Make your own homemade Garbage Disposal Cleaning Tabs with 4 simple ingredients!

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.

How to Make your own Garbage Disposal Cleaning Tabs 

They turned out pretty good and honestly, I’m excited to give them gifts! Not only will they clean your disposal, but they make your kitchen smell amazing!  Just in time for all of that spring cleaning!

Ingredients and Supplies for Homemade Disposal Cleaning Tabs

  • 3/4 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 3/4 tsp dish soap
  • 10 drops of lemon essential oil
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie sheet
  • Glass jar
  • Garbage Disposal Fizzies printable (optional)

Instructions for Making DIY Disposal Cleaning Tablets

  1.  In a large bowl, mix together baking soda and salt.  
  2. Slowly add liquid soap.  Stir well.  It will look like wet sand.
  3. Add 10 drops of lemon essential oil and mix well.
  4. Using a small measuring spoon, scoop and pack the mixture and set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5.  Continue until you run out of mixture.
  6. Allow to dry overnight!

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!
