If you have a garbage disposal or kitchen drain you know it can get a little stinky from time to time. I have a simple, two-ingredient solution that you can easily mix up today – DIY Lemon Garbage Disposal Cleaner. If you want to add this to your routine, use this weekly or when your garbage disposal gets a little stinky.

LEMON GARBAGE DISPOSAL CLEANER

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh or in a jar)

Mix the baking soda and lemon juice together to make a pasty liquid. The liquid will start fizzing – I find it best to bring the solution to the sink in case it bubbles up a little more than expected.

Slowly pour the solution down the drain. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes.

Run cold water and turn on the disposal and run for 30 seconds or so.

I also use a garbage disposal brush to scrub out the interior of the garbage disposal. This works really well after doing the above cleaning method.

Give the interior of your garbage disposal a little scrub, rinse with hot water and enjoy that clean garbage disposal.
