Do-it-yourself liquid and gel detergents for dishes

A few years ago, housewives enjoyed using household chemicals in the struggle for the cleanliness of dishes, without thinking about the composition of such an effective product and its effect on the body. Today, people are trying in every possible way to protect themselves from the effects of negative factors, therefore they increasingly prefer to prepare a detergent for dishes with their own hands. It can be a soft gel and a very active liquid, which are based on laundry or baby soap, mustard, soda, essential oils, vodka, glycerin and much more. Practice shows that in terms of effectiveness, such drugs even surpass their finished analogues, but a natural remedy may have several disadvantages.

Advantages and weaknesses of homemade mixtures

Before you make the right dishwashing detergent yourself, you need to compare the pros and cons of the approach, make sure the practicality, effectiveness and convenience of the chosen technique.
