Do you have a garbage disposal? Does your disposal get smelly from time to time?
For the record, I hated ours and had Lenny remove it when we changed out our sink before Matthew was born. Am I the only person who hates a garbage disposal?
I have a mommy solution for you. (Aside from tossing the disposal out the window.)
When it starts to get smelly (or be proactive and do this on a routine basis) run lemon or orange rind through the garbage disposal. Really you could use any citrus fruit. I love the smell of grapefruit and limes as well.
It is a natural deodorizer. And inexpensive, too!
I am sharing this mommy solution on these resourceful sites: i heart naptime, the girl creative, C.R.A.F.T. craftomatic, crafts keep me sane, skip to my lou, making the world cuter, a southern fairytale, sumos sweet stuff, mad in crafts, tip junkie, tasty tuesday, tempt my tummy tuesday, craft edition, hope studios, todays creative blog, sew much ado, someday crafts, we are that family, blue cricket designs, somewhat simple, paisley passions, house of hepworths, fun to craft, fingerprints on the fridge, tidy mom, a few of my favorite things and it’s a hodge podge life.

I did not realize this tip until my husband, of all people, told me about it! Of course, HIS mother told him so…Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I’ve given you 2 awards: “Kreativ Blog Award” and “One Lovely Blog Award.”
Meredith- thanks so much for the awards. I will have to hop over and check them out.
Thanks for reading!
Throwing a handful of ice into the garbage disposal also helps clean it — That and citrus and it is much fresher.
What a great suggestion for cleaning out the disposal, One Mommy! Thank you for taking the time to share.
