- 20 drops lemon essential oil
- Mixing bowl spoon, silicone mold with 2-tablespoon cavities

Notes
One pod in the detergent cup; optionally no more than 2 drops dish liquid for grease; set a shallow dish with about 1/2 cup white vinegar on the top rack.
Safety: dishwasher pods are not candy — store high, closed and labeled, away from kids and pets. Wear gloves (borax and washing soda irritate skin). Never more than 2 drops dish liquid (suds can flood the kitchen).
