Sheet pan
Parchment paper
Small spoon or scoop
Sealable glass jar
Directions:
- Gather the ingredients for making the garbage disposal refreshers.
- Measure and add the baking soda and salt to a small mixing bowl, and give a stir, ensuring the mixture isn’t lumpy.
- Now grate the lemon peel into the mixture along with adding the liquid dish soap.
- Slice the lemon in half, and squeeze the juice into the mixture.
- Continue stirring and adding juice until the mixture resembles coarse sand, which should take around three tablespoons of juice.
- Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper, use a small spoon or scoop to mold the half rounds, and then tap them out onto the pan.
- A rounded teaspoon measuring spoon works wonderfully. Continue molding the refreshers until the mixture is gone. Allow drying overnight.
- Place the dried garbage disposal refreshers in a seal-able container.
When your sink isn’t smelling fresh, simply place a few in the disposal, and flip the switch.
