Forget lemons and costly cleaners. Super cheap salt works the best.
Here’s how it works:
- it a stopper into the sink, and fill with hot water and a squirt of dish detergent.
- Turn on the disposal and let the soapy water drain, pushing gunk down the drain with it.
- Throw 3 or 4 ice cubes and a handful of large-grain salt, such as Kosher, down the drain and run the disposal.
- Flush with water, and you’ve got a clean disposal.
Voila! A fresh-smelling drain!
