How to Clean a Garbage Disposal

August 6, 2015 By xmlrpc Leave a Comment

If your garbage disposal smells like something is dying in it, don’t put up with it any longer – just use 1 of these 3 cleaning solutions and get instant relief!

Your first option is a lemon juice and baking soda mixture. Combine 1/4 cup of each into a paste, pour it down the drain, and let it sit in the garbage disposal for 15 minutes. Then, you can flush it, which should take care of whatever is rotting in your pipes.

Another solution is to combine 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 baking soda and do the same thing, except this time let it sit for 5 minutes instead of 15.

One final solution is to freeze lemon slices into an ice tray that is filled with vinegar. Every day, throw a few of these in the garbage disposal with cold water until they’re crushed.

We hope one of these solutions alleviates the stink of your garbage disposal! Read more on these recipes at the link below.
