A few years back, we replaced our 1969 garbage disposer.

The new one requires scrubbing or other work to keep it from stinking up
the house. The old one didn't require any of that.

Does anybody know a current model garbage disposer that doesn't require
cleaning?

Are you running the water long enough?

That was my thought, too. I have never had a garbage disposer develop an
odor. Some people like to grind citrus rinds (especially oranges)
occasionally, too.

My finding is that garbage in the garbage *can* stinks waaay worse than the
disposal. I would suspect drainage, or a bad vent or user error (not
running enough water).

My whole reason for having a disposal is less stink.

Just be sure to run the disposer (and the water) every
time you place food/trash in the disposer.

Pour a little bleach into the disposer every week or
two to help.

If you are still having problems, investigate the
downstream plumbing for problems. It does have a
P-trap, right?

Here's a good way to clean out your disposal, and the pipes. Put in
about 3 tablespoons of baking soda. Then pour in some vinegar . It
will bubble up and clear out a lot of stuff. Most people don't run
their disposals long enough. Make it a habit to run hot water and the
diaposal for 45 seconds or more.

Put a sheet of fragrant "Bounce" (the anti-static sheets for the laundry
dryer) in the bottom of the trash can every so often. EOS.

I put them in the kitchen and curbside trash "cans."

Mine doesn't stink at all. I rarely do anything to it other than toss
in a half lemon or orange every once in a while.

Just a plain old Insinkerator.

Mine never stinks. I grind egg shells in it every week.

Yeah, the one we replaced was a non-stinking old Insinkerator. I should
have saved it and tried to get the bent fork out of it. But new things
are better, right?

If it isn't caused by improper installation, try these:

Run the dishwasher outlet through disposal.

Grind a lemon once a week and see how that works. Should do the trick.

Nope, but try this: periodically put several ice cubes into the running
disposal. The ice helps to clean the blades and the chamber and then run
hot water through it. I also will drop in a couple of tablespoons of
baking soda and flush with water. If all else fails toss in a whole
lemon and let it get ground up.

Are they very common in America? I've never heard of anyone having them in
Australia. I've only ever seen them on TV. I throw all of that stuff into
the compost bin out the back, to go into the garden when ready. Improves
the soil heaps.

27-story condos don't have a garden out back.

Garbage disposals are VERY common. They are REQUIRED if you expect to sell
your home.

People who do need good soil buy it by the bag at Home Depot. It comes from
Australia.

I also throw my table scraps into the compost jar and then into the
bin, but one should not put grease, fat, bones, and meat into compost.

That stuff can go into the garbage.

I use my disposal very rarely; usually I put lemon rinds down the
disposal as a purifier.

As to the disposal, I've never heard of one stinking. The geniuses on
this NG will no doubt have wisdom about the pipes, the connections,
other elements that might be doing the stinking.

Awaiting with interest...

I don't like their sicky-sweet smell.

I just put baking soda in the bottom of the drawer where the
trash can lives, and more baking soda in the bottom of the
trash can itself. Change occasionally.

I have, however, heard that those "bounce" sheets are
good for cleaning wooden shutters. T/F?

They all need cleaning periodically.

Fill the sink to capacity, and whill it's filling dump in a small box of
baking soda.

Leave the water running, turn on the disposer, then pull the drain plug.

At least one manufacturer recommends this method, and I've found that it
really works.

If the "rubber finger" flange in the opening is removable, remove it and
give it a good scrubbing underneath.

Do you toss the animal bits int here as well? No matter how much leaf
mulch I have in the pile, animal remains stink and draw critters. We
only throw plant matter (fruits, veggies, some grains) and very little
fat. You are 100% about the soil inmprovement. It's amazing.

I always was told never to run hot water in the disposal as it can
overheat the motor. I do place ice cubes in mine to "clean" and
"sharpen" the mechanism. But I use cold water for the process.

Hi Matt,

Just asking here. Did you have to replace any drain piping when you
installed your new garbage disposer? If you did, please
explain...thanks...jimi

Baking soda and vinegar are sales , lots of sales , and money
for Mr Armand Hammer

the inventor of Arm And Hammer baking soda .

Lye is for cleaning , but Draino charges far too much for Lye and
magic dust ( aluminum dust actually ) .
You can buy dry Lye ( caustic soda ) for cheap , but it clogs your
drain first , then it unclogs it . It expands hair and bio material ,
clogging the drain , then it decomposes it .
a pinch in food adds flavor , if its too acid ...

After all that , its too much hassle owning a garb' disposal .
Just bag it and trash it .

Id like a piston compressor that takes all trash and compacts it
with 1000 psi and then dumps it into a bag .
Or maybe a 3 pipe system that dumps greywater to tree's and
disposal stuff to a pipe to the compost heap and another pipe
for very clear waste water to a drum ....


BTW i can now repeat Karo lt syrup .
1/2 cup water or less in a pan , add 5 times more sugar
1) boil ALL the water away til the I.R. thermometer shows its
quickly jumping from 210 F to 240 F ,
2) boil the thick liquid for 5 minutes at 240 or 250 F
3) then cool to 180 F ,
4) add water then heat to keep temp below 200 F .
Mix the water into the syrup ( not easy to do ) .

When the last drop of water evaporates , the temp' will
suddenly jump . The water was holding the temp at 210 F ..
Lt Brown sugar works even better flavor .
Add 1/4 tspoon salt and some vanilla and butter ....
ButterScotch .

You will notice it is not as sweet as table sugar , for the
syrup has lost its Fructose . It was converted to Maltose .
They say use acid to split out the Frc , but it is not needed
simply heating to 240 F works fast .
They say nuetralize the Acid with NaOH- ( a pinch of sodium )
but it works w/o . But NaOH will add a bit of flavor .
It tastes like pancake syrup .
The salt is deceiving , if you add too much , it will turn to
Butterscotch
add none and you get a less Butterscotch taste .
Try it . I use this in my iced tea and 100 uses ...

I clean mine as noted in an earlier post, however, I've never really noticed
it "stinking" and do the cleaning just as a matter of course. In have a
continuous-feed In-Sink-Erator.

Get yourself a goat. They haven't changed much since 1969, and even
current models DO NOT require cleaning. In my experience, they don't
even WANT cleaning, as you may learn if you try to clean one.

A goat will address most, if not all, of your garbage disposal needs,
and definitely not stink up the house. (This assumes that you do not
let the goat into the house).

If you can't locate a local goat dealer/installer, I'd recommend a
compost/mulch heap to address your garbage disposal problems. Like
goats, compost/mulch heaps have not changed much since the late 60's,
and WILL NOT stink up the house (unless, also like a goat, you set it up
in the house).

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure that the one replaced was from
1969. It could have been replaced before ... The most recent swap (ca.
2002) was without resort to a plumber or repiping. Not much to it---you
need some plumbers putty if you don't have a stainless steel sink. Not
much to it. It was about a one or two hour job as I took my time. Just
follow the directions that come with the new one. You can probably find
directions for your candidate replacement online at the mfgr's website.

If your wife is like mine, she thinks that a garbage disposal is like a
trash can. You wait until it is full, then empty it.

I just about have her trained. But still, at any time, I can go flip the
switch and there will be something in there to grind up.

She just doesn't get it.

If you EMPTY the garbage disposal WHEN YOU PUT SOMETHING IN THERE, it can't
stink. It's gone on its way down the pipe.

To get a start on it, run it with warm water for about two minutes. Pour
some Clorox in there. Feed it some chopped up lemons.

And don't wait until it's full to turn it on. If you're leaving stuff in
there long enough for it to stink,

Heeeeere's yer sign .................

Hot water + fat gradually coats the drain lines and may eventually clog
them. That mixture won't hurt the disposer. Cold water + fat does help to
keep the fat solid and more "grindable" and more likely to flushed down the
drain in tiny pieces.

Change, really! I think I've had the same box of baking soda in my
refrigerator for the last 23 years.

But I take the top layer off every time I need to neutralize the acid
on top of my car battery.

Actually, the fridge came with the house, but it had a sticker inside
that said that the enamel walls were especially good at not absorbing
smells. I probably dind't need the baking soda at all.

I had heard that they clog the thermostat of the clothes dryer, but
surely they solved that problem by now.

Any electric motor used in a device like that will not overheat just
because it is run for a minute or less, no matter how hot the water
is. Besides, the motors have a thermal cutoff switch for those times
the disposal won't start because of foreign matter stuffed in the
opening.

I was also told by a plumber not to use hot water when disposing of fatty
foods, but it had nothing to do with burning up a motor. I have forgotten
the precise reasoning, but it had to do with cold water being more likely to
keep fat in pieces that could more readily be washed down the drain instead
of gathering in one place to clog the drains. I know that wasn't exactly
the explanation, but he was referring specifically to fats that would melt
in hot water.

That might be true, but when my sink gets clogged from too much gunk,
I usually get it flowing again by using lots of hot water to melt the
gunk and move it further down the line. Whatever works is all that
matters, though.

Yes, the plumber talked about clogging the drain lines -- not the garbage
disposer itself.
