DIY Garbage Disposal Cleaner

I’ve always been a very clean and organized person, but since getting married and moving into our own place, it’s crazy how OCD I’ve become over cleaning areas of the house that I never even thought about when I lived with my parents, like the garbage disposal. I typically just pour a boat load of bleach and Pinesol down the drain, and I’m not even sure if it’s safe to mix those two cleansers together. When I found this all natural DIY garbage disposal cleaning solution I decided to give it a try…because I much rather have my home smell like citrus than hazardous chemicals. 

Here’s what you’ll need:
-Citrus peels
-White vinegar
-muffin tins or ice cube tray

Fill muffin tins or ice cube tray with a few citrus peels and white vinegar and put in freezer. To use, place a cube down the disposal and turn it on. The ice actually sharpens the disposal blade, and I was happily surprised by how much the citrus scent filled my kitchen! Here’s another great citrus smelling DIY cleaner for your Spring cleaning  (here).
