Tips

  • If the mixture crumbles apart, add just a tiny bit more Castile soap.
  • The pods will puff up slightly as they dry, which is why you should leave room at the top of the molds.
  • Use 1 pod per dishwasher load.
  • Store in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dry place to keep moisture out.
