Garbage Disposal Cleaning Tabs
Sometimes you just have to take things into your own hands. When attempting to solve a stinky disposal issue, I turned my kitchen into a mini science lab and created this concoction. Ok, so only 4 ingredients but it still felt pretty dang exciting to create my very own garbage disposal cleaning tabs.

Instructions for Making DIY Disposal Cleaning Tablets
- In a large bowl, mix together baking soda and salt.

- Using a small measuring spoon, scoop and pack the mixture and set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

They smell SOOOOO good! I used lemon essential oil but you could also use Citrus Fresh or any other citrus scented oil.
Drop a couple in the garbage disposal and turn on! Smell be gone!
