First of all, let's talk about what scrub tablets are. These versatile gems are like dishwasher tablets but customisable in size and are the ultimate solution for tackling stubborn grime on various surfaces.
How to make them
It's actually pretty simple. Here's what you'll need:

- 1/2 cup (125g) Sodium Percarbonate

TOOLS
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Measuring Cups
- ice cube tray or suitable mould
MAKES
For perspective this will make roughly 12 tablets the size of a standard ice cube or dishwasher tablet. However you can to any size, mould you desire.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Start by mixing the powder ingredients in a bowl, taking care not to breathe in the raised dust.
2. Add a few drops of your favourite essential oil and slowly add water a teaspoon at a time. You want the mixture to just combine but not be wet and dilute.
3. Spoon the mixture into your silicone mould, pressing it down firmly. Let the tablets dry for at least 24 hours until they're completely hardened.
