HOMEMADE DISHWASH LIQUID

How to Make Easy Natural homemade Dishwash Liquid at Home

As someone who loves natural, homemade solutions, I recently experimented with making my own dishwash liquid.

After trying several methods, I finally found a recipe that works beautifully. I’ve been using it ever since, and I’m excited to share it with you! It’s cost-effective, safe for your health, and eco-friendly.

Let’s dive into it!

Ingredients for the homemade Dishwash Liquid

Ingredient	Purpose	Where to Buy
Soap nuts (Reetha)	Natural soap with cleansing properties (Saponin)	Available online (SLF brand is great)
Lemon/Orange Peels	Adds fragrance and extra cleaning power	Collect and dry at home
Sea Salt	Acts as a preservative	Grocery stores/online
White Vinegar	Cleaning agent and preservative	Grocery stores/online

Step-by-Step Procedure to Make homemade Dishwash Liquid

1. Soak the Soap Nuts and the citric peels

Soak 10-12 soap nuts overnight in water. This softens them for better extraction

Boil with Peels

The next day, boil the soaked soap nuts with 10-15 lemon or orange peels for 20-25 minutes. This will extract the cleaning power from both the soap nuts and citrus peels

Cool and Grind

Let the mixture cool, then grind it in a blender. If the mixture seems too thick, add a little water

Strain and Mix

Strain the mixture to remove solid bits. Add 1 small bowl of white vinegar and 1 bowl of sea salt. Mix thoroughly

Cook the Mixture

Cook this mixture for an additional 10-12 minutes to ensure it blends well and thickens slightly

Transfer to Bottles

Let it cool completely and transfer to bottles for storage

And voilà! Your natural dishwashing liquid is ready for use

Why These Ingredients?

Ingredient	Function
Soap Nuts (Reetha)	Contain saponins, which act like soap and have great cleaning properties while being gentle on skin
Lemon/Orange Peels	Add a fresh, natural scent and some extra cleaning power, thanks to citric acid
White Vinegar	A natural cleaner and preservative that helps cut through grease
Sea Salt	Works as a preservative and mildly abrasive cleaning agent

How to Use the Dishwash Liquid

This dishwash liquid doesn’t foam like conventional detergents, but don’t let that fool you—it cleans just as effectively!

For dishwashing, dilute the liquid:

Take about ¼ of the homemade liquid in a 1-liter bottle, and fill the rest with water

If you prefer more foam, you can add a spoonful of any mild liquid soap, though this is entirely optional

This mixture works wonderfully for cleaning dishes, as well as wiping down kitchen counters and stovetops. The lemon, vinegar, and soap nuts cut through grease and grime effectively
