Dishwasher Tabs (Natural Citrus)

Natural Citrus Dishwasher Tabs made with baking soda, washing soda, Epsom salt, vinegar, and essential oils provide a safe and eco-friendly alternative to conventional detergents. Baking soda and washing soda work together to cut through grease, lift food residue, and neutralize odors, while Epsom salt helps soften water to prevent spotting and mineral buildup on dishes. Essential oils, such as lemon or sweet orange add a fresh scent and mild antibacterial properties, enhancing the cleaning power naturally. Vinegar, often used as a rinse aid, helps reduce streaks and leaves glassware sparkling. These tabs are not only effective at delivering a deep clean but also reduce exposure to harsh chemicals, making them a healthier choice for both the home and the environment.

Ingredients and Benefits:

• Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate): Acts as a gentle abrasive and deodorizer. It helps break down grease and neutralize odors.

• Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate): Much stronger than baking soda, it boosts cleaning power by cutting through tough grease and lifting food residues.

• Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate): Mainly helps soften water. Hard water can leave spots on glassware, so this ingredient reduces mineral buildup.

• Vinegar: Provides natural acidity that helps cut grease and acts as a rinse aid to reduce streaks and spots. (Usually added separately in the rinse compartment, as direct contact in the mix can cause fizzing during storage).

• Essential Oils (e.g., lemon & sweet orange): Provide mild antibacterial properties and leave a fresh scent. Citrus oils in particular also help degrease.
