Natural Dishwasher Cleaner

Forget those expensive dishwasher cleaners! This is a great tip for a natural way to keep your dishwasher looking sparkling and smelling fresh.

Empty your dishwasher of all items. Then add 3 tablespoons of citric acid to the detergent dispenser (or as much as will fit if it’s small) and 4 drops of Lemon essential oil. Run your dishwasher on a short, hot cycle and let their natural cleaning abilities shine. Citric acid is an excellent disinfectant and deodoriser, it also contains d’limonene, a great natural solvent which will cut through grease and grime while still being gentle on the inside of your machine. The lemon oil will act in a similar way, killing germs and removing dirt while at the same time leaving behind a lovely fresh smell.

Doing this once a month is a cheap, eco-friendly way of ensuring that your dishwasher will clean better, last longer and remain a germ free zone.
