LOVE this idea! I even saved waste by using the odor absorbing box of baking soda from my fridge, that I needed to replace anyways! Thanks again! -
Well I did it! At first I thought, "Oh my, I hope the kitchen doesn't smell like vinegar for hours." But after I let the disposal run for the full 2 minutes with cold water running...there was absolutely NO smell at all! Since I no longer have ice cube trays since we have an icemaker...I just poured the vinegar into a ziplock plastic bag....laid it on top of the ice in the icemaker...and voila...this morning it was frozen. Then I just hit the plastic bag on the sink counter ledge a few times and it broke it up so it was easy to empty into the disposal.

WOW! It sure does work! My disposal is getting on in years and now my usual mainteenance or citrus peelings don't seem to do the job.....but this did. Thanks for a great tip! -
I was so happy to find this recipe! I am so sick of spending money on commercial garbage disposal cleaners. Anyone who thinks that their disposal doesn't smell is kidding themselves! Disposals require regular maintenance, just like anything else... This recipe is a real money saver!
