Be the first to rate it
Citrus peel, baking soda, salt and dish soap. Drop one in the disposal with cold water running.
What You’ll Need
- 1 orange lemon, or lime
- 1 cup baking soda
- ¾ cup of salt
- 1 tsp. dish soap (uncolored)
- Optional: a few drops citrus essential oil
- Silicone mold; glass canister for storage
Equipment
- mixing bowl
Directions
- Grate the citrus peel.
- Stir the baking soda, salt and dish soap together well, then mix in the peel (and oil, if using).
- Gradually add just enough citrus juice for the mix to feel like wet sand and hold its shape when squeezed.
- Press it firmly into the mold.
- Leave 4-5 hours (or overnight) to dry.
- Pop out and keep in a clean, dry glass canister.
Notes
Drop 1 or 2 pods into the disposal, run it, then rinse with hot water.
Safety: label the canister — pods look like candy or bath bombs; keep away from kids and pets. Never mix with bleach or drain cleaners in the disposal.
