To be precise, she uses 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda, then 1/4 cup of citric acid and 1 tablespoon of Persil’s Apple Fizz washing up liquid.
Speaking to her 62,000 Instagram followers in a clip on Mrs D’s Cleaning Reviews, she said: “Mix it all together and it’s ready to go straight into your silicone moulds.
“Leave to set for a minimum of four hours, overnight if possible, and that is how you make your own dishwasher tablets.”

After they’ve gone hard, put them in an air tight container to keep them fresh.
In the caption, Mrs D added: “One homemade dishwasher tablets will only cost you 1p per tablet, unlike branded ones which cost around 17p per tablet, over time that can save you quite a bit of money.”
And if you use your dishwasher on a daily basis that means the savvy tip will save you an impressive £58 a year.
