Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

UPDATE:  This needs a booster to remove a film on white and clear dishes. This works but not as well as the commercial stuff. Any ideas out there?

Mix two cups borax and two cups baking soda inside a glass container and placed it near the sink. Add 3 tablespoons to the wash cycle, two to the main compartment and one to the prewash.

Vinegar or vodka added to the rinse compartment improves the final results. 

Drain Freshener

We use the same concoction as shown above for the dishwasher. Half borax and half baking soda.

Teeth Whitener

Banana peel pith. Take the inside section of a banana peel and gently rub on your teeth. We will try this and take some beautiful pictures for you. Maybe even a video!
