From Old To New, Citrus Peel to Garbage Disposal Deodorizer

Posted by Audrey Querns at Mar 01, 2011 01:20 AM |

Freshen up that smelly garbage disposal with some citrus peels. No need to purchase any store bought product. Just use leftover peels. Any citrus will do.

From Old To New, Citrus Peel to Garbage Disposal Deodorizer

citrus deodorizer

Citrus used as a deodorizerWhenever you use a citrus fruit (lemon, lime, or orange), grind the leftover rind in your garbage disposal to keep the drain smelling fresh.   If your disposal is on the weak side, cut the rind up into smaller pieces.

If your disposal is smelling rank, and you don’t happen to have left-over citrus peels lying around, toss 1/3 of a cup of baking soda followed by a 1/3 of a cup of vinegar down it.  Make sure the kids get to watch the foaming reaction of acid and base mixing, and enjoy a clean, fresh-smelling drain.
