Ingredients:

  • 480g baking soda
  • 480g borax

  • 15 drops Lemon Essential Oil
  • 10 drops Peppermint Essential Oil

Method of Preparation:

Step 4: Allow to dry out and harden overnight.

Step 5: The next day, onto a clean surface, carefully turn the tray overand allow the now solid tablets to fall out.

Step 6 : Place a tablet in the dish detergent compartment of your dishwasher and run the cycle as usual.
