      Depending on your location/humidity it might take up to 24-48 hours to dry them completely.

      I think that would depend on your mold sizes… for a small mold like this one it made 6 if I remember correctly.

    Does it matter what size you make the pods?

      I don’t think it matters too much, I wouldn’t get them too big though.. keep them on the smaller size.

    Hi Karrie, I just made these and the mixture foamed up like crazy and just kept foaming. I could pat it down and pack it into the mold but it just kept foaming away. I probably didn’t use the right kind of soap. What did you use? Thanks!

      Was it wet? Sounds like it might be a possiblilty bc the foaming is the chemical reaction between the baking soda and citric acid. Just like bath bombs foaming starts with the addition of water
