Dishwasher Detergent: Don't Eat This At Home!

One of my all-time favorite sites, 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) here.

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.
