    VINEGAR-DO NOT MIX THE FOLLOWING! Downside of using Vinegar in DIY cleaning productsDid you know that vinegar needs at least five minutes for killing bacteria and 30 minutes for viruses?

    Let’s Learn How to make your own dishwasher rinse aid at home!

    April 16, 2024 - By Jeannette

    Making your own dishwasher rinse aid at home is really simple. You only need a few ingredients to make this diy rinse aid over and over again. I have been using it for several years, and it has shown to be really effective, especially since I moved out to the country with well water and a water softener. I also use a natural dishwasher detergent, that I buy at my local grocery store, but since moving to the country I’m tempted to try some diy dishwasher detergent too! I’ll keep you posted!

Here is the recipe that I am currently loving! 1 cup of filtered water 1/4 cup of white vinegar 2 tablespoons of olive oil or avocado oil 5-10 drops of Lemon Essential oil 5-10 drops of Pine Essential oil Pour all…
