Dump one or two cups of ice down the drain and flip on the disposal and the water. Grating the ice will knock any food pieces or other gunk o the disposal blades. When the ice is pulverized, turn o both. 2
Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda and one cup of vinegar into the disposal. Let it fizz for a while to dissolve remaining disposal goo, and then rinse away.
3Lastly, slice up a lemon or other citrus fruit, and, turning on the disposal and water, toss it in slice by slice. The acidity helps remove the last of the old food particles and leaves the disposal smelling better than new.
