Usually the garbage disposal is the source of my smells but the garbage can is close second. I don&#8217;t know why we can just wash the dishes every night and rinse dishes before the food becomes encrusted on,\u00a0so\u00a0that usually means that food is rotting away in the sink and garbage disposal.<\/p>\n<p>I usually run mine after I clean the dishes and I&#8217;m cleaning out my sink but about every other week or so I <strong>freshen the garbage disposal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">You will need<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ice<\/li>\n<li>Citrus peels<\/li>\n<li>Baking soda (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4517 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/refresh-sink-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/refresh-sink-1.webp 650w, https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/refresh-sink-1-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Freshen the Garbage Disposal<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Step One:<\/strong>\u00a0<a title=\"The Secret to Cleaning Stainless Steel Sinks\" href=\"https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/the-secret-to-cleaning-stainless-steel-sinks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clean your sink,<\/a> it doesn&#8217;t have to bee a deep cleaning. Just make sure to get rid of the food gunk hanging out on the walls. Angela, why is this important? You can freshen up your garbage disposal all you want, but a dirty sink will still stink.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Two:\u00a0<\/strong>Eat an orange, squeeze a lemon, make a key lime pie, whatever floats your boat because you&#8217;ll need the peels. I peeled some of the skin off a grapefruit in my fridge. Put the citrus peels down the drain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Three:\u00a0<\/strong>Add some ice and baking soda (optional) to your citrus peels and turn on your garbage disposal. Tip, run the water on a low cool stream to help rinse the blades while it&#8217;s disposing.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4518 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/freshen-sink-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/freshen-sink-1.webp 650w, https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/freshen-sink-1-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ice helps to sharpen and degunk your blades while the citrus peel oils help to cut through grime while smelling fantastic.

I like this way of making your sink smell nice because it&#8217;s pretty much free and natural.<\/p>\n<p>Happy cleaning!<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4519 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/freshen-garbage-disposal-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/freshen-garbage-disposal-1.webp 650w, https:\/\/kiwiservices.com\/angela-says\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/freshen-garbage-disposal-1-217x300.webp 217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far too many times have I walked into my kitchen and had to play find the stink game.
