How to Clean the Garbage Disposal Using These DIY Cleaning Bombs

It’s no secret that the sink can be a dirty and smelly place if it’s not cleaned properly. Sinks are a huge feeding ground for bacteria. It’s easy to clean the sink, but how on earth do you get to that smelly garbage disposal?

• Baking soda (1 1/2 cup)
• Citric acid (1/2 cup)
• Lemon slices or lemon essential oil 
• Orange slices or orange essential oil 
• Spray bottle
• Silicone Mold
  
  Note: This recipe makes approximately 24 bombs.

• Start by slowing mixing together your baking soda and Citric acid. Make sure you’re doing this at a consistent pace until the ingredients are mixed together thoroughly.
• Once the mixture is done you can add your essential oils or fresh fruit juice. If you’re using essential oils add 20 drops of each oil (lemon and orange). If you’re using fresh fruit you’ll want about 10 drops of each. 
• Now taking your spray bottle filled with water, spray the mixture several times. When the mixture turns to a light paste that you’re able to mold you can stop adding water. Make sure the mixture holds its shape before proceeding to the next step 
• Fill the silicone mold with your mixture and let it sit overnight. Once they’re done you can remove them from the mold and pop them into a storage container for easy access.
