When I moved into a more affordable apartment a couple of months ago, one of the luxuries I gave up was a disposal. Although my kitchen is modern with a dishwasher, I can't put anything down the sink's drain. It's a total hassle, but one that I am slowly becoming accustomed to. How about you?
To keep your garbage disposal smelling fresh, take half of a lemon and pop it into the disposal. If you do this monthly, it'll help prevent icky odors from building up, and keep your sink, disposal, and kitchen all smelling fresh. I've found that using a lemon that's already been juiced works fine as well.
If you already have an odor issue in your disposal, try using half of a lemon followed by a handful or two of baking soda.
No matter how diligent I am about trying to keep my bathroom shelves clutter-free, they still seem to eventually get overrun by prescription medications that have a pill or two left in the bottom of the bottle. It's definitely a no-no to keep prescription medications sitting around your home, especially if they're past their expiration date.

The onions from tonight's dinner are wafting back through the sink and your otherwise beautifully spotless kitchen is beginning to stink. Well, I'm happy to say, this problem can be easily eliminated. To read my simple disposal tip and other garbage disposal hints, read more
