Deodorize Garbage Disposal with Ice and Lemons

The Problem

Disposal smells terrible despite running water. Buildup on blades causes the stench.

The Hack

Drop 10-15 ice cubes and half a lemon in wedges. Run with cold water for 30 seconds.

Why It Works

Ice knocks off blade buildup. Citric acid cuts grease. Lemon oils deodorize.

Pro Tips

  • Do weekly for a fresh-smelling sink
  • Follow with baking soda and vinegar
  • Never use hot water while grinding
  • Coarse salt adds extra scrubbing
