I am out of rinse aid (and am disinclined to make a special trip to the

can I make some more by watering down washing up liquid, or will that

work?

Don't use washing up liquid. Try this mix for a DIY solution

well

I hardly consider

citric acid,
rubbing alcohol
lemon essential oil

as common ingredients

like I already have them in my cupboard - not

by the time I have put that little lot together I could have bought the
commercial stuff

but thanks anyway

If I can substitute orange for lemon, then no problem. :-) Doesn't
everyone have some alcohol and citric acid lying around?

Citric acid has long been on my list of items that I want in my cupboard as
cheap generic scale remover, because I don't like the smell of vinegar

but I have never (since about 1970) seen anywhere openly selling it,

so no, I don't have some in my cupboards (I just suffer the smell of the
vinegar)
