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!
