1 drop food coloring (optional)

4-8 drops fragrance oil (optional - i like to use a mix of peppermint and grapefruit or a lime)

* mix together and store for a couple weeks in a sealed container or bag, i keep mine in a glass jar at my kitchen sink to rid of garlic and onion smells and another batch in the shower for my feet!
