How do I use Castile soap to make homemade liquid dishwasher detergent?
Get StartedFind a bottle before you create your handmade dishwasher soap. Reusing your last dish soap or liquid dishwasher soap container works best. You will also need a funnel to easily pour your mixture into the bottle.Mix It UpAdd a 1:1 ratio of liquid Castile soap to water in a bottle. For instance, to make 2 cups dishwasher soap, use 1 cup liquid Castile soap and 1 cup water. If scent is desired, use 1 drop per cup of essential oil. Essential oils such as lemon, lavender, orange, tea tree and pine contain antiseptic and disinfectant properties. Just 1 tbsp. will clean one load of dishes; however, you can use up to 2 tbsp.
