The dishwasher saves us a lot of time. By preparing your own dishwasher cubes, you can also save money and take care of the environment and your health. What’s more, we will make them from just a few ingredients, most of which we already have at home. We show you how to make dishwasher tablets.
Dishwasher tablets available in stores, although they are very effective, however, their effectiveness is based on the use of substances such as phosphates, formaldehydes, petroleum derivatives and chemical compounds containing chlorine.
These are ingredients that not only have a negative impact on the ecosystem, but may also adversely affect our health. When the dishwasher is operational and effectively removes detergent residues, the risk of transferring these substances to the dishes is very small. Whereas If our device does not properly rinse the residues, it may lead to contact of chemical ingredients with food.
Therefore, it is worth trying homemade dishwasher cubes that you can prepare yourself. They are not only effective, but also cheaper and, above all, much healthier. It’s not difficult to make them.

To prepare homemade dishwasher cubes, we will need ingredients most of which we already have in our home. Even if not, we can easily buy all of these in many stores and at low prices. The ingredients we need include: baking soda, citric acid, fine-grained salt and, optionally, essential oil with a pleasant scent.
The first step is to mix half a glass of tap water with half a glass of salt and one glass of baking soda. Add another quarter of a glass of citric acid and Optionally, add a few drops of natural oil, which will give the tablets a nice aroma.
Mix everything thoroughly and put into a silicone mold with holes for ice. Leave it there for a few hours until the tablets become hard and dry. Then we can safely use homemade dishwasher cubes. However, remember that sometimes they may be more gentle than their chemical counterparts, so it is worth rinsing heavily soiled dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
