Got a stinky garbage disposal? Allow me to introduce you to these DIY Garbage disposal pods. Super easy to make and smell oh-so-good!

What you need

  • Baking soda
  • Himalayan pink salt
  • Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds
  • doTERRA Spearmint essential oil
Shop the supplies

Baking soda

  • This all-purpose cleaner and deodorizer is pure, safe and natural
  • Has many uses around the house, including laundry detergent, carpet deodorizer and stain removers ⏤ just to name a few
  • Also commonly known as Sodium Bicarbonate

Salt

  • I’ve used Himalayan pink salt here, but any salt will work here
  • Has antimicrobial, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties

Dish soap

  • I’ve used Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds, but any dish soap will work
  • I like Sal Suds since it’s all-natural and plant-based as well as non-toxic

Spearmint essential oil

  • Has a fresh, minty aroma
  • Bonus benefit: It naturally repels rodents and insects

Tangerine essential oil

  • Has a sweet, citrusy, uplifting aroma
  • Cleansing and purifying properties
DIY Garbage disposal pods

How to make

  1. To your mixing bowl, get ready to add:
  2. 1 cup of Baking soda followed by 1/2 cup of Salt
  3. Mix these two ingredients well to combine
  4. Now, add 1/8 cup of Dish soap and 8 drops each of Spearmint and Tangerine essential oils
  5. Give everything another good mix to combine
  6. Next, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when you squeeze it in your hands. I used a total of 2 tablespoons
  7. Add the mixture to your silicone ice cube tray, being sure to tightly pack everything down
  8. Continue until all the mixture has been added
  9. Note: I tried making some pods by hand, and they stayed together just fine. They even dried faster. So if you don’t have a silicone ice cube tray you can still make this, I believe in you!
  10. Now comes the hard part: allow these pods to dry completely. Mine were still a bit damp even after 48 hours 😕 Of course, they still work ⏤ they were just a bit crumbly
  11. Once they are dry, add to an air-tight container to store
  12. All done!

How to use

  • Run your sink faucet
  • Turn on your garbage disposal
  • Pop in a pod
  • Enjoy your refreshed garbage disposal
  • Now that you’ve conquered the DIY Garbage disposal pods, maybe it’s time to get that stainless steel to sparkle next? Try this!
