Live on Less and One Good Thing by Jillee are two of my favorite DIY blogs. I've made laundry soap from One Good Thing and dishwasher soap from Live on Less.
Dishwasher soap-adapted from Live on Less
1 box Borax
1 box Arm & Hammer washing soda (at Walmart, both are next to each other in the laundry soap isle; both are used to make laundry soap as well)
3 canning salt
1 container of unsweetened lemonade Kool-Aid (acts as the citric acid)
The recipe can be cut down or increased. I used the whole box of borax and washing soda plus a whole container of the unsweetened lemonade and 3 cups of salt. Mix all ingredients together and store in an air tight container. To use put one tablespoon in latched compartment and 1 tablespoon in the bottom of the dishwasher. I have found that adding a drop of Dawn dish soap to the dishwasher helps bring the grease off and that adding 1/4 cup of vinegar during the rinse cycle cuts down on cloudy glasses.
