Put the vinegar in your Finish Rinse Aid compartment and you can put a Tbsp in the bottom of your dishwasher instead of in the detergent compartment. It'll save you the spillage and do the same job. :)
@@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.
I'll be trying this. I make my own laundry soap by the 5 gal bucket and save a bunch of money. Now I am looking to make my own dishwasher liquid. Thank you! God bless
Thank you! This is exactly what was looking for. Everything I found called for stuff I didn't have. I'm going to try it. And I ran out of pods too! Lol! I'm sick of using toxic detergent on my dishes.
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!!
This worked amazing. I also ball up foil on the bottom and top rackin my dishwasher. My dishes come out sparkling clean. I also use rinseaid just so I dont have water spots. Thank you for this !!! Saves a ton of $$$$$$$$
Thanks much for your time. I'll try this. I did do just that. I couldn't really believe it...the dishes were just as clean as with the pods. I poured in about a good tablespoon of baking soda inside the compartment...then added about 10 drops of natural dish soap/unscented....then poured about 2 tablespoons of vinegar in with it. Prior to filling the compartment, I would add about a teaspoon of the soda and vinegar with 3 drops of soap with pre-wash. *Caution: Be careful with the soap. To much and it'll create excess foam thus starving the pump inside of water making it more susceptible to burn out. **Another tip. Run the hot water from your faucet first before starting the washer.
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.
Trying this right now! Been hand washing my dishes because the dishwasher pods are so expensive where I live! But I always have all these ingredients on hand.
First time seeing your video and formula. Tried it and it worked GREAT! Clean, streak free cant ask for more than that. AND PS-I had those very same curtains in my kitchen😊
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you I ran out and I didn’t want to wash a whole load a whole sing for you are a gem❤
Here's a better recipe.... Mix 1-1/2 cups of citric acid with 1/2 cup baking soda. Add 1-1/2 cups of washing soda (found in the cleaning supply isle of grocery store) and add 1/2 cup of large grain salt (like kosher). Mix it up good, and use one tablespoon per load for...... *DISHWASHER SOAP!* That reaction coupled with the large grains of salt acts as little scrubbing pads. Cleans dirty dishes better than ANYTHING you can buy. Including 'Cascade Plus'. *You're welcome!* 😉
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.
Well I just happen 2 have a full dishwasher n no detergent so looks like I will b trying this. I don't use pods in my dishwasher or my washing machine because they don't actually completely dissolve n can cause problems over time. Thanks 4 the video. Ur video was the 1st 2 pop up so that's what I'm going with lol
@@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.
For 5$ you can buy a bottle of cascade gel, and leaves everything sparkly. And smells SO GOOD, instead of gross smelling vinegar. Plus you can portion the gel for pre rinse and main wash to the kind of load you have. Plus no chlorine, they are sold in the white or dark green bottles.
@@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…
@@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
I don't think the vinegar is doing much for you. Most commercial dish powders are mostly sodium carbonate (washing soda), which is very similar to just baking soda. By adding the vinegar, you are neutralizing the baking soda and basically just making salt.
@@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
Trying this now. It’s Christmas Day and I have a lot of baking to do and dishes that didn’t get washed last night because we forgot to pick up detergent…. 😬
_After careful consideration I've come up with the best possible do-it-yourself dishwasher cleaner._ *THE WOMAN YOU MARRIED.. A PAIR OF RUBBER GLOVES, & A BULL WHIP!*
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.
Be careful with the Dawn just a few drops causje the Dawn well any dish soap will soap up like crazy and come out of every crack it can find on the machine 😂😂. It does work though and the vinegar is what prevents the water spots
You ran out of dishwasher tablets. Man what are you gonna do? I have a solution for you. Put 3 drops in the dishwasher soap slot fill it the rest of the way with baking soda
Any ideas on how to keep sterling silverware or silverplate ware from tarnishing in the dishwasher? I have tried countless “solutions“ on this but it still tarnishes, even after separating the silver from the stainless. There’s always going be stainless utensils and cutlery to put into the dishwasher But I would like to be able to use my sterling and silver plate ware. I can’t run a separate load just for them.

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.

@@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.

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....
Works for me. A male, 67.
We have soft water, so we use two table spoons of baking soda. But we use the vinegar for the risen agent.
These are the ingredients I was wishing I could use. All of the other videos called for a lot of ingredients that I don't have. Thanks!
Put the vinegar in your Finish Rinse Aid compartment and you can put a Tbsp in the bottom of your dishwasher instead of in the detergent compartment. It'll save you the spillage and do the same job. :)
I Normally use vinegar in my rinse compartment anyways. I will definitely try this hack out, thanks for sharing!
Perfect!
I just ran out of Pods!
Evidently…. I don’t need to get more!
Thank You very very much! This is a wonderful formula!
I just put 2-3 drops of Dawn in mine and have never had a problem. In fact, it works better than powder (fewer spots and streaks).
So just dawn and no baking soda or vinegar?

i feel like just using a tiny bit of the dish detergent would work fine, that is the primary cleaning ingredient after all
That little reaction is vinegar and baking soda neutralizing each other before you even close the detergent compartment.
I've always heard vinegar will make rubber/plastic seals and gaskets in the dishwasher crack over time. There are many internal gaskets and seals.
