Dishwasher Detergent: Don't Eat This At Home!

One of my all-time favorite sites, href="http://www.crunchybetty.com" target="_blank">Crunchy
Betty
, posted an article recently on homemade dishwasher
detergent. Her sister makes her own, and her one-year-old daughter
got into it and ate a fistful of it. One quick call to poison
control and they discovered that the fact that it was homemade
detergent saved them a trip to the ER.


Making your own household cleaners isn't just cheap and
eco-friendly - it's better for the kids, too! Check out her full
post (plus a few recipes for homemade dish detergent) href="http://www.crunchybetty.com/still-dont-actually-eat-your-dishwasher-detergent"

.


And as an obligatory warning note: even homemade cleaners can be
toxic. No one thinks your kid should drink a bottle of vinegar
straight, for instance. But it's better than the harsh chemicals
in store-made cleaners.
