In reply to robin. How much liquid Castile soap did you use? I’m using Dr. Bronners which is concentrated.. I’m just concerned about using too much!

In reply to T. Stanley. 1 tablet should be fine for a normal load. I suppose you could use 2 for a very heavy load but it probably isn't necessary. Of course this depends on the size of tabs you make so if your ice cube tray is particularly small you might want 2.

I’m going to try this. Seems like it works & everyone is pleased with the outcome. My question is, do you only use 1 tablet per load or what? Thanks.

In reply to Steph. I still use vinegar. I understand that vinegar + baking soda = salt water. That is in equal ratios. Using a tiny amount of vinegar will convert some of the baking soda to salt water, most of it will remain the same. The small amount of heat from the chemical reaction helps bind the tabs.

After reading the comments over the last few years I was wondering if you kept this original formula or have you tried omitting vinegar and using water to bind? If so, did you notice any difference with changing ingredients?

In reply to robin. Great additions! Thanks for letting me know those sound like great variations.

In reply to Jessica. I filled the cube tray about 1/2 to 3/4 full

In reply to El. I just used an ice cube mold, but you can size them whatever you think will work best.
