Dishwasher Soap That Doesn't Fail You with Streaks, Promise!

I have ventured out and tried several dishwasher soaps and was consistantly let down with dishes coming out foggy or streaky (is that even a word lol).

I found this recipe and have been using it for around a month now and am pleasantly pleased on how it works.

Materials:

1 box Borax
1 box of Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda
24 packets of unsweetened lemonade (Kool-aid type, but I buy Wal-Mart brand) or Citric Acid
3 cups of Epson Salt
1 container of granular Lemi-Shine (Wal-Mart sells it next to the dishwasher rinse aids)
1 Large storage container(I have an extra large one but I believe a Gallon container would hold it all.

Instructions:

Mix all of these ingredients together well and store in an air tight container. Now, I have found that if it is not an air tight container you may need to 2-4 saltine crackers in the top to absorb the moisture from the container. If you don't, the mixture will become solid and hard to spoon out.

To use:

Sprinkle a little Lemi Shine in the pre-wash and wash areas of the dishwasher and add one tablespoon of mixture to the wash bin. If it is a extra dirty load add the same amount to the pre-wash bin.

Enjoy!

I believe this came from a website that was referenced on pinterest lately, even though I have had it longer than I have been addicted, yes addicted, to Pinterest  :)
