Thursday Tutorials--DIY Dishwasher Soap

I found this tutorial at DIY Natural earlier this week, and I made it on Monday. So far, every load of dishes that I've cleaned in the dishwasher this week has been clean and spotless. I'm so impressed! Check it out for yourself here:

Inspiration Tuesday--DIY Living

I've read so many blog posts lately on ways to make your own cleaning products, do it yourself (DIY) crafts/ gifts, etc., and I truly am inspired to do more at home this year. I even made my own dishwasher soap today, and it worked fabulously! I'll share that tutorial on Thursday of this week, but it came from this blog:
http://www.diynatural.com/

They include easy to follow DIY tutorials on everything from making your own deodorant, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, and even your own hairspray! I personally am inspired to try the homemade natural mouthwash soon.
