How to Clean a Garbage Disposal and Get Rid of Odors Fast — Danbury CT

Published on 13 October 2026 at 16:07

A smelly garbage disposal can stink up your whole kitchen. Here's how Edna freshens them up fast. First, run cold water and drop in a handful of ice cubes with a cup of white vinegar frozen into them — the ice knocks debris off the grinding plates while the vinegar deodorizes. Then cut a lemon into wedges, drop them in one at a time with the cold water running, and let the disposal grind them up. The citrus oils cut grease and leave a fresh scent. Finish by sprinkling baking soda into the drain, letting it sit 10 minutes, then flushing with hot water. Do this monthly to keep odors away for good. Serving Danbury, Brookfield, Bethel, New Fairfield, and surrounding Fairfield County towns, Edna's House Cleaning Service offers weekly, bi-weekly and monthly plans, deep cleans, and move-in/move-out cleaning.
