I used about 1/4 cup Dr Bronners in a 16 oz container and about 1 Tbsp vinegar with a dash of tea tree oil and then filled the rest of the spray bottle with water. No, I don’t have an exact recipe.

Was just wondering if you had an "exact" recipe for dishwashing soap. Dr. Bronner's, vinegar, water and tea tree oil. How much of each? Thanks so much. Love your website and all the websites you recommend! Hello! Was just wondering if you had an “exact” recipe for dishwashing soap. Dr. Bronner’s, vinegar, water and tea tree oil. How much of each?

When I tried the dishwasher detergent, my kept coming out scummy too. I'll try the non-chlorine bleach powder. I've been trying the laundry detergent just as the recipe says, and I've had nothing but good results. I haven't tried it on kids clothes though...that might be the TRUE test! :).

I used half bronner's tea tree and half bronners peppermint because it's what I had - since there was already teatree in my soap, I only added 1 drop of teatree oil... I didn't use it right away and I shook it everytime I passed by it (it sat on the counter for a week...) and it seemed to change consistency as it got more mixed together. I definately recommend like a pop-top bottle (like bicycle water bottles...) and make SURE to shake because it seperates a little. But was gentler on the hands than regular dawn dishsoap and the glassware came out shinier (both in handwashing and the dishwasher). 2 cups liquid castille soap 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 3 drops tea tree oil 1/2 cup white vinegar Method: stir all ingredients together until blended. Store in a squirt top bottle. Use 2 tablespoons per load of dishes, shake well before use. I found this recipe a while ago and have found it very useful.
