Last year I was watching a segment on the Today Show about dishwashers. (I was on maternity leave and had already watched everything in my DVR.) The lady on the show had suggested that most of us use far too much dishwasher detergent. She suggested reading the owners manual to see what the recommended usage was. Because my dishwasher was relatively new, I still had my manual. To my surprise I learned that I only needed to use 2tbsp of soap per wash. My dishwasher dispenser holds 4tbsp. I am able to save 50% on my dishwasher detergent.
Bonus Tip: I will soon publish my recipe for homemade dishwasher detergent. Stay tuned!
