Dishwashing Tablets

Borax free Dishwashing tablets

Initially when I started with making these tablets, I used Borax. Then I started reading about if Borax is safe or not. Here is the link you can read about it. After reading about it, I decided its safe to ignore it.

      5. Let it dry overnight or for a day

      6. Take it out.

** Imp: Along with this you need to put about 2 drops of normal dishwashing liquid.

Also its good to use some vinegar in the ‘rinse aid’ compartment which acts as a rinse agent. Other thing you can do is keep a small cup of vinegar in the top compartment of your dishwasher.
