Please advise me: Can this dishwasher detergent be used for dish washing by HAND? I need a DIY powdered dish washing (by hand) detergent. Any help you can give me is very much appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Hi there! I don’t think this recipe can or should be used for hand washing. Looking into it, I’ve not found a powder recipe though :/ The closest I’ve seen is a dishwashing paste. OTHER COMMENTERS: Have you ever seen a powdered dish soap recipe?

Seeing your update. My recipe is equal parts of everything 1 cup baking soda 1 cup washing soda 1 cup kosher salt 1 cup citric acid -I was getting cloudy dishes when I used my old recipe that had half the citric acid -once I used equal citric acid I stoped having the cloudiness 🤷🏼‍♀️ We also have hard water! I use two tbsp

@@recipeswithrae you could always make a really small bath of different ratios until you get one right! I did that I stated off using 1/4 cup of everything to try a few times now I make in huge batches and sell them to my friends and make my mom a ton! They love it

the most informative (so so effective) video i’ve ever seen, thank you so much 🎉

DIY washing soda (A.K.A. soda ash): put as much baking soda as you want to end up as soda ash into a pan, and set it onto a burner on high. It may seem strange to heat dry powder over high heat, but don't worry - it won't burn. heat and stir until it stops bubbling. The bubbles are just carbon dioxide and water - no toxic vapors. when it stops bubbling, take it off the heat and let cool. Your baking soda has been converted.

I've been trying to look into a more natural way of living and this is super helpful and well made, thank you for your work!

Very interesting video thank you Rae for your information 🤙🤙

I enjoyed your video. Thank you very much. Very thorough and informative

@recipeswithrae thank you for your kind reply. After some trial and error eventually i found the right formula for myself. I live on a small Greek island and we have very hard water here. But eventually after watching so many videos i figured it out. Your video was a great help. Thank you ❤️

Very interesting! Have you made solid dish soap for hand washing dishes?

I will be waiting for patiently for the laundry detergent version of this video

It's clumping bc the salt is drawing out the moisture from the other ingredients like the water in your washing soda.

many of the results will be affected by your water quality. I just moved from one farm to another. I've been spoiled with beautiful soft water for over a decade. I could use almost anything with great success. Now I'm on hard rusty water. I'm slowly trying out different things. First was to put hydrogen peroxide and citric acid instead of jet dry. That got the white film(from the calcium in the water). Next up if figuring out a good recipe that will work with this water for the wash cycle. The store bought powder isn't doing a good job so I have nothing to lose trying out my own recipe. Thanks for your video, it's nice to find someone that already did the research on what each component in the recipe does.

Thank you for watching! I think this is such a good point to remember- your water will affect how well detergents clean. Not every detergent or recipe will work the same for everyone

Someone else in the comment sections said they have hard water and their dishes got clean using equal parts of everything, including citric acid.

I’ve Tried soooo many recipes. They just don’t seem to get my dishes clean 🤦🏼‍♀️ not sure what to do next. Do not want to use chemicals though

When I was a child there were only powders, they where different than the ones we have now. They could be very strong, harsher on some enamels and decor than the current products. Some had a typical chlorine bleach smell, others not. In those days the machines had not yet the soft water salt function they have now. At some point the enzymes improved a bit. Another isuse is European dishwasher then to take in cold water and heat it up in the machine. US made machine tend to take in hot water, it makes a difference. Some ingredients do much better in machines that heat up the water gradually (enzymes). Washing soda on its own will leave a whitish dust unless you find some ingredient to counter act it, I noticed you use a lot of citric acid. Most powders use sodium percarbonate which is the main ingredient in oxybleach. With some ingredients you depend on your machine models ability to rinse thoroughly. I don`t think the commercial powders and detergents use a lot of citric acid, just enough to adjust ph. For hard water areas I think they use zeolite to make the detergent rinse off more easily, and is the ingredient that "makes the dishes dry faster" mentioned in some commercial. Rinse aids absolutely a must in machines, citric acid might work a bit different than vinegar. You can always test up against the commercial formulas since they use more ingredients. When the commercial brands do their job they should be able to make better products and reasonable prices. The challenges they have are issues like water differs from are to area, machine producers may have slightly different cleaning cycles and abilities. They need to make something that works for any condition. Enzymes seems to be a must for lower temperatures and quick cycles. I trust the test laboratories of the large makers along with independent consumer tests. I have not yet figured out what "ionic and non-ionic" surfactant are, but I think they the are similar to lauryl sulphates in liquid hand soaps.

Use white vinegar into the rinse aide part of the dishwasher. Do not use the oil, put the citric acid in the bottom of the washer and white vinegar into the rinse.

Seems impossible to know exactly what is in “jet dry” which makes me think it’s dirt cheap to make yourself if we knew how.

Where would one find the citric acid?

Ah! Do you know why the washing soda doesn't work for you? Maybe the water you have?

Use essential oils if you want to make the recipe WAY more expensive. Lol

They can be pricey! Maybe if you only need a few drops, a friend might be generous and let you have a few out of their stash
