DIY Dishwashing Powder

An oxygen-based powder for automatic dishwashers

Yield 500 g  ·  Difficulty Beginner  ·  Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 250 g Organic Sodium Percarbonate
  • 150 g Washing Soda
  • 100 g Citric Acid (Anhydrous)
  • 20 drops Lift Essential Oil Blend (optional)

Method

  1. Ensure all equipment and the storage container are completely dry.
  2. Weigh each ingredient separately.
  3. Combine Sodium Percarbonate and Washing Soda in a large mixing bowl. Stir well.
  4. Add the Citric Acid and stir quickly; a mild reaction is normal.
  5. Add Essential Oil immediately and mix through.
  6. Transfer to a clean, dry airtight jar. Label with product name, date made, and ‘Keep dry’.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Dry spatula
  • Digital scales
  • Airtight jar or container

How to use

Use 1–2 tablespoons per load depending on water hardness. Add white vinegar to the rinse aid compartment for a spot-free finish. Keep completely dry between uses.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Any moisture will cause premature activation. Use within 6 months.

Safety

Keep all equipment completely dry; Sodium Percarbonate activates on contact with moisture. Do not inhale powder during mixing. Keep out of reach of children.
