Homemade Dishwasher Soap

When I first made this I wasn't to happy about it, I didn't think it worked and I soon realized that you kinda have to scrape off your dishes before sticking them in the dishwasher. Well I now just wash my dishes by hand because I'm lazy and if I have to wash my dishes before I put them in the dishwasher than why am I using up electricity and water to wash dishes twice. Plus I think my dishwasher is on the fritz anyway lol. So anyhow this is a recipe I found for the dishwasher. Let me know If you have anymore luck with it than I did, but of course mine could also be operator error.

What you need is.
1/2c. Castile soap ( shop around for this because this can get spendy in certain places.)
1/2c. Water
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
3 drops of tea tree essence oil
1/4c white vinegar
Baking soda

Add everything together except for the baking soda. I put mine in a jar with a lid ( one way to recycle) and use 1Tb in the first cycle and 1 Tb in the other side. Take a handful of baking soda and sprinkle over your dishes and in the bottom to help the cleaning process and to get rid of odors. Feel free to comment on this.
