has lots of citric acid) the citric acid keeps the dishes from building up a cloudy residue)
*Put all ingredients into a container with a tight fitting lid, and shake it up
*Use about 1 TB per load
**DON'T FORGET- Pour some white vinegar into the "rinse aid" compartment of your dishwasher. This will help to keep your dishes from having a "cloudy" look!
