Homemade Dishwasher Tabs... (and my last post for today)

Wow, I really feel like I wasted my weekend doing nothing. But as I update the blog I am realizing I did accomplish a few things. I just didn't accomplish everything I set out to do.

Guess where I found this recipe....

You got it! Pinterest as well.

I followed the links to the original post Here.

I used the original recipe:

• 1 cup Borax
• 1 cup Washing Soda
• 1/4 Epsom Salt
• Lemon Juice

Mix the first 3 ingredients together in a bowl.

Scoop out 1 cup of mixture into a separate bowl.

Add enough lemon juice to make mixture sticky enough to form. I used 4 Tbsp.

Scoop into anything that you have to form small tablets or cubes.

(I used a mini muffin pan)

You will need to set them out to "dry." I put them next to an open window and a fan. It only took a few hours.

Once they are dry POP them out and place them in a airtight container. I say POP because for me this was more like: Bang the pan on the counter until they come flying out then use a butter knife to pry the last two out.

The finished product. They are pretty cute if I do say so myself. ;)

My son is doing the dishes as I type this and I can't wait to pop one of these babies in and see how the dishes come out. 

Have I told you how much of a nerd I am? LOL
