Homemade Liquid Dish Soap
2 quarts (8 cups) of water 
1/2 bar of your favorite soap  (I use Ivory, but you can use castle or whatever you like best.) 
2 cups of vinegar to cut the grease  (I suppose lemon juice would do the trick too, but citrus takes the shine out of your silver ware too, so I use vinegar.)
