HOW TO DEODORIZE A GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Daily use makes it easy for your garbage disposal to become a little smelly over
time.
I love using vinegar to clean in my kitchen, especially the dishwasher, but
vinegar is also great with helping to deodorize your garbage disposal is one.
Using frozen vinegar and slices of lemon, you can help to clean the blades of
your garbage disposal, while leaving behind a light and fresh scent.
Start by filling each compartment of an ice cube tray with white vinegar.

While I love adding lemon to my water for all of the great benefits you get from
it, lemon is also a great way to freshen up your garbage disposal.
A fresh lemon will ensure you have the juiciest fruit with the most pungent
scent.
Slice the lemon into wedges that will fit into each cube of the tray you filled
with vinegar.
I like to add as much lemon as will fit into each cube to ensure that my kitchen
is left with a light and fresh scent.
Once you've filled each cube space with vinegar and lemon, place the tray in the
freezer.
Freeze until solid. Vinegar requires a lower temperature than water to freeze.
Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the freezing temperature of vinegar
is 28 degrees.
While the freezing temp is lower, you likely don't need to change any settings
on your freezer to ensure the vinegar freezes. Just leave the trays in the
freezer overnight.
After the vinegar and lemons are completely frozen, remove the tray from the
freezer and twist it to loosen the cubes the same as you would if you were
making traditional ice.
Then drop 1-2 frozen vinegar cubes into your garbage disposal as often as you
want to give it a good scent.
Many people believe that ice is a great way to sharpen the blades if your
disposal, but the main benefit you will get from using ice is to loosen any
particles that might be stuck on your disposal blades.
The lemon gives your sink a light and fresh citrus scent.
Storing extra lemon and vinegar cubes in a zip-top bag will help avoid your
freezer smelling like vinegar while you have stock.

I used 4 ice cubes. We replaced the disposal and our plumber suggested using
kosher salt with lemons instead. It sharpens and cleans any gunk off the
blades as well.

What a great idea and concept for reducing, reusing, and recycling! I love
this.
I don't drink much lemon water, but my kids love fresh-squeezed orange
juice. We also toss the orange rinds in the disposal. Thank you so much for
sharing.
