I’m going to show you how to make your very own Dishwasher Tablets! You’ll be amazed at how easy these are to make. Best of all, these DIY dishwasher tablets use only three ingredients that you probably already have on hand!
I absolutely love making my own household products! Not only are they saving me a huge amount of money, but I get to choose exactly what I use in my products.
You don’t realize how fast the cost adds up with the small things, such as dishwasher tablets, that you toss in your shopping cart. Save some money and try making your own dishwasher tablets with this recipe!
You’ll need:
First, grab a small bowl and pour in your borax and arm & hammer powder and mix it together using a fork.
Then pour in your lemon juice and quickly stir all the power and lemon juice together to form a wet sand consistency.
While the mixture is still moist spoon into your mini muffin pans and press down firmly. Allow the tablets to dry for 10 minutes and then remove from the pan.
Pop one into your dishwasher tablet dispenser and run cycle like normal. Enjoy sparkling, clean dishes for a fraction of the cost!

I was thinking of using Finish instead of lemon juice, what do you think??
Store the rest in an airtight container!
I made these today and they did not stay together. I ended up using 4 Tbsp lemon juice because it wasn't quite a wet enough consistency. Any advice to get them to stay together next time? Also, how do you store them? Thanks!
I've thought about making my own dishwasher tablets. I'll have to try this!
I am going to have to try these (I really love my Finish, though). ;-)
I've tried making my own dishwasher tabs before, and was unimpressed. This recipe is different -- so you've convinced me to try again!
Those are great! Thanks!
How did you store the rest of the soap tablets?
