Dish washer sauce

Add the (completely powdered, LUMP FREE) arm & hammer washing soda, a little at a time, giving it a chance to dissolve, or it will overflow causing a Mess. Do not use baking soda, it will NOT work. Put the lid on the jar, make sure that it is seated properly so it won't leak and screw the band on tightly. Shake vigorously to blend all of the ingredients well.
INVERT THE JAR. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP or you will have a solid block at the bottom of your jar that you CANNOT get out and be sure to Follow the directions COMPLETELY. DO NOT LEAVE THIS OVERNIGHT, it must be whipped during the time frame stated or it will turn into a solid chunk which WILL Break your Jar.
Tired of shelling out $6-15 a month for chemical laden Liquid Dishwashing detergent? I was too, so I created Mom's Super Dishwasher Sauce, a super concentrated Dishwasher safe* dishwasher liquid that actually works and it handles 64 loads of dishes for less than .02¢ per Load, and does NOT leave a film on your dishes, maybe I should seriously call it Awesomesauce!
While several of our other dish washing soap recipes call for Borax, You'll notice that this recipe doesn't. Many of our website guests and members were leery about using Borax on their dishes, for fear that it wouldn't wash away completely or that it was leaving frosty/cloudy dishes in the their dishwasher. If you prefer a dry detergent, there are links to those dishwasher recipes at the bottom of this page.
While this recipe is pretty simple and doesn't require cooking of any kind, it does require that you follow the directions completely, or it won't come out properly. (Trust me, I made 13 batches of homemade dishwashing soaps before I finally perfected this one. So, take advantage of my willingness to trash my own kitchen in the name of DIY & MYO!)
You'll Need:
3 Cups of Water (dry cup measure, Not liquid measure)
1 1/4 c. Arm & Hammer Washing Soda DO NOT SUBSTITUTE - make sure it doesn't have ANY LUMPS.
3 Tbs Bronners Liquid Castile Soap (Peppermint is nice!) DO NOT SUBSTITUTE with other Castile Soaps- they are NOT the same
Regular Quart Mason Jar with a Lid (NOT a wide-mouth jar) DO NOT USE A LARGER JAR.
