Freshen Your Kitchen Sink

Have you ever noticed a bad smell coming out of your kitchen sink? It is probably nothing more than having a stinky garbage disposal. You may already know about placing ice in the disposal and running it to dislodge debris, but what about the smell?

Buy some lemons or limes, cut them into quarters or eights, put then in a freezer bag and freeze them. Take a few of the frozen pieces and put them in the disposal. Run the water and turn on the disposal. The ice will clear debris in the disposal and the peel will freshen the scent.

Call me today and find out how I can help you buy or sell your home smoothly and efficiently.

I had heard about ice and using cut up lemons, but never heard about freezing the lemo slices first. Thanks..I'll give it a try.

This is a great idea not only for the lemon but the frozen lemon as well. Baking soda sprinkled in there as well will help to dissipate the stinky smell.

Lisa, I never heard of freezing the slices first neither but it only makes sense. I usually always run "used" lemon slices from drinks through the disposal.
