Homemade

A while back one of my friends blogged about Homemade Laundry Soap---wow, what a great idea!!  I got the recipe from her, purchased the supplies and made some laundry detergent of my own.  I have been using it and I really like it.  It is dye free, has no fillers, has a slight fragrance, my whites are white, my jeans get cleaned and it only costs about 10 cents a load!

So, a couple of weeks ago when I was filling up the Jet Dry dispenser in my dishwasher, I thought, I wonder if there's Homemade Jet Dry?  That would save me some cash! I thought for a minute and decided that vinegar or rubbing alcohol could be a good alternative (I know, I'm slow).

So the next time the Jet Dry was all used up I dumped rubbing alcohol in the dishwasher.  I didn't like the smell so much, but the dishes came out unspotted.  When that was empty I added white vinegar to the Jet Dry dispenser.  It works too!  But then, today, I had this fabulous idea to google "homemade jet dry" to check to see if there was another proven alternative (I told you I was slow).  And do you know what the recipe was?  You guessed it---White Vinegar!!

Put it to the test! I really works and it is so dang cheap!!

Haha! I knew the white vinegar trick, but I need in on the laundry detergent one. Danielle has been making her own as well, and has had good results too. Maybe I will have to get the recipe from you and compare the two to see if they are the same.
