Air Freshening Tabs
Materials
- 2 cups Baking soda
- ⅔ cup Distilled water
- 1 cup Downy Unstopables In Wash Booster or essential oil
- 8-10 drops Silicone mold
Instructions
- Begin by combining the baking soda and the water until the consistency of the paste gets pretty thick.
- Stir in the scent booster or essential oil.
- Spoon the mixture into the silicone mold. I filled each of the cups about ¼ of the way.
- Allow tablets to dry for 48-72 hours.
Notes
- Consistency Check: When mixing the baking soda and water, aim for a thick paste-like consistency. If the mixture is too runny, the tabs may not hold their shape well, making it difficult to remove them from the mold or leading to crumbling.
- Scent Selection: Consider the strength of the scent booster or essential oil you're using. Adjust the amount according to your preference, keeping in mind that the fragrance will disperse gradually over time. Start with a conservative amount and add more if needed after testing the initial batch.
- Patience in Drying: Allow the air freshening tabs to dry thoroughly before attempting to remove them from the mold. Rushing this step may result in tabs that are too fragile or moist, causing them to break apart. Give them ample time—ideally 48 to 72 hours—to ensure they are completely dry and solid.
