You would think your kitchen sink is relatively clean, considering the number of times per day you use it but how often are you running soap or detergent down it?
Check out our step-by-step DIY recipes to get your sink and disposal clean.
I don’t have a garbage disposal in my house, any food scraps seem to make it into my mouth as if I am the mummy cleaning machine. Sometimes I don’t make my self lunch knowing that I will just eat the kid’s leftovers. Shameful I know. I did have a garbage disposal unit in one of my properties and apart from always losing a spoon down there, it did stink 90% of the time.
These Garbage disposal cleaners all have lemons and citrus properties and they are pretty much the same thing just created in different ways. Personally, I like the refresher blocks that don’t need to be stored in my freezer as freezer space is limited here in our house as I am storing food in there for a zombie attack. Here are all the different variations of DIY Garbage Disposal cleaners, all with the same outcome – Clean garbage disposal. Grab a DIY recipe and make your own cleaners.
Here is our own recipe too
Ingredients
2 cups baking soda
1 cup salt
½ cup water
? cup unscented liquid castile soap
30 drops Lemon oil or the peel of 2-3 lemons
Mix all the ingredients together to form a clumpy paste, pop into a mold or ice cube tray and turn out and allow to dry. If you have ever made bath bombs it is the same concept.
That’s it! This new tricks works oh-so-perfectly for me. With my recent obsession with freshly squeezed orange juice, I always have orange rind around the house. So after I juice my oranges, I keep some rind in a Ziploc bag and store them in the fridge. That way, whenever the garbage disposal is getting a wee-bit stinky, I drop a couple rinds and return back to an odor-free kitchen.
