CLEAN your dishwasher (cheap an easy)

CLEAN your dishwasher (cheap an easy) about time to share this little tidbit with y’all. It’s so simple & frugal – all you need is a lemonade flavored packet of Kool-Aid. Yes, it has to be lemonade so don’t try cleaning your dishwasher with grape Kool-Aid. It’s the citric acid content inside the packet that does the trick, and the lemonade version is the only one that contains it. Simply pour 1 packet’s worth of Lemonade Kool-Aid into the spot where you put your detergent for a normal wash. Make sure your dishwasher is empty. Turn your dial to ‘heavy wash’ – and start the cycle. Let it run just as you normally would. When the dishwasher is done, you’ll have one sparkling clean dishwasher! Repeat this as needed, about once every 1-3 months depending on how often you use your dishwasher. I use a packet once a month because we are pretty avid dishwasher users – running 1-2 loads per day. Way cheaper than the overpriced cleaners you see at the supermarket, and it works just as good!
