Out of dishwasher soap? [View all]

I found myself today with a fully loaded dishwasher and whatya' know! Out of dishwasher soap! UGGG! Guests coming tonight!

Took a few drops of dawn and filled the rest of my soap flap with baking soda!

WOW! Is all I can say! My dishes came out SPARKLING! The wine glasses have NO drops at all! Crystal CLEAR!

I wonder what I've been spending my money on? I think I may change my habits! Much cheaper and super clean!

Just my FYI for today!
