If your disposer has developed an odor, it may contain bits of rotted food. Here’s how to clean them out:
With the water running at about half throttle, drop in orange or lemon peels. Run the disposer for five seconds. Citric acid from the peels softens crusty waste and attacks smelly bacteria. Give the acid about 15 minutes to do its work.
Turn on the water and the disposer and drop in a few ice cubes. Flying shards of ice work like a sandblaster inside the disposer.
Run the water until the bowl is about half full. Then pull the stopper and turn on the disposer to flush it out.
