And again I say...

Don't make the dishwasher detergent, I'm begging you, please.
Although the ingredients were dirt cheap..

And it was terribly easy to throw together.

We now have a year's worth of hard, stuck together soap.

And I'm just stubborn enough to see this challenge through to the last lump!

At first I purchased Rubbermaid for the storage of my wonderful concoction

 @ about $3.00.

You see the soap in there? It's lumpy and bricklike.

I had to cut the Rubbermaid apart with a knife to get the magic mixture out.

Next up; Tupperware!

That didn't work either but perhaps the airtight seal was bad, my Tupperware is decades old after all.

So today I purchased the third container to store this miserable mixture at a cost of $7.00.

I've spent $10.00 on containers!

Isn't it cute?

I'll surely use it later on, when the goop runs out,

 in 2013.

The cover has a good airtight plastic lining.

And because the top is wide at the very least we can dig the stuff out with a spoon!

Please do not make this detergent..

Amen.

Sideline Grandma.
