Me too..outta money

I make my own powder detergent and I love saving the money that I was spending every month!

Can you link the recipe. Thank you

So just dawn and no baking soda or vinegar?

@@jmx1270 Yep. Baking soda and vinegar neutralize each other and provide no benefit. In fact, I can get away with cheaper liquid detergents than Dawn because the machine's action maximizes its effect. If anyone ever has had a problem with using liquid detergent in their machine its because they used too much. No more than a tiny squirt is needed.

@@devekut2 Thanks, much appreciated

@@devekut2 Thanks a lot, God Bless you

Which of the compartments do you put the dawn in?

Does the foil get bounced around and kind of ‘scrub’ dishes?? I’ve never heard of doing this.

Thanks for sharing it. I hope they find it useful!

Glad it worked well. I’m gonna have to get some lemon essential oil. I’m gonna try to make some homemade pods soon. Doing a little experimenting first!!

Lemon essential oil sounds like a perfect idea.

Just make sure it’s 100% lemon EO and NOT one for fragrance ❤

I’m super excited when I wake up each morning and I have new subscribers. Thanks for being one of my first! Happy New Year!

Hope you like it!!

Legend says her dishwasher is still running

@@QuietPills lol

Did it work for you? Dishwasher liquid soap just makes the dishwasher leak suds.

@@thunderthumbz3293 Try reducing the amount of dishwashing liquid

Did you actually hook your dishwasher up to the hot water line?? I don't understand the "run your hot water first" line at all. Bizarre.

@@AgeofReason Dishwashers are hooked up to HOT water only.

@@AgeofReason it's supposed to be hooked to the hot water line

You run the hot water in the sink Until it comes out hot that way when the dishwasher starts The water is already Warm or hot thus cleaning the dishes more effectively. If you didn't do this then the water will be cold at first until it gets to the dishwasher.

Thanks!

It’s just one of those sayings us country folks say! I have no clue where I got it from!

Do not use salt on fine china! It scares it.

@@janellkunkle5169 Good tip. But I don't own any.

I read on a site called mommypotamus that mixing citric acid with washing or baking soda will cancel out the sodas' cleaning power because of the acidic nature of citric acid. Her formula was just washing soda for detergent and vinegar or citric acid for rinse aid. Any thoughts?

@@Zashmirnot sure if this is true or not. If it were true then I don’t know how some plant based soap stores/brands are lucratively selling their laundry soaps that have some of the main base ingredients as washing soda, citric acid. This company called buffcitysoap that I know uses washing soda, citric acid, coconut soap, that they make, and fragrance as a base for their main laundry detergent. It seems to work well to me, but again, don’t know how well it’s actually cleaning (didn’t test it in a lab), but smells good… I used it for a while. Anybody know any thoughts about washing soda and citric acid as well? Is the above blog she mentioned saying the truth or not? I’d like to know as well.

The salt will not add any scrubbing at all, it will dissolve almost immediately.

Where ever you want. It cuts grease too. So you could put it in soap compartment. And also in rinse as it breaks up hard water.

Thank you for watching. Hope you enjoyed.

Check the wash cycle you are running on. If it's a fast wash, try a slightly longer cycle. Or reduce the amount of baking soda. Long ago they didn't have dish soap. They washed with warm or cold water and a rag to move food residue off of utensils. Research if you like and see what else they might have used.

@@jsks8919 why don’t you test the idea with rubber bands and any elastic materials you have around? What you heard sounds like typical social media nonsense.

Originally, my dad told me not to use vinegar. It was before social media. He had a small appliance shop in the 1980s. He sold dishwashers, too. Maybe he read it in some nonsense magazine subscriptions. Let me know how your testing goes.

Yes.

You don’t need it

Take a big pot,put aluminium foil and put it inside (not shiny side) put your silver dishes and pour ton of baking soda all over it. Pour boiling water over it. Let it work and also rub dishes gently over aluminium foil and tarnish will completly go away. Silver tarnish by time so it needs this cleaning from time to time. This way u can also clean silver and gold.jewlery aswell without damaging 🙂

@@biba3025 when you say “not shiny side” do you mean to face the shiny side down and rub the silver against the non-shiny side? Thanks for your help.

@@jolowe7047 yes exactly. You are welcome 😊

@@biba3025 But it seems that silver tarnishes each time you put it in the dishwasher, even after separating the stainless from silver plate and from sterling - like a chemical reaction that causes it. Unfortunate because it keeps me from wanting to use it. I’ve been looking for some tried and true solution to this problem for years - short of running the silver on its own cycle or hand washing :(

@@jolowe7047 Do not wash silver in a dishwasher. Dry it immediately after u wash it. Silver tarnish faster when it touches water and esp in dishwasher on high temperatures. Do this and when tarnish do the cleaning method i said above.

I have tried without and came out good

That gel shit does not work

@@parrisestatessouthernhomec3246 Are you using the chlorinated version or not because otherwise you’re doing something wrong or you need to clean your dishwasher on empty hot cycle or your dishwasher is lacking performance and needs to be looked at

@@parrisestatessouthernhomec3246 I have used the Complete gel in the pine green bottles for over a decade in a variety of older, and brand new dishwashers. Works perfectly every time. It’s an operator error for you…

That shit doesn't work

@@AgeofReason You must not be able to use it correctly or you have a very dirty scummy dishwasher. I’ve tried this in every machine you could imagine, in both soft and completely untreated hard water and I get the best results each time. Can’t sell that one

The vinegar should only be used when cleaning glass wear. It helps create a better 'rinse' so they come out sparkling.

Sooo I can do this without vinegar and will it still come out clean???

@@SasukeUchiha-dq8oq if you have soft water, just use soap + baking soda, if you have hard water, just use soap + vinager. Either way don’t use too much soap.

You should replace the rinse aid (liquid jet dry) with the vinegar. Just fill the rinse aid dispenser with vinegar. It will dispense in the last rinse cycle and won’t react with the baking soda.

The vinegar, however, cuts through the grease and grime and probably is what gives that shine she’s talking about. And it may also help it to dry faster too

I already had some rinse aid in my dishwasher compartment.

So you DO need rinse aid as well? Is it necessary? I’ve never heard of it? Is it a liquid?

Maybe your not supposed to🤷🏻‍♂️

@@JetPlays1 why?...............actually I see others doing it..............your not supposed to put baking soda and vinegar at the same time...............as their cleaning effects cancel each other............let baking soda do the cleaning first..................then the machine dispenses the vinegar from your rinse aid container .........to remove the spots (during the last cycle.............after baking soda has done its thiing)..............it just so happened that in this video.........there was more baking soda than the acid can neutralized...............thats why it was still able to clean the dishes

@@erwinoliverfundador7067 ok, i was not saying I knew. So In that case I don’t know why

Vinegar can be used as a rinse aid. I have no idea why anyone would do this, it smells so absolutely disgusting. Just use finish jet dry and be done with it....

@@JetPlays1 Yes it’s supposed to go there vinegar can be used as rinse aid, which is disgusting cause it smells awful.
