Homemade Garbage Disposal Deodorizer Bombs

What’s the bomb? Having an ultra clean garbage disposal, that’s what!  Try my homemade Garbage Disposal Bombs!

Boy, the garbage disposal can get funky and foul smelling really fast. Especially during holidays when everyone has been cramming stuff down there all day. When it’s not regularly cleaned, your disposals stink can spread to the whole house.

That is why I adore these homemade garbage disposal deodorizer bombs. SO MUCH!

I make a huge batch and then store them until I need them. I prefer 1-2 bombs in my garbage disposal each time I do dishes. It has become the end step in my daily dish washing routine, and I don’t think I could ever go back to having a stinky garbage disposal again. Lemon fresh is always best!

Cost Breakdown:

2 cups baking soda: $.62
1 cup salt: $.25
1/2 cup water: $0
1/3 cup liquid castile soap: $1.33
30 drops Lemon essential oil: $.04/ drop = $1.20

Total: $3.40
36 garbage disposals: $.09 per disposal

Ingredient Breakdown:

Baking Soda: A cost-effective exfoliator that helps to remove odors and clean without scratching or harming surfaces.

Salt: A deep-cleaning exfoliator that helps to remove food build-up.

Water: Helps to hold all the ingredients together.

Liquid Castile Soap: I like using Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Castile Soap because it uses organic coconut and olive oil and doesn’t contain any artificial dyes or fragrances. It is super gentle (you can even use it on your infants) and does a great job at removing any grease in its path. You can purchase this online, Target, or any health food store.

doTERRA Lemon Essential Oil: Lemon essential oil is one of my favorite oils to use for cleaning. It helps to cut grease, deep clean, and make everything smell fresh like you are walking through an orchard of lemon trees.

Directions:

1. In a bowl, add all ingredients and stir until it forms a thick paste. If the mixture is too dry, add a single tablespoon of water at a time until it all comes together. It should be the consistency of damp sand.

2. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop packed spoonful’s onto parchment paper until bowl is empty. You should get around 36 tablespoon sized spoonfuls.

3. Let the Garbage Disposal Bombs sit for 24 hours until they are dry. Store in an airtight container to use at your convenience. After you wash your dishes, put 1-2 finished Disposal Bombs in your garbage disposal and turn it on for 5-10 seconds with warm water running. You will immediately get the fresh aroma of Lemon and have a sparkling clean garbage disposal.
