Making Homemade Dishwashing Liquid with 100% Natural Ingredients
Here are some simple recipes for making 100% natural homemade dishwashing liquid that you can easily apply.
Lemon and Vinegar Dishwashing Liquid
Lemon has natural acidity, which helps to remove grease and stains, while white vinegar effectively neutralizes odors and kills bacteria. Salt enhances the cleaning and antibacterial properties of the solution.
Ingredients needed:
Fresh lemons: 3-4 fruits Water: 500ml White vinegar: 1 cup Salt: 1/2 cupFirst, wash the lemons to remove dirt, then slice them thinly to release the essential oils. Place all the sliced lemons into a pot with water, vinegar, and salt, then bring to a boil for about 10-15 minutes, stirring well to dissolve the salt completely. After the water boils, reduce the heat and simmer for another 20 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly, then turn off the heat.
Let the mixture cool down a bit, then strain through a sieve to remove the lemon pulp and collect the clear liquid. Allow the liquid to cool, then pour it into a bottle and store it in a cool place for later use.

Then, place everything into a pot, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 40-50 minutes before turning off the heat and letting it cool.
Once the mixture has cooled, strain the liquid. You can add a little baking soda to increase its cleaning power. Pour the solution into a bottle and store it in the fridge for later use.
