Prep Time 5 minutes
Rest Time 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Equipment

  • Ice Cube Trays
  • Large Bowl
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Pure Baking Soda (bicarbonate soda)
  • 1/4 Cup Citric Acid
  • 1 Tbsp Unscented Pure Castile Soap

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl using a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
  • Add a few more drops of castile soap if the mix is too powdery. It should be crumbly, but will be able to mash together without falling completely apart.
  • Firmly press mixture into ice cube trays, filling them about 3/4 full. If you make the tablets too big, they may not fit in your dishwasher. Make sure you press them using a finger or spoon until there is no air and it's one solid brick. You should be able to fill 1 to 2 ice cube trays depending on the size.
  • Let the tablets rest on the counter for about 30 minutes to finish setting.
  • Make sure they're dry, and then gently pop the tablets out of the ice cube trays and store in a sealed container or baggy to prevent moisture getting to them. If they start to break when you pop them out, just let them rest for more time.
