Odor Killer With Lasting Effect
From time to time, my garbage disposal develops an unpleasant odor. This easy-to-use disposal cleaner takes care of the odor, with lasting effect. All that's required is to run some hot water into the disposer, drop in a packet, and run the disposer for a few minutes until the blue foam subsides. One treatment lasts several days or weeks, depending on how heavily the disposer is used.
I've also tried the cute little drop-in "bubble bath pearl" cleaners (for example, Plink Garbage Disposal Cleaner and Deodorizer). These leave a pleasant fragrance right after use, but usually the odor will return in a day or so. Thus they require much more frequent repeat treatments than the Disposer Care packets.
Simply Okay
I would consider this to be more of a maintenance product rather than a problem solver. If you have a really dirty disposal that hasn't had a good cleaning for a while, this won't do it. If you feel brave enough to stress your disposal, try running a healthy load of ice cubes through your disposal with a quarter cup of bleach thrown in and a very tiny amount of water. The ice turns into a bleach slushy and scours the inside of your disposal from top to bottom. You will need to keep adding ice as it gets ground up until it reaches the top of the disposal. You will be amazed at the amount of unseen gunk that gets pulled out of the unit. After a thorough scouring, this product does a fair job of maintaining the cleanliness. The amount of the product that is used to maintain the unit gets cost prohibitive though. After buying this, I found it on the shelf at Target for about half the price. Going forward, I'm just going to use the bleach slushy method to maintain my disposal since it...
Put something over the disposal entry.
I followed the instructions, turned it on, and then I got a fountain of blue nasty chemicals all over the front of me. Yes, I smelt good but I got stains on my shirt. The next time I'm going to put a bowl over the entry of the disposer and then I'll be okay. The disposer smells better and looks good.
