Tip: Fix Yo' Stanky Kitchen Sink!

Here's a tip for you...

Lemony goodness awaits
When your in-sink garbage disposal starts to reek, throw a lemon down in there and grind it up. The essential oils in the lemon will clean the filth, and will swap a foul funk for an aromatic alternative.

AND, the next time you're juicing lemons, don't throw-away those used-up lemon corpses! Chop into eighths, put them into a freezer bag, and throw it in the freezer. There it will remain in suspended animation until your sink starts to stink. Toss a few frozen lemon pieces into the sink and spin to win.

You're welcome.

  1. Sheer genius! Who would’ve thought that lemon rinds could do such a thing for foul-smelling drains. My only concern is, if I continue to put “lemon corpses” in my sink, wouldn’t it clog at one point or another? I know this is a cheap and quick way to solve a stinking nuisance but I think calling a plumber would be a better solution in the long run, don’t you think so?

  2. Uh oh, someone's trolling two year old kitchen tips... This will address the smell coming from your kitchen sink disposal - not anything more serious. If you already use your disposal for other food odds and ends, some lemon pieces aren't going to make much of a difference. But, if it's a plumbing problem that's causing odor, get that checked! Fo sho!
