Disposal smells bad is cleaned with enzyme Enforcer

Garbage disposal smells are usually caused by food trapped in the cracks and crannies inside the disposal's grinding chamber. Mix one scoop of Enforcer Drain Care with a pint of warm water. The enzymes will coat the inside of the grinder and will eat away at the rotting food that is the source of the odor for a clean garbage disposal.

Some people try lemon peals, which helps but the stink keeps coming back within a few days. The acidic acid from the lemon will clear up some of the rotting food in the grinder. The problem is the lemon reduces the odor but does not remove the rotting food.

The enzymes in the Enforcer DRAIN CARE (liquid or powder) will consume the old food and sweeten up a stinky disposal. Use a disposable container for the mixing, not a food container. Run thirty seconds of warm water into the disposal to pre-warm the surfaces. Pour mixture into a running disposal and immediately turn it off. Do not use the sink for the rest of the night.

The real beauty of this operation is the excess drain cleaner will be cleaning the lateral drain line at the same time. This is where most kitchen clogs are at, not in the disposal or the trap where most people think.

My favorite method to clean onionskins, carrot peelings, and other food shavings that have clogged a disposal grinder is to drop in a handful of ice cubes. Turn it on and let those babies rattle around there and clean off all the skins. Do not forget to run plenty of water during and after grinding up any food waste. You do not have to run the disposal the whole time, just let the water rinse the slurry all the way out of the drain.
