Re: Stinky Garbage disposal...now what?!

Re: Stinky Garbage disposal...now what?!
I would cut them into quarters then in half again...depending on how big the lemons are. You want the disposal to work but not break, KWIM?

I don't know about a disposal but when I have a stinky smell in my faucet, I put some good old baking soda down there and flush it well.

Same here, he said "I thought it went down the drain like the water." Also, he never even noticed the smell!!!
