Dishwasher detergent can get expensive. Homemade dishwasher detergent is cost-effective and often works better than store brands. Simply mix one cup of borax, one cup of baking soda, one-half cup of kosher salt and 15 packets of unsweetened lemon- or orange-flavored drink mix. Store the mixture in a container with a tight lid and shake before each use. Use one tablespoon of detergent for each load. To prevent cloudiness, add white vinegar to the dishwasher's rinse-aid compartment.
