Here is a homemade dishwashing detergent recipe submitted by a reader.

Leanne says:

I make my own homemade dishwashing liquid to hand wash my dishes.

It works really well, and I can choose whatever scent I want using various essential oils.

That way I can change it up whenever I get bored with one scent and want a new one.

I also like that it is all natural.

Here's the recipe:

3 tablespoons liquid castile soap (I use Dr. Bronner's)
2 cups hot water
2 teaspoons glycerin
10 drops of essential oil

You just add all the ingredients into a squeeze bottle and shake them all up. Then, I use it to wash my dishes like I would any other dish soap.

Thanks Leanne for sharing this homemade dishwashing detergent recipe.

I would love it if you shared your favorite essential oils that you use in your soap, perhaps in the comments. I have some of my favorite blends listed in my essential oil recipes for cleaning products article, but there are so many great blends I always love to learn about more. (If any readers have a favorite blend you can share your favorite essential oil uses and blends here for around your home.)

Everyone can also see even more homemade dish soap recipes here.
