Homemade dishwasher rinse aid

homemade rinseNot all dishwasher owners like to use pills. On the one hand, this is convenient, because the tablet contains a dishwashing detergent, salt and rinse aid, but on the other hand it is expensive. To save money, some people buy dishwashing detergent and a separate rinse aid, while others go further and make a rinse aid for the dishwasher with their own hands. About what you can make a home rinse and how to make it, is described in this publication.

Components for Home Remedies

There are a great many recipes for home rinses for PMM and each of the recipes has its advantages and disadvantages. You will choose this or that recipe yourself, but first let me warn you against the use of certain components that may harm your health and harm the parts of the dishwasher.

  1. Do not prepare rinses based on hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. There are several recipes on the Web based on such components, but you do not need to pay attention to them. Acids are very aggressive on some parts of the dishwasher, in addition, they spoil dishes made of stainless steel, silver or plastic.
  2. It is not necessary to implement recipes based on alkalis, since alkali is no less dangerous than acid. In addition, alkaline rinses are poorly stored.
  3. It is not worth making funds based on vinegar essences. 70% vinegar can only be used in diluted form to a concentration of no higher than 9%. Otherwise, on the basis of the essence, contrary to expectations, will leave a persistent unpleasant odor on the dishes. And how it will smell from the washing chamber of the dishwasher, you better not feel it.

Rinse recipes based on 9% vinegar will be presented below.

On citrus juice

The first rinse aid recipe, which we will consider today, will be made on the basis of natural citrus juice. Such a tool is nice to make and no less nice to use. It becomes so.

  1. We take half a glass of lemon juice (it is best suited).
  2. Mix the juice with four tablespoons of glycerin.
  3. Add 10 drops of orange essential oil to the mixture.

We mix all the above components and pour the mixture into an opaque container. For 12 sets of dishes, you need to add only one tablespoon of rinse aid. Pour the product into the dishwasher's air conditioning compartment. The effect of this rinse is amazing. A light citrus aroma will come from the dishes, and from the washing chamber of the dishwasher it will smell like lemons and oranges.

On balsamic vinegar

One of the best home rinses for dishwashers is considered to be a product based on balsamic vinegar. How to make such a tool? First, you need to take 200 g of balsamic vinegar and add a teaspoon of peppermint essential oil to it. Secondly, you need to fix the composition by adding 30 g of glycerin to it. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and you will get an excellent rinse.

Instead of balsamic, you can take 9% apple cider vinegar, but the effect will be slightly worse.

Such a tool is consumed sparingly, about 20 g per 10 place settings. For those who do not like peppermint essential oil, you can take orange or fir to choose from. From the dishes will come a light aroma of the essential oil of your choice.
