WFMW: Clean your garbage disposal

By mudlark • August 8th, 2007

Tried and true. A little citrus peel in the garbage disposal does wonders. Pick your scent – lemon, orange, lime, and grapefruit all work well, though the grapefruit peel is usually a bit thinner, so you’ll need to use a little more of it.

The citric acid actually cleans the blades and innards of the pipes and what-not, and it leaves a wonderful scent (to replace that stale food odor that no one likes).

That’s what works for me. Head over to Rocks in My Dryer for more Works for Me Wednesday tips.

I’ve heard of this idea, but never tried it. I’ve got some Tangelos around here right now – I’ll have to try it!

You are heaven-sent! Our garbage disposal is smelly! We’ve tried everything, hopefully this will work.

Thank you!

This is a good tip – we have done this for awhile – it really does work!
