Join Tiffany and Kat as they spiral into a rabbit hole filled with  vegetable glycerin and citric acid and salt -- and charts tracking it all -- while Tiffany tries her hand at homemade dishwasher detergent. Spoiler alert: It doesn't go well.

But fear not! They offer an easy (and totally free) trick you can do today with your dishes that will be way more impactful than charting your way to madness. (Oh, and learn why you might want to steer away from pods - yikes). Get all the deets in this episode of your favorite green living podcast.
